3 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / OVER YOUR HEAD by Patricia Hamel 9/21 on: September 20, 2007, 09:08:29 PM
Over Your Head
By Patricia Hamel


When you are in over head you can tread water. It is in these
times that I am with you and holding you up. Continue to tread
and rest in Me knowing that underneath My everlasting arms are
holding you. You have come to the place where the sufficiency
has got to be God and not yourself and you know of your own
self that you can do nothing.

Tread water and tread lightly and know that as you do you are where I want you to be.
It is not always in moving but sometimes in standing that you are growing. You are seeing your own frailties and you need to
see My strength at work in you. I am working in you, producing
a far more eternal weight of glory.


The eternal God is your refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
Deuteronomy 33:27 (NKJV)

THE KEY IS IN THE DOOR OF FAVOR

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RHEMA 5/11/07 THE KEY IS IN THE DOOR OF FAVOR



I woke this AM under oppression as I was slimed all night by the enemy. I had been fasting.



PASTOR'S PRAYER MEETING

HEARD: Avenge My beloved. I will reward you.



PIX: I saw a hand with a key in a lock start to turn it in a door knob.



HEARD: I am training you to walk circumspectly.



[PRAYER: Lord what's inside the door?] (I asked this several times)



QUICKENED MEMORY: The Holy Spirit then imparted to me what Wayne had told me this morning. He was listening to Sadhu, a prophet from India, preach on the Lord's favor. Sadhu spends a lot of time in prayer and many times he is given to see Jesus. Sadhu was preaching on favor and he said that one time the moment he went to prayer and called out on Jesus, that Jesus appeared to him with a glowing, loving face and said, “What may I do for you, My son?” Sadhu said that is the favor of the Lord, that even though we cant see Him, He is immediately there listening to us the moment we call upon His Name.



QUICKENED SCRIPTURE: As I was thinking about this, I thought of the following scripture, and so I mentioned to the Lord that I hoped it was the door of favor so that whatever we asked, it would be done.



John 15:7-8 NKJV If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.



QUICKENED: Then pastor's wife prayed the phrase, “the door of Your promises.”



HEARD: The door of hope.



CONFIRMATION: Then pastor's wife prayed, “Open the door of favor”.



HEARD: In a moment's time. That's how fast. The key turns. Walk in.



CONFIRMATION: The second after I put the period at the end of the above two words, “Walk In,” pastor opened the door and walked into the room.



HEARD: Commissioned.



HEARD: [I was thinking about being slimed and how that affects us.] Faith.



IMPARTATION: The Lord imparted to me that the slime affects us only if we allow it to shake our faith and bring the veil of separation down. If we just renounce and rebuke and let the Holy Spirit wash it off, it does not impede us at all.



WORD TO PONDER: THE DOOR OF PROMISE, HOPE AND FAVOR 5/11/07

I have heard your cries for deliverance and I will avenge My Beloved and reward her for her faithful stand. Yes I AM training you to walk circumspectly, for your choices matter and time is too short to be slimed by the demonic when you need to hear Me. For injustice, I recompense more than enough. Even now I have placed a key in the door of hope. The door to your promises awaits and more importantly this is the door of My favor, where you shall ask what you will and it shall be done.



Be ready, be prepared, be expectant for in a moment's time the door opens. Do not miss your hour of visitation, but remain diligent to redeem the time. Every time you gather in My name, there is a great gathering for My kingdom agenda and history changes upon its impact.



Eph 5:15-21 NKJV See then that you walk circumspectly , not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.



Hos 2:15-17 NLT I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope. She will give herself to me there, as she did long ago when she was young, when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt. "In that coming day," says the LORD, "you will call me 'my husband' instead of 'my master.'



Isa 61:2 AMP To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of His favor] and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, [Matt 11:2-6; Luke 4:18,19; 7:22.]

"THIS IS THAT - FLY"
Susan E. Waldrop

The Whisper
" THIS IS THAT - FLY "

Sept. 20, 2007

I saw a bird in a gilded cage, sitting on one perch, swinging all alone. Sadness had all but consumed him. Darkness and the spirit of death was all around and upon him.

Then out of nowhere, this beautiful glow as a ray of light came and this loving hand opened the door and the little bird jumped onto the hand and the hand carried the bird out and offered freedom, but the little bird still thought it was in the cage.

It thought it was dreaming and just sat there starring into space, so the master put his cheek next to the birds face and whispered: 'You are free! Fly my little one, FLY!'

And the little bird looked up with tears in its eyes, and for the first time in all its life, hope filled it, and it put its wings out and keeping its eyes on the master, jumped off the hand, and found it could fly!

And the joy that filled its soul, could not be put into words, and it danced as it flew and soon the other birds in the air all began to dance together, and then, I heard him whisper;
- - -

"You are My Bird and I have opened the door for you to fly but will you?
Will you leave that which is known for that which is unknown - excepting Me?
Come I bid thee, you can fly.

This is the season of My new beginnings for thy life
The season of blotting out the old, and creating the new!
I have pronounced it, I have declared it and it is upon you now!

For there are new horizons I want you to cross
There are new valleys I want you to go through
And the jungles are needing you,
The cities are crying for you
The desert is dying without you
And all creation is waiting for YOU

For you are my bearer of the truth
The bearer of My presence
The bearer of everything that is good, and trusting

You are My sheep
You are My lamb

You are the incontestable essence of Me

Fly, my little one Fly, for this, is Your Season
This is your new year

This is that, which I spoke to you years ago,
This is That - 'Fly' "


I Love You

10 PROPHECY: / Praise and Devotionals / THE BIRDS FORMATION by Deb Trammell 9/20 on: September 20, 2007, 03:47:47 PM

September 20, 2007



The Birds Formation



Recently at two different times now, in the large oak tree, in the back of the place I live, it seemed hundreds of birds were singing all at one time. The first time, this went on for three days. It was so cool, yet the noise was almost overwhelming. The second time, last week, it went on for hours.

I chuckled, as I thought of the scene in the movie, "Steel Magnolia's" with Sally Field and Julia Roberts. The day of the daughter's wedding the dad was outside shooting a shotgun, trying to scare the birds away, out of the tree, in their yard. The noise in my yard was incredible!

I just witnessed the most awesome scene in the sky. Here in SW Michigan, it is a beautiful sunshiny day. I opened the blinds on the patio door, opening the door, I realized I could open the windows for that refreshing breeze to blow through my place.

Stepping out on the deck, my eyes were drawn to my right, to the telephone wires. There sitting perched, were what seemed to be hundreds of birds. They made no chirping sounds, just sitting there on that wire, as if, they were waiting for orders for their next move, staying very quiet.

Suddenly, out of the north-east sky, I saw what looked like a black cloud, rushing across the sky, towards me. I watched in awe as this formation approached. As it drew near, I saw it was an orchestra of birds flying closely together in choreographed position. What a sight to behold!

As this group approached, all the birds on the wire, took off in unison, falling into their formation. These two groups gave me a brilliant show as they flew around, as if to say, 'Look what God has done!' They seemed to dance to the music they heard, they moved beautifully giving an awesome show, in their different formations. The choreographed performance was a stand up performance, leaving me, wanting an encore!

Smiles and joy swelled on the inside of me as I watched, just awed by what I was gifted to see. At one point the group from the NE looked like glitters of pure gold, due to the reflection of the sun on their body. Next, this group formed a FULL CIRCLE, for a moment, then suddenly they formed an exclamation mark! As quickly as they showed this mark, they poofed! Both groups of birds were gone!

I felt like a little child inside, jumping up and down giggling and clapping my hands, saying "Oh Daddy thank you for this show"! I am still shaking on the inside from watching this!

I asked the Lord, "what was that"? He answered, "this is how my body moves, this is how my body looks, moving in one accord!" Folks, it was so beautiful!

Currently, I am reading two awesome books. "The Battle for the Mind" by Noel Jones and "Who Switched Off My Brain" by Dr. Caroline Leaf. I saw Dr. Leaf being interviewed by James Robinson on TBN one day and I quickly ordered her book! This is one of the most awesome books I ever read for an education, in how our body and brain works together to bring health or disease. I was doing an mental exercise with prayer just before I saw the birds.


I was speaking and praying over my body. I was speaking to the cells of my body to come alive in the name of Jesus. I was speaking to my cells, any toxic emotions or memories stored in my body or cells, to come loose and be removed, in the name of Jesus. Right after I did this for myself I stepped outside and saw this bird formation! My whole body came alive watching this, with a tingly sensation all over me. The joy I felt inside was so overwhelming and I was left shaking on the inside.

As I typed in birds at www.blueletterbible.com 25 verses came up in the KJV. A few of those verses follow.

Ecc 9:12 KJV
For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so [are] the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

Sounds like we are given a heads up, doesn't it?

Is 31:5
As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver [it; and] passing over he will preserve it.

Thank You Lord! Even though we may be snared, for a moment, the Lord defends us and He delivers us, passing over us (like those birds) He preserves as as well!

We are covered in the shadow of the Almighty!

How exciting is that? Just had to share this spectacular moment with you!

If anyone sees more from the Holy Spirit about this writing, please share with me?

A Word for Your Day!

Boldly Prophesying God's WORD to the WORLD!











Cutting the Cords...Sailing Onward! By John Mark Pool

www.wordtotheworldministries.org



While on my normal [mostly abnormal to regular people!] ministry sojourn for this past couple months, the Lord begins what I call a “saga word” or a “to-be-continued” word.



Of all the way and the words that God sends me, this is my least favorite method and it proves God does not consult His voices on how and when, He just does! Thus God finally gave the completion of this during a recent conference at the Glory of Zion Outreach Center in Denton, Texas, [From Intercession to Declaration] with C. Peter & Doris Wagner, Chuck Pierce, Robert Heidler, John Eckhardt, Cindy Jacobs, Dutch Sheets, Kim Daniels and Ray Hughes. After this meeting, all the other conferences and the Words that had “to be continued” over the file were released! God told me today is the New Day in His Kingdom! 5768 has arrived and we are going into a New Thing!



THIS IS INDEED A NEW DAY IN A NEW WAY AT A NEW GATE (GAIT)!

This is a time to move ahead. This is a word to encourage us to cut the past losses and move into the forefront for God’s Kingdom assignment for 2008! We are now in a New Gate and New Gait. A new Door and a New Step! This means we are getting new keys for new assignment for new gates for new land, for new assignments and we will be aligning with a new synchronized march of the Gait of God not out of step with the enemy!



Hear this Word for our Church and Leaders that came in this manner and then continues:



Cut the cords that tie you down. Throw the ropes and set the ship to sail! Do not hold onto the ties and comforts of the past or the “familiar” to keep you from sailing into new waters and new lands!”



Psalm 2:1-3:

2:1) Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing?

2) The kings of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed:

3 "Let us tear their fetters apart, And cast away their cords from us!"



God said to me as clear as if we were speaking together in an audible conversation:



“Cut the ties of the past to sail into your future!”



The Lord is telling us that we are creatures easily affected by “comfort zones.” We move to those zones and do not want to venture out into the deep until made to!



Oh, no, we do not like the unknown, the uncertainty of new territory, yet that is just the way it has always been with God or He would not have given us Israel’s journey along with so many other patriarchs of faith to show us how we too must live!



I heard the Lord say into my spiritual ear:



“You have cut the ties of the ship full of spies!”



What? Spies...Yes, but not what you think! They are MY COMPANY OF CALEBS AND JOSHUAS!



Do not Despise [Dual meaning is “not to put the “spies” off the ship: do not “De-Spies] a Small Beginning. These are my Spiritual Special Forces.



This is a group of well-trained and hungry youth that have a heart to go into the New Land on a New Assignment that will not allow another company to testify of a bad report this time! This new generation of youth of God’s Army is everything the old were lacking. This young army today will go out to the ocean in a raging storm to find that new ground God promised! This new generation will go out to the waterways with bait on an assignment to cut Leviathan’s head off! This is Caleb and Joshua bunch that will not allow the scoffers to stay on the ship! This is a group that is seeking the will and the way of God as no generation has ever done before. They are the ones that indifference will not even begin to tame their pursuit of God’s Move.



This group has gone into the Promise Land of God and has begun to stake their claim for Kingdom Property! This group is not waiting on the doubters to view grapes of overabundance and yet continue to doubt because they have now “cut their cords” from those who would be detractors and doubters to lead this next generation into a move no human has ever seen before. This group that has set sail now, is taking every shoreline they touch. I heard the Lord say that:



►“This is a NEW SHIP!”

This ship is not a repaired version of the old ship comfort! This is a Battle Ship that has fresh wood that is able to slice through any waves and not be stopped. It glides quietly at night and does not creak or groan so as to move into harbors the enemy has believed he will own yet is exposed in the middle of the night watches! It is during this time they will release the bait and two well-trained battle-axe handlers is positioned on the both sides of the front of the destroyer and is calling for Leviathan to come up! Yes, they are baiting Leviathan! When Leviathan takes the bait, they both will step forward and simultaneously from both side swing their razor sharp golden axes and as a Huge Set of Shears will catch Leviathan’s head in the “scissor” affect of their axes coming together at the same time! This will completely sever the head of Leviathan of the deep in the seas where he hides and will release an abundance of freedom in the lands in which the hungry now dwell and have been held by the sway of that cunning stronghold. It is now being cut asunder!



This ship is now sailing across America and is gathering forces for the all-out destruction of the enemy strongholds that have taken out previous generations. This ship is set out for battle! This ship has specialized equipment and does not take prisoners! This ship is set for Warring the Word of God over the High Seas and taking every harbor where it lands as God directs.

This ship is smaller than most battlewagons and more the size of a stealthy destroyer ship. This ship has the enemy very upset at this moment.

This ship has not ever planned on going back to a comfortable homeport. This ship is taking nations!” This ship is named “GOD CALLED!”



God has told us to cut asunder all the bands of the wickedness that has been placed upon us by the sprit of religion. We must cut off the old binders of the ways of the past in order to sail into a new vessel that is lean from fasting, praying and obeying only the voice of the Lord—not man. We will now see the Kingdom of God advanced yet the battles are going to intensify. We must be going into this new year of 2008, [Hebraic Year as just begun on September 13- Rosh Ha’Shanna] with an attitude of cutting away the bonds that so easily set us back before. It is now a time to “cut your losses and move ahead!” We must not look for the comfort zone as our home! We must move ahead and be the seasoned battle-trained people to assist in this young unstoppable militia taking new ground for God’s Kingdom! IT will take both seasoned, older veterans that are proven in rank and order in the Kingdom to be along side this vigilant regimen to bring in Apostolic wisdom, timing, and orders. God is doing something we have never seen!



Cutting the cords means not looking back and furthermore indicates going into the new year we must now adopt a NEW DAY without any contingency plans! We do not have plan B for the new land. The plan is simply do not go backward—take the land that is ours! In other words we have only one plan—WIN! WE WIN—NO MATTER WHAT!



This cutting of the cords will free us from doubters, scoffers, carnal or flesh plans in this battle! I heard the Lord further emphasize:



“No CARNAL barnacle!”



►This is time to lay aside the “Lots in our lives.”



“And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; 15) for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever. 16) "And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered.” Genesis 13:14:16 NASB emphases added.



God is telling us to cut loose from the leeches that will only prove to suck the anointing out of our call. Cut asunder the wrong ties and the bonds that have so easily set us back in our past journey. We cannot carry the burdens of our wrong relationships of the past with us as “extra baggage” that will serve to weight us down in the battle for new Kingdom territory! Only when Abraham allowed greedy Lot to choose the land of the fertile Jordan valley did He then give Him the Abrahamic Covenant that exists today. We are descendants of that very covenant that was given only when Abraham separated himself from the Lot of his life that was bringing discord.



We will now move into a land of Canaan as we have cut the ties of the past and will begin to occupy our new territory for the Lord! Do not look into your past to view your future! I heard the Lord then say:



“You are singing a NEW SONG OF THE LORD IN A NEW LAND. YOU ARE MAKING NEW CHORDS IN PLACE OF THE ENEMY’S PLAN FOR DISCORD! Now usher in the Song of the Heavens into the Land that flows with Milk and Honey of My Presence!”



Cutting ties from the losses of the past do not mean you do not love, pray and care for those wrong relationships, but serves to do you absolutely no good to “coddle them.” That is a trick of the enemy to disguise “love” and that is not love at all. Pampering wrong relationships is not love. It is a guise from the enemy birthed out of “guilt and shame” if you do not become their supply of their immature “approval needs.” Be warned this is not love at all it is really an enemy scheme to hobble leaders destined for great Kingdom assignments from going in all the way. This is a Word to the Body to cut those “sucker plants” out of your life. They will not nor have never paid the price you have to be where you are, yet when you move into the level God has planned they are only around to be the “barnacle” attached to your legs of doing to go where they could not otherwise go. Real children of God are not parasites! Love will not allow you to leech the life from a family member. This will hold you back because God does not promote the Lots of your life when you go into the New Canaan Land. Some of them will cost you precious time and trouble to save them from the fiery judgments of God, even losing their wives hoping to turn many into looking back toward her land of lust to join her in becoming pillars of salt in honor of wrong relationships. The “Lots” we have drug along in our life as ball-and-chains that have served to promote spiritual co-dependency for years spurned those wrong relationships. Cut your loses and your Lots and move on!



"How long will you go here and there, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the earth-- A woman will encompass a man." Jeremiah 31:22 NASB emphases added.



Many believe this is only for Israel to come back to God, yet in my studies, I believe it to be a multi-purposed statement to include women of the frontline who give birth now to leadership and bring into the Kingdom of God fresh new ideas. I NOW DECREE THAT:



►Gender prejudice in the Kingdom is over!



God is doing a new thing and will pass you by in the dust if you do not cut lose those old religious binders of the past! Yes women will indeed “encompass men” to give us the understanding of birthing a New Thing as it truly should be taught.



Which of you men can help me explain birthing by your natural experiences? I believe women can! Yes, go ahead and drop those religious stones from your hands and understand that women can Pastor Churches, Run ministries, Pray for the Sick, Cast out religious spirits and cut the heads off the nasty snakes of Leviathan! Come ahead women and take your rightful place in God’s leadership! Old musty devils disguised as God’s leaders will burn in the fires of enemy camps calling themselves righteous in their own eyes. That is also known as “self-righteousness!” Behold, God is doing a NEW THING! We must indeed deal with it now! Call me revolutionary! You are right!



Yes, this is a time the Lord is doing a New Thing in a New Year of 5768, and onwards into the year of 2008 that will literally bring a New Day that will surely stay—a New Birth of God defying human plans!



We are marching to His orders not the plans of man to take new land! This is the real meaning of the Order of the “8” for this year—God’s Forces defying human existence! New Birth, New Land, New Day, New Way and all the old is cut away! The Lord says, “Behold, for I will do a NEW THING!” says the Lord of Host.


Always a Voice for our LORD,

John Mark Pool

Iran Warns of October 'Final Response' to Supporters of Israel
Thursday , September 20, 2007

Iran pledged to deliver a "final reponse" to the U.S and other supporters of Israel during a religious ceremony next month, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported Thursday.

Iranian government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham said the message would be sent on Qods Day, held each year on the last Friday of Ramadan, and would arrive during a visit to the Palestinian territories by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

"The US loses all opportunities to cooperate with regional and other world states by trying to support a regime (the Zionist regime) which is now at its weakest political and social position," Elham said according to IRNA.

Qods Day falls on October 12 this year.

18 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / THE SEASON OF PREPARATION by Dr. John Tetsola 9/20 on: September 20, 2007, 07:59:20 AM
The Season of Preparation
by Dr. John Tetsola


And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
Deuteronomy 8:2

In order to perfect His purposes, God uses time spent in the wilderness as testing ground to reveal our hearts in seasons of preparation for His servants. The wilderness speaks of a barren, lonely, and deserted place bereft of all comforts. It is a place where inner needs become magnified without inner consolation, where prophetic words are put to the test, and where your faith has the potential of being seduced from its allegiance and trust in God. The wilderness is a place that either breeds trust or distrust of the spoken promises of God over your life. It will either make or break your faith. The wilderness was the place and season of preparation where our Lord Jesus could have lost His battle to save all of mankind.

God has never been known to promote giftings. He only promotes character. God is more concerned with the production of our character than He is with our comfort.

This kind of character is not developed overnight, but is developed during seasons of preparation. Many believers have had problems developing past the point of identifying and fulfilling their specific calling in the Lord. Some may identify their call, but then fail to prepare for their ministries. Still others receive their calling and proceed into the preparation period, but fail in the process.

Unfortunately, some believers die in the wilderness at some point in their development because they never surrendered and embraced their season of preparation.

Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?
Song of Solomon 8:5

The ultimate goal of the wilderness is that its attendants come into the place of leaning and "submissive dependence"
upon Jesus, our Beloved. Leaning signifies humble submission to the process of God, while trusting Him for the promised outcome. It is the only acceptable route out of the wilderness, and is proof that we have become pliable to the making process of God. Many believers are going through their wilderness experience and season of preparation right now. The growth and maturity of every believer is decided during these seasons of preparation.

Look at the manufacturing process in a factory and let's draw an analogy. A factory is a place where goods are made with machinery. These products undergo a multifaceted process before the end-product is approved, released, and distributed. This process is known as manufacturing which literally means "to make by hand." The processing step follows. It includes cleaning, cutting, pureeing, dehydrating, persevering, etc. In the processing stage, God begins a character work in us. He begins to expose the impurities in us so that they may be dealt with. Then comes the packaging step. Too often Christians attempt to package themselves without submitting to every level of God's making processes, and they fail to sell. They reach the distribution stage damaged and below acceptable market value because they did not make it through the wilderness-the physical, external, and environmental influences.

God begins His making process with "raw" materials. At each stage in His factory, He works the ingredients with His own hands, investing them with His qualities, grace-given abilities, talents, and anointing. The Master Packager knows when the preparation is complete and made ready to be released to the consumers-the people of God. Allow yourself to go through God's factory, for it is only in His factory where we can be made. While some spurn their season of preparation, we should learn to appreciate it and emerge from our wilderness leaning upon the Lord with newfound faith and deeper levels of trust and dependency upon the Lord.

"Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, I give to you." Arise! Stand! Walk! Arise to your feet! Stand fast on the Word of God! Walk out the plan and purpose of God for your life! Walk in the Spirit of God! Know who you are in Christ! You are greatly blessed, highly favored, and deeply loved! Be successful in every good work! You are a precious child of the Most High God! Your are royalty! You are a child of the KING! AMEN We all (the body of Christ) seem to be 'going through something' right now. But I believe that it is "a test". God is going to use it all to strengthen us (our faith, our determination, and our confidence in Him), so that we will grow in Christ. He is using it to show us where we are, and where there is room for spiritual growth! It has been preparation to "go in and possess the land". HALLELUJAH AMEN Our Father wants us strong, and perfectly equipped, for the road ahead of us, and the territories that He is giving us. He can see what lies ahead but we can't. James 1 Speak God's promises out loud! Speak God's promises over yourself, your family, your home, your business, your employer. Start memorizing more of God's scriptural promises for the times you don't have a Bible handy. When we speak out God's Word from a place of release; when we come to the end of ourselves - our thoughts, plans, natural ways, carnal thinking, and self-will; when we completely empty ourselves out and give everything up to our Father and place it all in His fully capable hands; when we stop trying to make things happen of our own volition; when we finally come to the realization and admission that we can't, but He can; when we come to the place of fully trusting God, and truly calling on Him, expecting Him to answer; when we come to the point where we submit to, and allow Christ Jesus to be LORD in our lives, THEN we will gain the full manifestation of the victory! AMEN Note that this victory was already ours. It has been since Calvary. We simply have to line up with the Word of God to "see" the manifestation! AMEN. That's when we RECEIVE our victory and our deliverance. Giving ourselves to God, consecrating our lives to Christ, allowing the Holy Spirit to sanctify us is our spiritual act of service. Romans 12:1-3 In His Unconditional Love~ Deborah Psalm 19:7-14







22 PROPHECY: / Visions and Dreams / THERE IS A STORM FRONT COMING by Matt Tondra 9/20 on: September 20, 2007, 07:38:49 AM
There is a storm front coming.
Matt Tondra



Hello Everyone,

I feel that the Lord gave me a dream last night, and feel strongly that I should share it here with you. Sharing here is new to me, so first I say hello and God bless; and humbly submit the following for your discernment:

The Dream:

My wife and I were standing by our bedroom window which is on the south side of our home. It was a calm and clear day and I was looking out the window admiring the sky and taking it all in (it always reminds me of how awesome God is!). Then all of the sudden from the East I noticed a horrible, awful, billowing black cloud flying low and toward the West. I remember thinking wow that's odd, I never see clouds coming from the East. As it came closer I got a good look at it, it was so utterly foul it was almost mesmerizing. The cloud seemed alive to me, it felt like pure evil. There was much movement inside of the cloud, as it was swirling and very active. It was so black and thick and moving in such a way it's difficult for me to explain in words. As the cloud passed over the top of our house, I felt in my spirit like it was searching the land for someone to devour and a horrible feeling came over me. I called to my wife "look at this!" because she didn't notice it coming forth. She looked just as the tail of the cloud was passing over us. Then all of the sudden an enormous thunder clap came from the cloud. The power of this clap was like nothing I have ever experienced in my life. Not only was it deafening, the shockwave of the thunder shook us tremendously. At this point I woke up, and felt the presence of God very strongly from within and all around me. But I also felt like an enemy was also near and called out to God to send it away in the name of Jesus.

I got out of bed and went to wash my face, and I was pretty shaken. Then the presence of the Lord became so strong that I had to sit down. So I sat down and prayed that the Lord would reveal the interpretation of the dream. I felt the Lord tell me – just as storms are coming in the natural, so they will also come in the spiritual. Normally you see storms coming from the west to the east. The storm coming the opposite direction means that very soon there will be disarray the likes of which people have never seen before. The storm front is coming, it is almost here. Stay in Me, as it is the only way you can live through it.

In my heart I felt the Spirit saying to me – there will be great spiritual activity in the coming (immediate) days, but much of it will not be from God but from a deceiving spirit. Yes, the Lord will pour out His Spirit upon His chosen vessels, but at first the real versus the fake will be very difficult to discern. So the Lord would say, stay firmly planted on the Rock of Ages. All those who are not planted in our Lord Jesus Christ will fall by the wayside. Those seeking miracles and wondrous signs will have their reward; and many will be deceived…. even the elect. Watch and pray, watch and pray that you would be chosen to escape the deception to come.

I feel that this is from the Lord and felt led to post, but like I said I'm a newbie at this. So please consider this prayerfully as the last thing I ever, ever want to do is lead someone astray with careless words.

Much Love,

Matt

23 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / NIGHT VISION by Ron Hutchcraft 9/20 on: September 20, 2007, 07:34:20 AM
Night Vision
Ron Hutchcraft

Night Vision

Throughout the history of warfare, there has always been those weapons or tools that gave an army an edge. At one time, it was the iron chariot or the catapult. Later, it was the crossbow, and then the latest rifle. While it's not exactly a weapon, there is a new military tool that can give military folks an edge. It's called night goggles, and they help soldiers live up to their reputation for "owning the night." Night goggles literally allow the wearer to see an illuminated view of what's going on in the darkness; things that would otherwise be invisible. If you can see through the night, you can see what others can't see and you can operate when others can't move.

For a long time, God has been equipping folks with the ability to see through the night. You don't even need special goggles. You do need to have a love relationship with God where your heart opens up to things that He wants to show you. And maybe it's nighttime in your life right now. It's gotten pretty dark. It's hard to see where to go, hard to know what to do, and maybe it's pretty scary.

Then you're going to love God's promise of night vision to His children who keep trusting Him. It's in Isaiah 42:16, our word for today from the Word of God. God says, "I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them..." Are you walking down a way you've not known before? Are you headed into an unfamiliar path maybe? Your Lord says, "I will be your night vision."

It gets better. He goes on to say, "I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth." That is awesome! Of course, you have to be walking into the darkness for God to turn the darkness into light. He doesn't say to start walking when He lights up the path. He says to start walking and as you walk, He'll light it up. The rest of His promise concludes: "These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them." I've got to tell you, this promise has meant so much to me that I've committed it to memory. I want to be able to say it; I want to be able to stand on it anywhere, anytime. It's a great verse to make a part of you!

Yes, you may be in a night season right now, but your God owns the night! In fact, that's usually when you can see Him best. Like the moon. As long as it's light, you can only see a pale moon, at best. But when it's dark, that's when you can see the brightness of the moon - or of your Master. Just like the military who get a lot done in the night because they have night vision, your Lord gets a lot done in the nighttimes of our life; often some of His greatest missions.

No matter how dark it is around you right now, your God is able to lead your steps, protect you from all harm, show you where to walk, and enable you to complete your mission, unhindered, undiminished, uncompromised, and undefeated no matter what's out there in the dark. Because, as 1 John 4:4 tells us, "the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

So, don't make the mistake of just trusting what you can see, or trusting what you can feel. You need to know that your Heavenly Father is walking on ahead of you every step of that night you are in. So, keep on walking and keep on trusting. Your Father owns the night!

Portals Of Power

My precious church, I am raising to the surface the spirits of control within My bride, within many churches. I am exposing these controlling spirits and people concerned, so that I may bring a purification to My Church, a great cleansing. For I have purchased great victory for My bride through My death and resurrection at Calvary.

For no spirit is greater than Me, for I am about to demonstrate My victory in a greater way than ever before within My Church. Many have been identifying this spirit at work within many of My churches, but the focus has been too much upon the working of this spirit, tongues speaking forth about this spirit and its workings, and through doing such things, it has brought glory to the work of the enemy, instead of bringing glory to the work of My hand and My Spirit.

Through faithful intercession by My people and My victory the focus of all of My children, a purposeful declaring of My victory, I am going to begin abolishing these spirits of control within the midst of many congregations. For many of you have been praying and praying against these spirits and crying out to Me, about how long must it be before it is broken... I speak to you My Church...that as you declare My victory forth, and repent for the focus upon these spirits, and faithful intercession, these spirits will begin to crumble.

For My Church has been in a season of bondage in the area of 'control' and there has been 'little' movement or shift of this spirit within many places. I am now speaking to you My Bride, that as you follow My instructions, in the places where these 'control' spirits have been, I am going to raise up portals of My power that is going to reach the ends of nations and the eneds of the earth.

For many have looked at these churches that have had these rampant spirits of control and have given up hope, speaking words of death against these churches, but I speak to you My Bride, that through the faithfulful intercession and declaration of saints standing in the gap for these very churches, these are going to be the churches that are going to be raised up by My hand and a new move of My Spirit will pour forth.

For out of these churches that many have left and forgotten, great signs and wonders will pour forth. People will flock from everywhere and other nations, simply to see what I am doing in their midst.

For I love My Bride with a love that none can fathom. I desire a cleansing and purification of My Church more than anyone could fathom. For now is the time for My Church to go to the next level.

I am raising up watchmen that are going to see the works of the enemy from afar, and these watchmen will be so intune with My Spirit that they will begin informing intercessors and My Church of impending attacks before they come, and many things will be diverted because of the prayers of many.

For My Church, through those that are willing to step forward, those who are willing to obey, those who are willing to listen, I am raising you up. Now is the time that I am releasing you in greater power and greater anointing. I am bringing an INCREASE to My Church, for those who have been faithful will indeed be rewarded.

For the times of My Bride being 'hidden' is now over. It is time that My Bride, takes her stand and begins to shine, that she is not like the world, but she is indeed seperated, a holy and chosen nation, and as My Children faithfully obey Me and continue to seek Me in humility and surrender, I will continue to increase the releasing, and My Church will shine brighter than ever before.

These portals of power I will rise up, and I will begin manifesting My power and Glory through them in ways that none has seen...for now is the time for the world to see the move of My power in a way they have not ever imagined. The harvest is about to be reaped in ways that is above and beyond any expectation.

As the harvest comes, continue to raise your hands in worship My Bride, and continue to praise Me, for I am your God and I love you with an everlasting love.

Repent for expectations and thoughts not of Me, and you will make way for more of My Spirit.

I love you My Church....now is the time to arise!!!!

COMPLETELY BRANKRUPT

COMPLETELY BANKRUPT!

What does it mean to be bankrupt? Without means of support, unable to care for ones self, having no money, unable to work, having lost everything you have ever possessed! This implies that you had something to loose. We are all rich, wealthy and have an abundance in the United States and many other countries as well. We Americans eat until we are going to explode. We are a country of lazy, selfish, obsessed people. Even those who are slim and not over weight are lazy and selfish. The greatest darkness that has ever been shadows all we do here. This has been proven over and over to me in having three businesses and having to hire and fire many people over the years. The majority of people are lazy and are looking for a handout. They want someone else to do their work and hand them everything on a silver platter. Now how does this apply to the Christian world? Well, Christians and the Church are no different! The Christian world is stuck in the birth canal, 99.9% of the Christian population is lost. They do not understand at all what it truly means to be born again in Christ. I personally know less than 20 people that have surrendered to Christ to be born again!

The Word clearly says, “If we are born again, we will not commit sin”. We are to be a new man or woman in Christ and our sin nature is dead in Him. Salvation is found for those who are “IN CHRIST JESUS”, not just those who hear the Word of Christ but those who are “hearers” and “doers”. If we do not obey the voice of the Lord when He calls us and speaks His desires in our ears, then He is not our Master. We serve the God of this world!

Thus, the Spirit of the Lord will make us completely bankrupt. He has to empty us, crush us, and remove all the roots of our self-nature! He has to completely bankrupt us of our self-nature. I have seen far more people forsake Jesus Christ for the security of religion and a dead church, than I have ever seen them truly repent, pick up the Cross and follow Jesus. The problem is that the Christian world is bankrupt of the power, love and Spirit of Jesus Christ! I have yet to see on television, hear on the radio, read on the internet or meet in person anyone living today claiming to be an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor or a teacher that has the love of Christ and is practicing what they are preaching. It is about money, pride, greed and how many books or tapes they sold. How many people come to a church or a conference? The last thing we need is more churches, conferences, dances or dinners to puff up our egos. You notice the Lord over the last few months has given me little to say. The reason is that so few want to here the truth about the need to change and to repent for real! It is all a game to people. They believe that Christ and the Father are so merciful that they do not really mean repent or perish! Surely such a loving God will spare everyone! This is such a dark world and the people in it as well. Do you really think that heaven will be full of selfish, hateful people as well?

The Word says that the Father did not even spare the angels who sinned against Him. How much more will He judge us, those who have the Truth to set them free, but ignore the call to repent!

Now it is all about Jesus, the Kingdom of Heaven and the Body of Christ. It is not about you and me! Self-will has to be made bankrupt, void, and non-existent!! Everything evil in this world is accomplished through the self will of men and women! The question is, will you and I give ourselves fully over to Christ so He can finish the work in us to rid us of our worst enemy, “ourselves”? If we think that giving Christ part of our heart or part of our lives is good enough, we will sadly hear “go away, I never knew you”, when we stand before Him. You know that I really do not have much to say anymore, because people in general really do not care about the Cross, salvation, heaven or Jesus Christ but let something bad happen in their lives then they quickly call on Jesus or blame Him for what has happened. People in the western world, many for the most part, are very shallow and self entered.

So the message from heaven in all this is that we are still fleshly yet having found the love of Christ to set us free. We are blind, naked and in need of His healing power. We are lost and need to be found. We have yet to find the love, truth, compassion and mercy that the early Church walked in. Our brothers and sisters of Paul’s days would see us as the lost who were in need of the Messiah Jesus Christ. So let us end with these simple words, “LET US STOP BOASTING OF OUR CHRISTIAN WAYS, LET US START BOWING TO CHRIST SO HE CAN BE FOUND IN US AND US IN HIM!

Spiritual Dream: The Bride
Michele McComas

I had a dream about marriage and specifically "the bride." It was a very spiritual, prophetic dream where God showed me so many things about His church. First, a huge crowd of people entered into this very ornate building. God showed me in the dream that they were more concerned about the architecture, the chandeliers, the wealth, the fixtures, and were bragging on how they were to be part of "the big event." They were talking about how they were going to be in famous pictures and were bragging about how good they were because they were going to be seen at this most ornate place in the presence of gorgeous, wealthy people, the celebration of marriages, etc. Yet all they were concerned about was form, fashion, and being noticed. There was no mention of the author and finisher of their faith- the Lamb Himself, the one who it was about. There were several marriages and in each one the Lord pointed something out:

1. The first few marriages were the typical, fromal, ritualistic marriages where vows were exchanged and the couples were formally married. God showed me, however, that there was no life in these. His vision, His mission, His calling , His passion, His Spirit were nowhere to be found.

2. Then there were couples who were in ministry. Some of the Christians sitting at the side of the church were talking and even gossiping about how "her ministry will soon soar when she marries him (in reference to well known ministries)." There were famous ministers walking down the asile. In the corner a group of women who responded as if the ministry couple was part of a Hollywood event were saying, "she was good before but now they will really be something." God said this second type of marriage is wrong because the couple is still focused on what each can get out of it, not how to glorify the Lord. They were more ministry minded than interested in the author and finisher of their faith.

3. The third round of marriages was the one for which many people rejoiced. There were beautiful women who loked like models marrying handsome men. Everyone talked about how happy and perfect like Prince Charrming and Cinderella they looked , how nothing could separate this dynamic couple. But when I looked up front it was celebrities marrying them, not the Lord. People were joining them- celebrities, stars, society, and for superficial reasons. The pupit and altar were empty and dark. Cameras were going off around the couple but again the author and finisher of our faith was gone.

4. The fourth group was a very ordinary God-fearing coupls who one could tell really desired to serve the Lord and had a good, Godly intention There was a traditional looking minister up front. As their marriage started there was a big crash. A lady came running in stating, "who let all those people run aound and destroy eveything?- Tables were overturned; plants were dumped over; the pictures in the lobby were falling off walls; decorations didn't look so pretty anymore. God showed me that this is the marriage where the couple has good intentions but has let the spirit of distraction keep them away from serving Him. This is very common.

5. The fifth and final marriage then came. I walked down the aisle. This was the most beautiful marriage. No cameras went off. There was no gossip. Many left to where there were only two pews of people remaining versus thousands previously for the first four marriages. I was glowing. All I cared about ws getting to the altar to the author and finisher of my faith. The altar was filled with His glory. The focus was on His presence. There were very few in the sanctuary- in fact, it was almost even empty but the ones there were not focused on me. They were focused on worshipping the Lamb. The ornate structure became a very simple, rectangular room but all the ornateness became centered around the throne of the living God. I met my husband at the front and we met Jesus together. I heard a voice say" this is my bride of Christ." It is not ornate. She does not have a bunch of support from the traditional church at large She is not married based on what the couple can do for each other. She is ot all about image. She is not about her own beauty being glorified. She is not interrupted by distraction. She is born of the Spirit. Then a golden heart appeared on me when I reached the altar. It glowed and shined. People wanted to see it but it wa not removable. In the center it spakled but not as anything like natural diamonds. The shape of the sparkles were little tears.

As I left with my husband no one looked, no one commented. There were no crowds, no worship of the couple. In the lobby of the building people in the traditional mariage were worshipping a picture of a woman. Another wedding group was busy taking pictures and videos. The couple in ministry was passing out business cards and scheduling their next big events. Other couples were kissing and waiting for limos. All I felt was the glory of God as I heard a voice say, "this is my bride."

27 PROPHECY: / Praise and Devotionals / THOUGH HE SLAY ME by Michelle Molina 9/20 on: September 20, 2007, 07:21:05 AM
Though He Slay Me
Michelle Molina
Sep 20 2007 12:12AM


”Faith tells the soul what Christ has done for it, and so comforts it. Hope revives the soul with the news of what Christ will do; both draw at one tap – Christ and His promise."

William Gurnall 1617-1679


THOUGH HE SLAY ME
On a daily basis I hear from people who are faithful to the Lord but are suffering in the midst of great trials. Stories of physical or emotional abuse in marriages, kids on drugs, rape, mental breakdowns and so much more are becoming all too common. I have never heard of so many sufferings among the people of God in all my days of ministry as I hear these days.

At times we all end up in the wilderness. I could write a book on the ones I have personally encountered. Too many believers blame these periods of wilderness as coming from the devil. It seems few want to accept trials of any kind as inevitable for us all. The Bible tells us clearly that even the godliest among us have endured great sufferings. We know that these times, when they come into our lives, will change us – for better or worse, so why do we resist faith and trust in God in the seasons of personal trial? Why do we only crave the seasons of rest and comfort? It's the trials that are good for our faith - when applied properly,though our flesh prefers seasons of basking in warmth of the sun and pampering rather than crucifixion.

Consider Job. Personally, I would like to forget him at times, but his testimony is valuable for all generations and for Christians at all levels of growth or maturity. Job was a holy man. God's own testimony of him is that he was completely righteous, yet he suffered much loss and pain...FOR A PURPOSE.

God stood back and allowed Job's own children to be killed in a bizarre accident. He lost all of his livestock so he could no longer offer sacrifices (which was his act of worship) to God. He even lost his health.

B
