Cry Mercy
Hear, Oh Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. Let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins. I ask in Jesus name. Amen and amen.
The Lord God says:
Isaiah 1:12-20 Amp.
12 Bring no more offerings of vanity (emptiness, falsity, vainglory, and futility); [your hollow offering of] incense is an abomination to Me; the New Moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure--[it is] iniquity and profanation, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your New Moon festivals and your [hypocritical] appointed feasts My soul hates. They are an oppressive burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 And when you spread forth your hands [in prayer, imploring help], I will hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood!
16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do right! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
We must cry mercy. Time is short. We must cry mercy for our sins are many. Cry mercy, for we are a rebellious and difficult people.
Cry mercy for our nation.
Cry mercy for those who are sick and alone.
Cry mercy so we may be delivered from our sins.
Cry mercy so that none will be deceived any longer.
Cry mercy for our neighbors.
Cry mercy for our families, our children, our grandchildren.
James 2:13 Amp.
13 For to him who has shown no mercy the judgment [will be] merciless, but mercy [full of glad confidence] exults victoriously over judgment.
God spoke to me so clearly that the time is short. He is sick and tired of our assembling together only to seek personal gain. He is finished with our religious traditions. He seeks a people with a heart which is truly seeking after Him.
We must examine our own lives to find the inner depth of sin that might be hiding behind our good works. Lord God, have mercy on us.
Matthew 5:7 KJV
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Are you extending mercy to others when they do you wrong? We must not try to get even, we must show mercy to those who are blind to the truth. Cry mercy.
2 PROPHECY: / Praise and Devotionals / FAITH by Mark Stephens 12/2 on: Today at 06:07:18am
FAITH
Pastor Mark Stephens
Dec 2 2007 12:00AM
FAITH
The Bible says that as born again believers we can possess the mind of Christ. Because we possess the mind of Christ we should look upon faith exactly the same way Jesus does. Much has been said in recent years in an attempt to categorize and legalistically define faith. We all have heard sermon on top of sermons describing faith. You’ve probably heard or read some teaching that I have done on faith. However, let us take it apart and look at it from the eyes of Jesus with the mind of Christ.
If we were to make one simple, uncomplicated sentence describing faith, it would have to simply be that “Faith is simply receiving what God has for you.” Think about that for a while we continue this teaching. Let your mind expand and go into all different directions to see if that does not really cover all that faith is. Faith is just having enough trust in God to believe everything He says. If you believe what God says, then you will be able to receive what He has for you.
Faith is not something that can be conjured up, nor can it be emotionalized to a point where it becomes an effective kind of faith. Emotionalism will oftentimes cause us to cross over into the area of presumption rather than allowing our own faith to develop and become strong.
The times in our lives when our faith has been the very strongest have not been a super-hyperventilating time when we were sitting with a group of believers and begging and pleading with God for more faith. No, the greatest moments of our faith have been in the quiet solitude and constant knowledge and unquestioning belief that God is going to do what He says He will do.
Real faith is never something that is worked up. If you are honestly operating in faith, it will be a solid, constant, abiding calmness, joy, and peach that permeates your very being to the degree that there is no room left at all in your mind for any doubt or unbelief.
Doubt and unbelief are both the opposite of faith. When we allow questions to come in, such as: “Is this really God’s will? Is God going to do it? Am I really going to come out of this situation?”, we are allowing doubts to come in which cause us to operate on the negative side of faith.
Now let’s see what the Word of God has to say about this matter. Jesus spoke about this in Matthew 8:5-13. To save space, I’m going to trust that you will read that passage on your own, but I will touch on specific verses in this teaching. Verse 7 says, “I will come and heal him.” Then again in verse 10: “Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no not in Israel.” Jesus was commenting on this centurions faith simply because he did not have to have a show of Jesus. He did not demand and command and say, ”Now Jesus, you drop whatever you are doing and come down and touch my servant.” He had so much faith in the ability of God to perform through His Son, Jesus Christ that he very calmly said, “You don’t even have to go. Just speak the word and it will be accomplished.”
Seek God and faith will come easily.
The outstanding quality shown by the centurion is the fact that he had an unwavering, undiluted, pure kind of faith. There was no doubt, no unbelief, no questioning, no nothing except simple faith.
Jesus said to him, ‘As you have believed.” The word “believed” covers a multitude of answers and non-answers to prayer because many people have tried to generate faith and have tried to confess faith instead of just receiving and believing what God has for them.
Since we possess the mind of Christ, how do we get our mind into a position where it will be capable of receiving the very thoughts of God? Jesus never questioned the mind of His Father. Jesus never questioned the ability of His Father. Jesus never questioned the desire of His Father. He just believed His Father, and was determined to do all His Father sent Him to earth to accomplish. It was not simply he fact that the centurion made the statement, but he believed what he said. Many times we think we are stepping out in faith, but we don’t really believe; we are just hoping that something good is going to happen.
Mark 4:37-41 tells us about the great storm that arose when the disciples were in the boat with Jesus. The very first thing they said when the storm came up was, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” Jesus came right back at them and said, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have not faith?”
Jesus told His disciples very plainly that they did not have any faith, because they were fearful when the problem arose. The same thing is true with us today. If we really believe that we posses the mind of Christ, we are not going to be fearful in times of storms, distress or troubles.
Notice that the man with the sick servant had no feelings of panic saying, “You’ve got to come right now. If you don’t, he will die.” He was very calm and said, “Speak a word and my servant will be healed.” However, fear, which is the opposite of faith, immediately came into the disciples. Those two circumstances are wonderful examples of what happens when you believe and when you don’t.
Jesus had a lot to say about unbelief to His disciples. Matthew 17:14-21 is a good example of this. A man had come to Jesus with an epileptic son and told Jesus that he had brought him to the disciples but they could not cure him. Jesus rebuked the demon and he came out of him, and the child was cured. Then the disciples asked, “Why could we not cast him out?” Jesus said, “Because of your unbelief.”
Unbelief and faith are two absolute opposites, and Jesus never had any unbelief in His mind, His heart, or His Spirit. But then look at what Jesus said. He did not say, “If you had great big faith, you could have done it.” He simply said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”
Jesus is not saying to us that because we possess His mind we are going to be possessed of great faith. He simply says, “Have that little bit of faith which has no room for doubt and unbelief.”
One of the most exciting examples in the Bible where faith is concerned is the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Think of their simple faith when they replied to Nebuchadnezzar’s question, “But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the God who will deliver you from my hands?” Check out their answer. “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.” Then look at what they also said, “But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up” (Daniel 3:15-18).
Many times to prove that we have “hyper-faith” we go out into an area where we think we are putting God on a spot so He will have to do what we want. Often we are merely showing off a lack of faith.
Jesus healed a mute in Mark 7:31-37 “And they were astonished beyond measure, saying he has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
Doing the same things Jesus did while He was on earth for the glory of God is a 21st Century example of possessing the mind of Christ! He is alive!
Faith is a growing process. It is not a “jump in and I’ve got it all” situation. It is a process of development and every problem we face and overcome is a step in the right direction so our faith will be able to be more like Jesus’!
The exciting thing about the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is that their faith never wavered. They didn’t have to question whether or not God was going to do it; they knew beyond a shadow of a doubt. But notice that once their decision was made to trust God even to giving their life if necessary, they moved into the seemingly impossible situation with total confidence in God. They never stopped to think, “It doesn’t seem to be working!” They walked into the fiery furnace of instant death in the natural but they kept on walking!
There are many times when we say we belief and yet, in our hearts, we know good and well we do not. Immature Christians quote faith, but in their hearts do not believe it at all. God has a secret way of looking within the very depths of our heart to know whether or not we actually believe or whether we are just speaking words. He wants us to trust Him and He is glorified when we do.
If we would only uncomplicated faith, if we will just try to take out all of the super-hyped faith confessions and get back to a simplicity in faith, we would be a lot better off.
One of the greatest types of faith you can have is faith in the knowledge that you have heard God whether it is for a little thing or a big thing. God may be wanting a little thing in your life at this exact moment yet in the ego trap we often fall, we may want a bigger thing than God has planned for us at that moment for which we are ready. It is really a question of trusting the fact that you are able to hear God in every little area of your life.
Sometimes the choice we make is not a big decision requiring a lot of faith, but it is just the knowledge that we are hearing from God.
We need to listen to God more instead of asking God for more. People can get involved in programs or projects, which are a desire of the flesh thinking, “I would like to have a big ministry. I would like to have a big church building. I would like to have this or that” and feel that it is in accordance with God’s will instead of listening to God to tell them what to do. If we let God tell us what to do, then we can always rest assured that we will be successful. If we have to constantly know on the door of the throne room of God begging, crying and pleading we are actually trying to force God to do what we want Him to. There is a very fine line in the area of faith in this respect and it is so important for us to learn to listen to those little things of God. It takes as much faith to hear God in the little things as it does in the big things.
One of the things you will discover if you listen to God is that the things you accomplish will be for His glory and not your own. That is always a good test as to whether or not it is you or God. If you are dead to self, the desire of your heart will be to please God; if you are not dead to self, the desire of your heart will be to please yourself. If we check our motives, it is easy to discover what faith really is and how simple it is to operate in complete faith at all times
Big faith is wanting to please God. Think about that. There is tremendous truth in statement.
Why did Jesus have so much faith? Because He wanted to please God.

New Gates, New Seasons!
by John Mark Pool
www.wordtotheworldministries.org
“Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to see the tomb. 2) Suddenly there was a great earthquake, because an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled aside the stone and sat on it.” Matthew 28:1-2 NLT emphases added.
Jesus' resurrection fulfilled God's purpose and Jesus' prophecy. The resurrection gave Christ's followers joy and eagerness to testify. Religious leaders used fake testimony to discount the resurrection just as they used false witness to convict Jesus and sentence Him to the cross. When you go into your spiritual “new day” be assured that the enemy will be crouched at your door to steal the new season with God.
Nonetheless, one thing the devil could not steal is the New Gate of the Door of the Resurrection of an empty tomb. Jesus could have rolled the door away with only a breath, however He allowed the angels upon assignment to roll away the stone of the devil’s plan. That new door is the greatest opening for the world to become transformed into His New Kingdom in this earth as it is in the heaven He has abode for eternity!
Then enemy will always try to steal the new seasons. The enemy is only here to kill, steal and destroy. We must come to understand that early in our walk with the Lord and deal with it. When Christ came forth through this new Gate of Eternal Salvation of a risen Savior, we win forever!
The enemy does not predict your future and cannot steal your new day and new gate if you stay in the covering of the new mantle of the Lord. In Christ the solid rock I stand, all else is sinking sand, the old hymn declares! That is so very true in our walk of victory in this new day with a new gate before us!
We serve a risen savior who has already defeated the enemy of our world! We are the rightful Kingdom dominion key carriers who must take our God-given authority to a new level of completion in 2008! This is a Year of 2008-A NEW GATE and a NEW “GAIT” (Step) with the Lord!
Jesus Christ gave us the best New Door for the world to now see through His prophetic Body of Christ! Let us come together in the unity of the Body of Christ so we may in unison become “The Prophet” to decree Jesus into a desperate nation! We now are moving into 2008, a year of NEW GATES—NEW SEASONS!
Always a Voice for Our Lord,

4 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / FISHING IN THE SPIRIT by Ron McGatlin 12/2 on: Today at 06:04:07am
Finishing In The Spirit
by Ron McGatlin
(Personal Note: I want to clarify the note at the beginning of my last article. I have received more than a few inquiries asking about my health and wondering if I was checking out real soon. When I reread it, I can see why.
To any who may be concerned, I am not ailing. I have passed through many fires and endured some major attacks over the past 20+ years of proclaiming the real kingdom and 50+ years total of seeking to serve Him, including 30+ years in religion. I will be 75 in March, am blessed, and in good health. I praise God for all you who stand with me.
The urgency of the message stems from the fact that God has personally let me know that I will not have to endure the worst of the extremely severe season ahead of us. That means my time to be able to get the further word of the kingdom to the people in person will be ended at some point. We sure want to finish the course that He has given us to accomplish.
All that said, I do need and sincerely appreciate your prayers for strength and well being. I have surely come through many attacks in the past victoriously due to the agreement and prayers of friends and fellow kingdom people.)
Walking In The Spirit
Apart from walking in the Spirit there is no kingdom of heaven on earth.
Walking in the Spirit is very different from walking in the natural mind. When we walk in the Spirit, all of our views of life are permeated with the essence of the spiritual kingdom of heaven . Life definitions and relationships are changed from the natural to the spiritual when we walk in the Spirit.
To walk in the Spirit is to walk in the eternal reality of life as one with God. This changes perspective of all life and negates the imposed order of natural fallen world life and laws of regulation. The limitations of biblical external law is removed, and the presence of God’’s Spirit life guides and rules those who walk in the Spirit.
Gal 5:16: I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:18: But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Gal 5:22: 23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
God-given biblical instructions and laws were given to establish characteristics and order of natural life structure as a replica of the spiritual or heavenly in the setting of this fallen world. When the real comes, it replaces the replica. Walking in the Spirit in the kingdom of God is the real. Obeying biblical law establishes the replica and is vital for training and for maintaining order for not yet mature spiritual people in a fallen world. Also, it is God’’s desire that man’s governmental laws represent the biblical laws given for the well-being of people in a fallen world.
2 Tim 3:16: All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
Biblical instruction in part speaks to correct the natural fallen life functions in which we live, especially the need to exercise order of function in a people only partially transitioned from the natural fallen world lifestyle to the heavenly kingdom lifestyle. In other words, some scripture speaks to bringing temporary order to the natural man. Other scripture speaks to establishing and maintaining spiritual life in man. It is important that we recognize that Christian religion is a valid attempt to establish biblical rule in a fallen world. In its pure form the Christian religion has been and remains a valuable structure to teach godly order and rules. It’s like it is saying, this is what life is supposed to look like. It holds up a picture of biblical law and traditions that brings training and correction to man who is not yet fully walking in the Spirit.
Rom 8:3: For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Walking in the Spirit fulfills the law.
The relationship of walking in the Spirit of God more than fulfills the picture painted by biblical instructional law. The pure love of God within guides and empowers us into obedience in the Spirit which causes our every movement to be in alignment with Father. By the Holy Spirit, Christ abides within with the Father bringing obedience and negating the need for external law or religion.
John 14:10: "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
John 17:21: "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us,...
Rom 8:1-2: There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Walk in the Spirit and life is no longer a matter of the law of sin and death. Many of the biblical precepts of instructions pertaining to life order are not applicable to mature sons walking in the Spirit because the Spirit will fulfill the replica with the real. Relationships between people on earth change when walking in the Spirit. The resurrection life of Christ is within the being of individuals who are walking in the Spirit. Through the death of our old self life and receiving the resurrected life of Christ by the Spirit we no longer live, but Christ lives in our beings.
Gal 2:1920: "For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Christ within us is not restrained or constrained by law. His limitless love, holiness, and power will not offend the law in any way but more than fulfills biblical law. Spiritual principles written in the Bible are the same for everyone and at all times. Precepts written in the Bible may be instructional law given to correct or restrain natural people who are not yet fully walking in the Spirit. These precepts will not be the same for all people at all times and therefore must not be applied as principles to all people at all times.
In the Spirit there is no distinction between Jew or Greek, bond-servant or free, and no distinction between male and female. Paul's clear words calling for restraint for women in the church meetings are precepts and not principles as are scriptures that deal with distinction of Jews from Gentiles. Walking in the Spirit changes relationships on earth to those of heaven. Walking in the natural there are distinctions. Walking in the Spirit there are not class, gender, or ethnical distinctions.
We need to gain a real revelation of what walking in the Spirit really means in practical living.
Much very devastating erroneous teaching is being perpetrated today by deceived people through a shallow interpretation of walking in the Spirit. Without true repentance and experiencing our personal cross of death to the old fallen-world self life, there is no walk in the Spirit and therefore no kingdom of God lifestyle. The false teachings make us believe that we are all free from the law of sin and death even while we continue to walk in the flesh and deny the Holy Spirit access to bring the full kingship of Christ to completely rule in our life and being.
Wake up! There must be some consideration given to the results of entering into covenant with the living God and then breaking that covenant. Do not be deceived, holy righteous people live righteously.
1 John 3:7:8: Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
It is the pure, holy love of God as written in the Bible, demonstrated in Christ Jesus and brought to us by the Holy Spirit that brings us to real repentance and a broken heart for our foolish, sinful, self-focused life. In real brokenness we feel the pain that our foolishness has caused our loving Father. We have traded the provision of God’s love and His beautiful ways of life and peace for a paltry season of fleshly, sinful self-indulgence.
Mat 4:17: From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Sin is rebellion against the beautiful provisions of a loving Father who longs for our pure affection and childlike obedience of alignment with Him in the kingdom of God lifestyle. Walking in the Spirit is living in the eternal heavenly state now in this life. It is the kingdom of heaven lifestyle.
Finishing Our Course In The Spirit
We are not a generation unto ourselves but rather a link in a long chain of the history (His-story) of man. Especially from Abraham forward "His story" has been about having a holy people who will unreservedly seek Him and His holy city. (Hebrews 11) Today we are closer than the links before us to the reality of a remnant of holy people reaching the holy city of New Jerusalem. As sent ones with a purpose, we must complete our course and establish our link to the next link in the kingdom of God on earth. Our link has seen the first return of the widespread preaching of the kingdom of God since the first century. The great mystery of "Christ in you the hope of glory" is being revealed to many with eyes to see and ears to hear.
Col 1:27: To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Yes, there is massive cataclysmic change and correction ahead for the world. As the worldwide remnant of holy kingdom people quietly grow into place prepared to receive the kingdoms of the world by the indwelling Christ, the stage is set for powerful intervention of God to change the world systems and the face of the earth.
The most important thing for sent ones is not that we live long lives, but that we finish our part and complete our course before departing. Whether we live long or die young in battle we are the Lord’’s. Jesus spent thirty years in preparation and only three years in ministry. If we spend many years in preparation for a short time of ministry we must be and do what we are sent to be and do. Our course began in the Spirit and we must finish our course in the Spirit. It is not by our power or might but by My Spirit says the Lord.Rom 14:8 : For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.
Keep on pursuing love.
It never fails.

5 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / ALL CREATION IS GROANING FOR A NEW BIRTH! by John Mark Pool 12/2 on: Today at 06:02:08am
December 2, 2007
John Mark Pool:
"All Creation is GROANING for a NEW BIRTH!"
"For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time." Romans 8:22
2008 is a new year with a NEW BIRTH! Yet we must bring it to pass. Women understand this more than men because they carry the process full term. All creation depends upon us in the birth chambers of intercession to bring this light of the world into existence on the earth as it is in Heaven. We can do this! Our time is now!
Sin will never have the last word. God made the earth as a habitation for His people. The occurrence of sin brought on decay and disturbance of purposes. "The Heavens are Thine, the earth also is Thine: as for the world and the fullness thereof, Thou hast founded them." Psalm 89:11
God, The only Creator, will one day redeem His people (those who are in Christ Jesus) and the earth. Paul personified the elements of nature as looking forward to deliverance the same way that Christians anticipate our glorified resurrection body. The same Holy Spirit that brooded over the waters in creation (Genesis 1:2) has been given to Christians as a foretaste and assurance of the glorious hope that awaits us. We can live with joy, assured that we have a wonderful expectation awaiting us. That hope includes a new, transformed world, which will again pass God's examination as "very good" (Genesis 1:31).
As for now, however, I feel that all of creation that was made by the Most High God--is groaning for many reasons.
This is the season that coincides with the celebration of the birth of the Savior of the world. Mary was anticipating a birth that would cost her everything in reputation; and yet it would gain her place in the Kingdom as she willingly became the host of Heaven's pledge to regain all of the lost humanity that would accept Jesus Christ as their Lord.
Those who know of the witness of Christ but have continually rejected Him, as THE ONLY Savior of the world, will begin feeling this season of anticipation causing them to groan in desperation for an answer. We are that answer, yet the world must be brought to a stage of acceptance either by their willingness or by increasing disasters that will certainly increase each year.
The physical earth has been terribly abused and is reeling with the pangs of the anticipation of the new birth of the new Heavens. You do not sow into destruction of God's created earth without reaping certain natural disasters. Calamities will surely increase each year until we understand that God is serious about His creation.
The birthing time is near! Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 66:1-2, "Thus saith the LORD, The Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: where is the house that ye build unto Me? and where is the place of My rest? For all those things hath Mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word."
God made it all for us to bring Him glory in our multiplication process. We are the ones that have been assigned the Kingdom dominion process. We are not waiting on God--He is waiting on us. This new birth is depending upon our actions now.
"Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your God." Isaiah 66:9
God is waiting on our intensity of pressing into the birthing process of something that all creation is groaning over today! Will we hear the pangs of the new birth? Will we stand in a gap and make up a hedge? It is not depending upon church size, church affiliation, days of the week of attendance, or names. The new birth of the Kingdom that is now coming in this earth as it is in Heaven, depends upon the people of God staying in the birthing chambers of intercession and being consumed by the Father in a holy desperation for something we have been promised--since creation! Come on, people of God! Desperation will indeed place a demand upon our destiny!
ALL CREATION IS GROANING!

6 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / ALL CONSUMING FIRE by Tommy Hays 12/2 on: Today at 05:58:08am
All Consuming Fire
Tommy Hays
Dec 2 2007 07:34AM
Morning by Morning, Sunday 12-02-07 -- All Consuming Fire
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Purify me, as I glorify You. ...
"And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you. And may He so strengthen your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints" (1 Thessalonians 3:11-13).
I confess that I am not yet blameless before You. So strengthen my heart in holiness, that I may be ready to receive You at Your coming. By Your grace and in Your power, I choose to obey Your command -- "Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). I hear Your Holy Spirit forming the words of a new song in my human spirit now:
All Consuming Fire,
Burn within my heart.
Come make me
More holy.
Come set my heart ablaze.
All Consuming Fire,
Purify my desires.
Come prepare me
To meet You.
Come set my heart ablaze.
All Consuming Fire,
Fill my life with Your Power.
Come make me
More like You.
Come set my heart ablaze.
"For God did not call us to impurity, but in holiness" (1 Thessalonians 4:7). "For this is the will of God, your sanctification ..." (v. 4:3). Yes, Lord. I pursue You and Your nature. Come make me more holy; come prepare me to meet You; come make me more like You each day. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays

"MY ROCK"
The Word of God says:
Psalm 18:2 (KJV)
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Psalm 40:2 (KJV)
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
Psalm 62:6-7 (KJV)
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 7In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Psalm 105:41 (KJV)
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
Matthew 7:24-25 (KJV)
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew 16:18 (KJV)
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
1 Cor. 10:4 (KJV)
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ
PRAYER:
LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR ROCK, OUR FORTRESS, OUR DELIVERER, OUR GOD, OUR STRENGTH, IN WHOM WE TRUST, OUR BUCKLER, THE HORN OF OUR SALVATION AND OUR HIGH TOWER IN EVERY SITUATION OF LIFE TODAY
FATHER, WE PRAISE YOU FOR BRINGING US UP OUT OF THE HORRIBLE PIT, OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY, AND YOU HAVE SET OUR FEET UPON A ROCK, AND ESTABLISHED ALL OF OUR COMING AND GOING TODAY
LORD, WE GIVE YOU HONOR AND YOU ALONE ARE OUR ROCK OF SALVATION, OUR DEFENCE, WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED, IN YOU IS OUR SALVATION AND OUR GLORY, THE ROCK OF OUR STRENGTH, AND OUR FORTRESS IN ALL WE DO TODAY
FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR OPENING THE ROCK OF NATURAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND LIMITATIONS, SO THAT YOUR SUPERNATURAL WATERS OF PROVISION GUSH OUT, AND RUN INTO EVERY DRY PLACE OF OUR LIVES LIKE A RIVER TODAY
JESUS, WE EXALT YOUR HOLY NAME, AND HEAR YOUR SAYINGS, AND DO THEM, AND WE WILL BE YOUR WISE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE BUILT OUR HOUSE UPON A ROCK, AND WHEN THE RAIN DESCENDS, AND THE FLOODS COME, AND THE WINDS BLOW AND BEAT UPON OUR HOUSE, IT WILL NOT FALL BECAUSE IT IS FOUNDED UPON YOU OUR ROCK TODAY
LORD, WE PRAISE YOU AND WE ARE YOUR CHURCH, AND THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL IN ANY WAY AGAINST US TODAY
LASTLY FATHER, WE GIVE THANKS THAT WE ALL DO DRINK THE SAME SPIRITUAL DRINK, AS WE HAVE DRANK FROM THAT SPIRITUAL ROCK THAT FOLLOWS US, AND THAT ROCK IS CHRIST IN EVERYTHING WE DO TODAY
IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY...AMEN!
esians 4:15-16 "Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love." (Amplified Version)
