"The Joy of The Lord is Our Strength"

Our Joy, our ability to laugh in the face of difficulties, our ability to smile in the midst of tragedy and have peace beyond human comprehension even though our past has been filled with great adversity gives attention to our Holy Father who is the only one that can successfully fill such a void of happiness.
Throughout Scriptures, there is a continual mention of joy, which is, of course the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
When we are in the presence of the Lord, there is fullness of joy!
Joy is also the result of a life that is in "sincere" inward order with God and has experienced His great salvation. Laughter is recorded in the Bible as the natural expression of joy or victory. Peace is a gift from God that few enjoy..
It is important to accept that many people display joy differently than others, there are some that are shouting and praising God jumping up and down and yet are depressed and suffer from no inside peace, yet there are many children of God who remain silenced, quiet yet they have sincere and pure P E A C E, pure J O Y, ..true L O V E and C O N T E N T M E N T in their heart, yet quiet as a mouse.
Don't let a person fool you, who wears a cosmetic smile..LISTEN to their every word and hear what they say. I was not so long ago in a so called place of worship, as I sat quietly I heard four different conversations going on before the service bagan, each converstation was gossip about others in their church membership, oh the stories I can tell you I heard...and then when the music began their hands went up and they started praising and worshiping God, as I sat and read scripture while the surrounding groups of people chatted about sue, joe, john and sally......God spoke to my heart, BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!.......how sad that satan blinds those into thinking that their phony praise should fool God, He knows the heart of every man and sees the sincere love and heart desire of those who speak to Him..
........Be encouraged that individuals are lead to holiness in love living in a intimate relationship and faithful involvement in every area of ones life, it just may be a personal and private matter for you, listen to God's voice only, let Him lead you... Your blessed life with a God that remains faithful to those who serve him.
People are touched by God in many different ways. If we were all exactly alike and praised and prayed exactly alike this world would be a stepford world filled with puppets in stead of God's molded clay to individually display His great master pieces in each of us.
Let the goodness of God and his divinely inspired work in each of us prevail, know that He is in control of our lives he lets us shine in the light of His greatness. As we are made in the image of God, we should not think it strange when we each manifest differently yet all having great "joyful expressions and the fullness of God's grace and glory, outward or inward it is still with one God & Lord alone.
Psalm 3:8
From the LORD comes deliverance
May your blessing be on your people
And every time she opened her mouth there was a manifestation of God's power and provision.
A M E N
"A NEW ERA--WE HAVE ENTERED A SEASON WHERE IT IS TIME TO RECEIVE"
Oftentimes we restrict God because of foolish traditions and "fables"
In 2 Peter 1:16-18 it says, "For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: 'This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased' and we heard this voice which came from Heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain, and so we have the prophetic word confirmed...."
Amazingly, Peter, James and John based their entire expose' upon a word that they overheard given to Christ on a mountain and in the presence of two other Heavenly witnesses, Elijah and Moses. They didn't go back and compare notes with others but simply believed what they heard. How refreshing! In this day and age, most people question their "hearing" because they fear religious retaliation. Proverbs 29:25 states that the fear of man is a snare, and once you are ensnared by it, you will never hear God.
Even though we, as spiritual leaders, are aware of the dangers of anyone just simply "hearing" a voice and then claiming that it's God, it is equally as dangerous to forbid God's people from telling what they heard. If it wasn't God, they will eventually learn. There is no way that we can stop God from speaking to His people (and others) directly or indirectly. Who are we to be the ones to decide what is God and what is not, unless it is entirely unscriptural and outside of the revealed character of God? We can teach them to judge what they hear, based on the Scriptures and give them guidelines, but to forbid them and place them in fear of being "stoned" is ridiculous. That is control.
I was reading recently in Isaiah regarding the spider, which in this context is a most suggestive picture of the hypocrite's religion. It is meant to catch its prey.
Spider's Web
Isaiah 59:5, "They hatch vipers' eggs and they weave the spiders web."
The spider fattens himself on flies, and the Pharisee has his reward. Philip baptized Simon Magus, whose guileful declaration of faith was soon exploded by the stern rebuke of Peter. We have to watch out for the flies that are easily entrapped by the loud professions of pretenders. Custom, reputation, praise, advancement and other flies are the small game, which hypocrites take in their nets. The great preacher Charles Spurgeon writes about this subject so adequately that I have to quote:
"A spider's web is a marvel of skill; look at it and admire the cunning hunter's wiles. Is not a deceiver's religion equally wonderful? A spider's web comes all from the creature's own bowels. The bee gathers her wax from flowers, the spider sucks no flowers, and yet she spins out her material to any length. Even so, hypocrites find their trust and hope within themselves; their anchor was forged on their own anvil, and their cable twisted by their own hands. They lay their own foundation, and hew out the pillars of their own house, disdaining to be debtors to the sovereign grace of God. But a spider's web is very frail. It is curiously wrought, but not enduringly manufactured. It is no match for the servant's broom, or the traveler's staff. Such cobwebs are not endured in the Lord's house."
If you read John 15, which is one of my favorite chapters in the New Testament, you will see that Jesus deals with His disciples with tremendous openness, love and trust. John 15:14-16 says, "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. (This represents present and future--after His resurrection). No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what His master is doing, but I have called you friends for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain...."
I want you to notice a few things about our Lord and His manner and attitude toward His followers. Obviously, after His death, Christ would still be communicating with His disciples, and their ongoing obedience to His commands ensured this intimate "friendship." This meant that He would be communicating with them until they died. Why would we find this strange today? When we suggest that GOD is not speaking to us today, and some even discourage it, we are avoiding something beautiful developing in these precious followers--obedience and a growing friendship with Jesus Christ. Jesus' commandments in the Scriptures are one thing, but to "do whatever He commands us" is different. After the resurrection, Jesus spoke to Saul while he was on his way to jail Christians.
Acts 26:14-15, "And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' So I said, 'Who are You Lord?' And He said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.'" Paul clearly heard the voice of God and obeyed, thus drawing him into a special relationship with Christ, to the point of him writing three-quarters of the New Testament.
He commanded Paul in Acts 22:17-18, "Now it happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance and saw Him saying to me, 'Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.'"
Continual communication equals continual obedience (or disobedience) and progressive intimate friendship and trust. Why would anyone want to steal this from a follower of Christ? And yet the blind rulers in "Christian" churches would punish anyone who gets close to hearing God for fear that they would make a mistake and bring shame to the Kingdom of God. The word "friend" in Greek is "phileos" and "philogos", which means "someone to talk to." God's desire is not only that we have someone to talk to, but also that He has someone to talk to. Jesus said to His disciples in John 15:3, "You are already clean because of the words which I have spoken to you."
"My Sheep Hear My Voice"
Jesus said in John 10:27, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me." Christ is walking on the earth today in a different way, but needs His sheep to hear His voice in order to accomplish His will.
Most people think that it's so easy for me to hear God and that there is never a battle. Let me share a story with you:
During the early part of 2007, God began to deal with me regarding signs that He was sending to the earth through the disruption of weather patterns. (You can read about these on my website.) God had spoken to me about the fact that this would work in favor of His people and specifically how the weather manifestations in the USA, would be a sign of the dawning of a great spiritual era. The challenge to anyone in my position is to be sure that this is, in fact, God saying these things and, so, there is a reservation but not a fear of man. I don't care what men say about me and if I did, I would never have prophesied the many things that have come to pass.
I had a spiritual regurgitation of this prophetic word, and I use the word "regurgitate" because that's the best way to explain what happens when a prophetic word is given. My wife, Jane, has a love for birds and parrots in general, and there is a procedure that takes place between the baby and the mother that is quite disgusting, but it has a lesson in it--regurgitation. The birds feed their young by regurgitating what they have already swallowed.
When I prophesy, I feel like I've eaten the words that have been given to me by God, and only then can I bring them up for the nourishment of the people. Excuse the analogy, but this is the best way to describe this highly spiritual experience. Jesus has fed or given His words to me, I have taken them in, completely swallowed them and then given back. These words have almost completely become part of my entire being. The words that God gives us are not for our nourishment only, but to feed others as well. If you keep it for yourself, corruption will set in and you will be consumed by pride and haughtiness.
Aside from the fact that we have seen these signs in the form of waters being poured from the Heaven in the South, fires in the middle of the nation and the West Coast, and a tornado in the Northeast, I have also prophesied that there would be three earthquakes in the USA. When I prophesied this, God showed me that there were a few weather manifestations that meant something spiritually. Water from the Heavens--outpouring of many great spiritual blessings--showers--various kinds of blessings. Fire on the earth--purging and cleansing--restoration. Wind in the east of the USA--spiritual breath and cleansing.
The three earthquakes were also to be a sign of blessings to come and not judgment. Why shake the earth? God said that it would be a sign that the powers of hell beneath the earth and beneath our feet were shaken and rendered hopeless as we positioned ourselves spiritually and used our authority. Three different principalities would be shaken.
I live in California now. Recently as I was just fallen asleep, I heard my wife Jane say, "Earthquake, earthquake!" I felt the results of a 4.6 magnitude earthquake that started just a few miles away from my house. There was a feeling of peace in my heart as the earth shook and my son came running into my room and said, "Dad, why did you prophesy an earthquake now that we live in California?!" We all sat together and discussed the power that God has to manifest Himself through the elements and how He could tell us before it happened and the reason.
It is A New Era--A New Season
You are the prophetic people who have access to events before they happen simply because you stand with me and support the future. It is my privilege to constantly pray and seek God as I travel and minister for Him to feed me His words so that many will ultimately receive Yeshua into their lives.
I want to share something with you and even though you have been faithful in your financial support, I pray that this month you would add something special in your offering. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT TIME FOR THE PROPHET TO BE HEARD. There is a huge battle going on in the political and spiritual realm and especially towards the Jewish people in the USA. God has equipped me with so many prophetic words that are coming to pass before our very eyes every day. Even in my prayer chamber recently, I heard something that shook me, and I will be ministering it in the next few meetings as He gives me freedom to utter it.
During the time of Elisha, while he was ministering to the Syrian Commander, Naaman, a powerful leader that was stricken with leprosy, Elisha refused an enormous financial gift from the Commander and asked the question, "Is it time to receive money...?" Of course, the answer was no. 2 Kings 5:26 tells us that Elisha knew that there were times in the prophet's ministry when he would not be receiving, and then there would be times when he would.
My ministry has been through a season of sowing. Over the past few months, my ministry team and I have taken to the streets, and this past outreach in Beverly Hills was one of the biggest steps of faith ever. The show is presently being broadcast throughout the earth, but even more importantly, many influential lives were touched, and names that many of you would be familiar with, gave their lives to Christ that night. Throughout the summer, we have been sowing, and it has not been so much a time to receive, but was a time to give.
Now we have entered a season where it is time to "receive." I encourage you to give during this season. It is important that you act now because one of the words that God gave me was that the month of October was going to bring about an abundance of favor, favor, favor! Things that were shut tight to you and the people of God would suddenly fly open! It is important to give while the word is present because in so doing, God will favor you abundantly the minute the season of receiving starts. It is not only time for the prophet to receive, but my dear friend, FOR YOU.
With love and prayers for His reward in your life,

and it will not be sealed again.
For this is the Hour that I have unrolled, and I have unfolded My Hand,
and you will now understand. You will now understand what I have written
for your land. You will understand what I have decreed that you will
walk in, and that you will be. For Children, this is a new chapter. And
I have released the next phase. And I have shown you the portion that
now descends. The scroll is unrolled, and I say, read. Read, read, read,

what My Word will say. For My Word is written, and as My Word is
written, it shall be as I have decreed. For I have written My Word, and
My Son said, it is written, and it became.

that will fulfill, that will fulfill the Word. And I am your God, and
what I have said, I will do. For My Word is true. My Word is true. My

instructions. I will give you detailed instructions. I will open the
scroll that I am writing upon and you will look at it, you will
understand. You will not say, Lord, interpret this. You will say, thus
saith the Lord. For as you look upon it, it will be birthed in you, and
it will come out of you. For I have fashioned My Word, and you are ready
to release it.

you not understand? The sickle is in your hands. The sickle is in your
hands. My Word has gone forth. And My Word is being accomplished, and I
am moving quickly to reap My Harvest. I am moving quickly, and My Spirit
is converging. And you will gather in your council's. And you will
gather in your converging's. And you will gather, and you will merge
into one man. For I said it is through one man, through My Body, that I
will move through the earth.
I will move by My Spirit. For My Horn is in the earth. My Horn is in the
earth. My Horn comes because I am in the earth. Know and see, the word
that has been written and that has been decreed. Oh, the enemy has their
horns, and I have Mine. I have Mine. I have Mine. And this is My Time.
And this is My Hour, when I am coming with demonstrations of My Power.
Get ready, and read My Word! For it will surely unfold as you have
heard.

Use Your Authority Over Bird Flu
by Sandy Warner
www.thequickenedword.com
RHEMA 6/15/07 USE YOUR AUTHORITY OVER BIRD FLU
HEARD: Second chance. Bird flu. Pandemic. Watch your step. Make the right choice. Live. Ruling and reigning, it’s a must. Use your authority, take your rod.
DECLARATION: Lord, we speak forth life, and health and blessing upon the birds - the fowls of the air... And we declare they are good. We release them from the curse of plague and loose them to life. We release them to live and not die...to be blessed and not cursed.
Lord we ask that You will put a stop to the bird flu and place a boundary that it not passover to humans. We ask for Your mercy to cover our sins and set us free from the demonic plans of death and destruction, in Jesus Name. We ask that You will draw Your people to repent, pray and begin to make positive decrees over our world.
Gen 1:20-23 NKJV
Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens." 21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying,"Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." 23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Ps 8:4-8 NKJV
What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen — Even the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas.
Acts 10:11-16 NKJV
...and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." 14 But Peter said, "Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean." 15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed you must not call common." 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.
7 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns 10/22 on: Today at 07:42:53am
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns - - October 22, 2007: The enemy is on the rampage and is trying to find open doors by activating your flesh to create contention and division. Refuse to entertain this antichrist spirit. Do not yield to this attack even for a moment. Stand strong in unity and refuse to allow the devil to use you as a pawn in his strategy to bring ruin. Let love reign and be the force that overcomes. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good, says the Lord. 1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."
8 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / THE TRUMPET by Bill Burns 10/22 on: Today at 07:41:38am
The Trumpet by Bill Burns -- October 22, 2007: I am about to send you on a new journey, and I do not want the things that I have said to you in the past to hold you in restriction because of your past understanding. Now you need to move beyond where you have become settled and into the unknown. I am about to reveal to you the work that I have been doing in your heart. I do not want this new work to be restrained by any past spiritual knowledge or experience. You will be inclined to limit this new work by some aspect of your understanding or your thinking. In order to gain spiritual perspective, however, you might need to go back to rediscover the ancient paths that you have walked upon. And, in this process of rediscovery you will find some things that I have taught you that you did not come to realization about. As you journey back I will show you places of victory and places of defeat, places of testing and trials. You will gain new understanding of the present work that I am doing because some of those areas of failure will now become points of victory. Along those ancient pathways the revelation of truth will come in new light, and you will be able to progress into this new day. Please heed this warning, however. If in your looking back you revisit the graveyard of regret, do not stop and re-establish a memorial. Leave it there and keep moving forward. You will find that the very thing you are now struggling with is exactly what you prayed for some time ago but have forgotten. Examine for a moment what you have asked Me to do, says the Lord. Didn't you ask Me to create in you a clean heart? Isn't that what is occurring now? I am currently moving in that dimension to answer your prayer.
1 Peter 5:10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

10 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / AWAKEN TO LIGHT by Diane M. Hale 10/22 on: Today at 07:34:41am
Awaken to Light
Rev. Diane M. Hale
Oct 22 2007 06:00AM
"You are sons of light and sons of the day…" [1 Thessalonians 5:5]
We were all the way to the depth of the mountain [on the inside] listening as our guide shared about the process of mining for gold! Suddenly as an example of working conditions in the past we were plunged into thick darkness. Our guide had warned us and I must admit I had grabbed my sisters hand seconds before the light went out—I don't like the dark!
Just last week I had a late night call—a young woman, mind blown, life shattered came to the rehab house seeking shelter. As I walked in and saw the shell of life ravished by the effects of drug addiction I heard the whisper—it's dark and I can't get out of the dark! Thank God for the Light of His presence that caused the darkness to flee, demons to be bound and the horrors of darkness to vanish. This young woman was delivered and restored by the Light and Grace of God. Hallelujah!
"We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do. But let us watch and be sober" It doesn't take the flip of the switch to cause darkness—it only takes the absence of Light!
People of God…"…become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life…" Someone needs the light you have—awaken to the Light and shine for His Glory!

Sometimes, when we get into trouble, it would be good to look back and examine how we got into that place. At the same time, when the Lord is blessing us abundantly it is equally good to praise Him, because He is rewarding us for following His ways and principles. This has nothing to do with pride, but with the realization that A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7 We are always in the midst of a battle between our sinful nature and the Spirit within us. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. Galatians 5:17 Instead of blaming God for some of the messes we have gotten ourselves into, it is good to take a hard look at ourselves, whether we followed the Spirit or our own desires. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Galatians 6:8 It is all very logical, actually. If you walk in mud, you will get muddy, if you walk in purity, you will stay clean. Any time you walk in sin, you will reap a sinful situation and any time you walk in Gods principles, you will reap Gods favor. This principle does not change because your situation is more difficult than others. Instead, like gravity, it works every time. I am not saying that all trouble is your fault, for this is dealing only with those troubles that have been brought on by your own sin. The good thing is, that we are not helplessly given over to these trials and tribulations, but have a big say which ones are from our own sin, satans doing or a situation God allows to help us grow in maturity. If they are our own doing, we can repent and do it Gods way. If they are from satan, we have been given authority in the Name of Jesus to tell him to get lost. If they are allowed by God we look at them closely and ask what it is He wants us to learn from it. No, in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
