Praising the Lord with you, Pammy, Ces, Galaxie:
....as we pray for each other for guidance and God's perfect will in our lives!
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Let Your Word be a lamp to our feet and a light to Pammy's, Ces, Calaxie & all my prescious brother & sister's path, who are reading this right now (& those who aren't)
"And when they turn to the right or when they turn to the left, their ears shall hear a word behind them, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it' " (Isaiah 30:21).

Hold on for the ride is getting FASTER, and the changes will be even more transforming as I stoke the fires and kindle the ovens of revival in your hearts. For I am faithful and JUST to do all that is in My heart to make you more like ME. My bride will not be in spotted material, nor grubby clothing. She will come forth like gold from Ophir. She is not going to be full of dirt and unbelief. Doubt has no place in My Kingdom. I am perfecting YOUR FAITH beloveds and removing all FEAR for those who are willing, even for some who have been unwilling, knowing the decision they would make in the end.

This is amazing that someone even thought of this!
Dancing With God
When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance. When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".
"God, "u" and "i" dance."
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.
This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life,
please share this message with someone else.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
so let's continue to pray for one another.
And I Hope You Dance !

As you stand face to face with situations and possibilities that you never could have imagined, your inclination is to make decisions based on how you feel. But, that is not your best recourse. Do not be impatient or hasty. Take the time to really seek My face for wisdom and guidance. Come to the place of peace in your soul so that you can actually be led by My Spirit. To do otherwise will only create more chaos and confusion.
Trust Me to direct your steps
, says the Lord. Ecclesiastes 5:2 Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; therefore let your words be few.

Any person will tend to walk according to your own desires and flesh, instead of asking ME for guidance, because you are not fellowshipping with ME, you are trusting in self, rather than in ME. I want you to know HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. You can only know that by EXPERIENCING ME. I AM AN EXPERIENCE. If you want to feel My love, then you ask for it. Even as a husband or wife would ask for more intimacy. I am a person. And you are my great delight. But you must come to ME, to ask to experience that manifest love I have for you, and to experience the PEACE that comes from fellowship with ME.


Beloved, listen for My directions and guidance. I will show you the way and cause you to see your circumstances with greater clarity. As you make corrections in answer to My conviction, you will find yourself in a position of extreme favor. If you refuse to make corrections, you will find yourself on a circular path that will bring you back to this point repeatedly until you yield to righteousness, says the Lord.
Job 6:29 Yield now, let there be no injustice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!

Things are not working out exactly the way you imagined, but be assured that I am leading you in the direction that will be the most beneficial to you in the long run, says the Lord. Do not despair and do not be afraid. I am taking you every step of the way as you yield to My guidance. When you are unsure of what to do next, you will need to be still and wait until I move you forward in a decisive way. Be strong!
Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.

Let your heart be prepared to always have a hearty "amen and amen" to My word, to My instructions, and to My wisdom, says the Lord. Never hesitate to accept My truth and guidance even when your circumstances seem to be beyond help. The difficulty of a situation never alters truth, nor does it negate My word or power to bring you through. Refuse to allow fear or discouragement to cause your faith to be ineffective.
2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

KNOW that I see all, and hear all, and will continue to BLOW till all the chaff is dealt with beloveds. PRAY and CRY OUT ! Worship and DECLARE ! For I AM WITH YOU. I AM IN YOU. I AM YOUR EXCEEDINGLY GREAT REWARD and I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU. Glory will spill out into the highways and byways. I will be your rear guard as you give to ME your time, your life. Guard your heart against the enemy of your soul. KEEP in MY WORD. MY WORD IS LIFE TO YOUR SOUL. Do not allow it to be stolen. BELIEVE and DECREE IT. Anticipate CHANGES that will bring glory to MY NAME. I am in the business of doing miracles and you will see
more and more as My glory fills your hearts.”

Prayer / WASHING & BREAKTHROUGH FOR FLORIDA by Joni Ames 8/23 on: Today at 09:15:54am
WASHING & BREAKTHROUGH FOR FLORIDA
- Joni Ames
JoniAmes@aol.com

I've watched with interest what the Lord has done with Florida this past week with the Hurricane, following the announcements about Lakeland.

Ever so lovingly, and ever so gently, He thoroughly washed ALL of Florida.

Last night, He then took me to the following set of verses for Florida:

"So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water." Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim (God of the Breakthrough)." (1 Chron. 14:11)

I believe the Lord, just as when He lovingly washed the feet of His disciples, has lovingly washed the dust from the foot of our nation, Florida, and will again re-open Her doors for Breakthrough, in spite of the enemy.

"Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in." (Psalm 24:7 & 9)

========
PRAYER
========
Lord, We come before you and turn our face towards you and ask and thank you for your loving mercy and grace.

We thank you that your word says, "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (1 Chron. 7:14)

We love you and thank you for pouring out your cleansing and breakthrough throughout Florida in this time.

In Jesus' name, Amen

2 PROPHECY: / Visions and Dreams / DREAM 8/23 on: Today at 08:18:08am
CHUCK PIERCE
http://www.glory-of-zion.org


August 23, 2008

Dream shared by LeAnn Squier:
"I was in an outdoor stadium, more like a performance hall or coliseum. Not so much the size but the importance of the setting and gathering was key. I arrived early, being one of the first in line to assure that I would be seated properly. I went through the gate and turnstile, and then walked down at an angle to all the seats. The stage was in front of us. When I got down to where my seats were, I looked back and could see that several had gone before and usurped the fences and the boundaries of the order set by the authority over the gathering. Many of the best seats all over the hall had been claimed.

"There was this one section that stood out brilliantly to me in the dream and I knew I was supposed to be seated there. The section had been saved by someone placing bright, hot pink stadium blankets to cover the whole section of seats. I looked around and there was this beautiful, elegant, stately black woman down front and I knew she was the director over everything. I went down to her and said, 'Is that alright? Are those seats available? Should they have been covered over like that?' She said, 'No, you're welcome to take those seats.'

"At this point I was down front close to the stage, but I knew I must be repositioned for this important meeting. Instead of just taking the easy way, climbing over others by zigzagging and running to secure my seats, I went all the way back to the entryway, and went through the gate and turnstile again. I waited on the three people in front of me.

As I was waiting on this pathway or concourse that you walk on, I stepped out to the aisle and there were children on the ground playing with toys. They obviously had some clear plastic toys that were now totally broken into many parts and pieces. They were all over the pathway. These pieces looked like clear broken glass. I thought, 'I've got to go to my seats, so I will just step on all the broken parts and keep going.' I felt the plastic pieces getting into my feet. I stopped and grabbed the next post in wonderment, shaking my head, wondering why all this broken stuff was on this pathway or aisle. I was just sitting there, plucking it out of my feet, and I woke up." -End of dream

I Have Your Next Seat of Authority
LeAnn shared that the key issues in the dream that impressed her were the authorities, the authorization, the positions that were given, the gates, the paths, and the brokenness that could have stopped her. I could sense the interpretation for us as she shared the dream. I heard the Lord say:

"I have destined a place for you. In the midst of My positioning, you are halfway. You are between redemption and purity. I am purifying you now so that you can find the redemptive thread for your life and the entryway into your promise. Your seat and position of authority has been destined.

"I am blowing new vision on you to show you your place of authority for this next season. Do not enter in the gate through an invalid way or hurry past the protocol that has been developed for your safety. Watch the authorities that I have positioned to help you into this next seat of authority.

"When you see your position, find your way fully through and into your next place. Even though much immaturity has torn up and broken the gifts that I am releasing and cluttered the path to where My people will be seated to rule in days ahead, walk forward anyway!

"Walk on top of that immaturity and do not allow that which My children have used wrongly to stop you. Do not allow My gifts that have been broken and abused to keep you from your new seat of authority. I will have those on your path who will point the way and keep you moving. You will be positioned with a new authority in a new place.

"I will redeem your place in the midst of those who have broken rank and run ahead of My perfect timing. This will not prevent Me from gathering again those who are willing to hear My call. I am preparing the places of broken, abused and unfulfilled destinies and will reseat My faithful ones that will lead on into the future. Harvest awaits and I will not be stopped."

GROW, MATURE, INCREASE and ACCELERATE in the Next 30 Days!


Because of our covenant alignment, I find wonderful blessing occurs in my life and this ministry when I pray for you. This is a time of asking the Spirit of the Lord to cleanse our blood and break any spiritual generational iniquitous patterns in our lives. I am declaring that you GROW supernaturally.

May you experience an acceleration and growth in your life in the next 30 days. May you make the sacrifices you need to make for others.

May you grow in your attitude and sustain a loving and respectful manner toward others even though they may not do the same. May you grow and mature in your character traits. You may be anointed, but let the Lord develop your character in a new way. May you react with wisdom and a cool and poised spirit in every difficult situation. May you grow through your resistance to temptation.

May you grow in courage and boldness. May you see abusive, detrimental situations come to an end. May you represent the Lord and be wise as serpents but gentle as lambs. May you always act according to Father's will and see His blessings manifest in the earth realm. May the Word of God come alive in a new way and your actions of faith increase. May satan's strategies of decrease be foiled in your life. Grow in resources. Let creativity develop in your difficult situations.

May you grow in your relationships. May you grow in gratefulness for people that God has placed in your life to guide you. May you grow and increase in your good deeds and acts of kindness. Go beyond your natural tendencies! Be compassionate and forgive those who are doing you wrong. Protect your marriage, your friendships, and your covenant ministry partnerships. Show others how to prosper so you may gain an increase yourself.

"Delight yourself in the Word of the Lord. In His law meditate day and night. You will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water. You will yield fruit in due season. You will remain unique and not become barren. Your leaves and life processes will not wither. Whatever you do, you will prosper.

"For if you remain righteous in your acts and character, the LORD, who knows your way, will direct you in a straight path. The wicked will perish! So do not join yourself with those who are doing wrong for ungodly gain! Stay true to our Lord in this season and you will prosper!" (Paraphrased from Psalm 1).



3 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / ABANDONING THE OLD SHELL 8/23 on: Today at 08:12:16am
ABANDONING THE OLD SHELL

From the Rhema Journals of Sandy Warner

www.thequickenedword.com


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

RHEMA 4/07/08 ABANDONING THE OLD SHELL



HEARD: Oh really, the turtles abandon their shells?



VISION: I saw all these turtle shells lined up along a flowing creek bed and a pool of water. These shells were standing up on their ends, like armored shields and were all stacked together like Pringles potato chips in a can!



I saw that the turtles had shed them because they no longer fit and they had jumped into the water with brand new and larger shells. The water was a lovely turquoise.



[This is a Word parable, because turtles do not shed their shells in real life.]



HEARD: Old wine skin.



Mark 2:21-22 AMP

No one sews a patch of unshrunken (new) goods on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and the rent (tear) becomes bigger and worse [than it was before]. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the bottles destroyed; but new wine is to be put in new (fresh) wineskins.



IMPRESSION: God doesnt take our old life, but we with our own choice in our thoughts and deeds walk away from what no longer fits and what we have grown out of in maturity.



HEARD: We have abandoned what no longer works because we have grown out of it.



2 Cor 5:17-18 NKJV

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.



WORD TO PONDER: ABANDONING THE OLD SHELL 4/07/08

It is time to shed and abandon old ways and old patterns that do not promote abundant health to your soul, body and spirit. Yes what is outside of sin is lawful, but all things are not edifying; they do not build you up. Precious one, you have asked for My increase in your life. If you stayed in the old skin in your thinking, perspectives, emotions, habits, the increase of My anointing would burst through cracks in your character and it would cause much damage to you and others. Beloved if you are feeling tight and squeezed in areas, it is because I AM moving you to let go and leave the old self behind.



I have brought you through years of maturation where these old patterns no longer fit you. Simply be willing to lay these down and walk away. Your character in Me has grown to the place where your will is strong enough to say, “NO!” to old dysfunctions of what no longer works to appease and what no longer fits My image. Strip off the old self, abandon it and return to it no more. You are a new creature in Me, and old things have passed away. As you abandon the old skin, you will have a new covered protection and home in Me. I will increase your blessing as you swim freely in the waters of My Spirit.



Mark 2:22 NLT

And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. The wine would burst the wineskins, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New wine needs new wineskins."






4 PROPHECY: / Praise and Devotionals / THE SAINT MUST WALK ALONE 8/23 on: Today at 08:07:23am
The SAINT MUST WALK ALONE
-by A. W Tozer.

Most of the world's great souls have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness.

In the morning of the world (or should we say, in that strange darkness that came soon after the dawn of man's creation), that pious soul, Enoch, walked with God and was not, for God took him; and while it is not stated in so many words, a fair inference is that Enoch walked a path quite apart from his contemporaries.

Another lonely man was Noah who, of all the antediluvians, found grace in the sight of God; and every shred of evidence points to the aloneness of his life even while surrounded by his people.

Again, Abraham had Sarah and Lot, as well as many servants and herdsmen, but who can read his story and the apostolic comment upon it without sensing instantly that he was a man "whose soul was alike a star and dwelt apart"? As far as we know not one word did God ever speak to him in the company of men. Face down he communed with his God, and the innate dignity of the man forbade that he assume this posture in the presence of others. How sweet and solemn was the scene that night of the sacrifice when he saw the lamps of fire moving between the pieces of offering. There, alone with a horror of great darkness upon him, he heard the voice of God and knew that he was a man marked for divine favor.

Moses also was a man apart. While yet attached to the court of Pharaoh he took long walks alone, and during one of these walks while far removed from the crowds he saw an Egyptian and a Hebrew fighting and came to the rescue of his countryman. After the resultant break with Egypt he dwelt in almost complete seclusion in the desert. There, while he watched his sheep alone, the wonder of the burning bush appeared to him, and later on the peak of Sinai he crouched alone to gaze in fascinated awe at the Presence, partly hidden, partly disclosed, within the cloud and fire.

The prophets of pre-Christian times differed widely from each other, but one mark they bore in common was their enforced loneliness. They loved their people and gloried in the religion of the fathers, but their loyalty to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and their zeal for the welfare of the nation of Israel drove them away from the crowd and into long periods of heaviness. "I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children," cried one and unwittingly spoke for all the rest.

Most revealing of all is the sight of that One of whom Moses and all the prophets did write, treading His lonely way to the cross. His deep loneliness was unrelieved by the presence of the multitudes.

'Tis midnight, and on Olive's brow The star is dimmed that lately shone; 'Tis midnight; in the garden now, The suffering Savior prays alone. 'Tis midnight, and from all removed The Savior wrestles lone with fears; E'en the disciple whom He loved Heeds not his Master's grief and tears.
- William B. Tappan

He died alone in the darkness hidden from the sight of mortal man and no one saw Him when He arose triumphant and walked out of the tomb, though many saw Him afterward and bore witness to what they saw. There are some things too sacred for any eye but God's to look upon. The curiosity, the clamor, the well-meant but blundering effort to help can only hinder the waiting soul and make unlikely if not impossible the communication of the secret message of God to the worshiping heart.

Sometimes we react by a kind of religious reflex and repeat dutifully the proper words and phrases even though they fail to express our real feelings and lack the authenticity of personal experience. Right now is such a time. A certain conventional loyalty may lead some who hear this unfamiliar truth expressed for the first time to say brightly, "Oh, I am never lonely. Christ said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you,' and 'Lo, I am with you always.' How can I be lonely when Jesus is with me?"

Now I do not want to reflect on the sincerity of any Christian soul, but this stock testimony is too neat to be real. It is obviously what the speaker thinks should be true rather than what he has proved to be true by the test of experience. This cheerful denial of loneliness proves only that the speaker has never walked with God without the support and encouragement afforded him by society. The sense of companionship which he mistakenly attributes to the presence of Christ may and probably does arise from the presence of friendly people. Always remember: you cannot carry a cross in company. Though a man were surrounded by a vast crowd, his cross is his alone and his carrying of it marks him as a man apart. Society has turned against him; otherwise he would have no cross. No one is a friend to the man with a cross. "They all forsook Him, and fled."



The pain of loneliness arises from the constitution of our nature. God made us for each other. The desire for human companionship is completely natural and right. The loneliness of the Christian results from his walk with God in an ungodly world, a walk that must often take him away from the fellowship of good Christians as well as from that of the unregenerate world. His God-given instincts cry out for companionship with others of his kind, others who can understand his longings, his aspirations, his absorption in the love of Christ; and because within his circle of friends there are so few who share inner experiences, he is forced to walk alone. The unsatisfied longings of the prophets for human understanding caused them to cry out in their complaint, and even our Lord Himself suffered in the same way.

The man who has passed on into the divine Presence in actual inner experience will not find many who understand him. A certain amount of social fellowship will of course be his as he mingles with religious persons in the regular activities of the church, but true spiritual fellowship will be hard to find. But he should not expect things to be otherwise. After all he is a stranger and a pilgrim, and the journey he takes is not on his feet but in his heart. He walks with God in the garden of his own soul - and who but God can walk there with him? He is of another spirit from the multitudes that tread the courts of the Lord's house. He has seen that of which they have only heard, and he walks among them somewhat as Zacharias walked after his return from the altar when the people whispered, "He has seen a vision."

The truly spiritual man is indeed something of an oddity. He lives not for himself but to promote the interests of Another. He seeks to persuade people to give all to his Lord and asks no portion or share for himself. He delights not to be honored but to see his Savior glorified in the eyes of men. His joy is to see his Lord promoted and himself neglected. He finds few who care to talk about that which is the supreme object of his interest, so he is often silent and preoccupied in the midst of noisy religious shoptalk. For this he earns the reputation of being dull and overserious, so he is avoided and the gulf between him and society widens. He searches for friends upon whose garments he can detect the smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia out of the ivory palaces, and finding few or none, he, like Mary of old, keeps these things in his heart.

It is this very loneliness that throws him back upon God. "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up." His inability to find human companionship drives him to seek in God what he can find nowhere else. He learns in inner solitude what he could not have learned in the crowd - that Christ is All in All, that He is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption, that in Him we have and possess life's summum bonum.

Two things remain to be said. One, that the lonely man of whom we speak is not a haughty man, nor is he the holier-than-thou, austere saint so bitterly satirized in popular literature. He is likely to feel that he is the least of all men and is sure to blame himself for his very loneliness. He wants to share his feelings with others and to open his heart to some like-minded soul who will understand him, but the spiritual climate around him does not encourage it, so he remains silent and tells his griefs to God alone.

The second thing is that the lonely saint is not the withdrawn man who hardens himself against human suffering and spends his days contemplating the heavens. Just the opposite is true. His loneliness makes him sympathetic to the approach of the brokenhearted and the fallen and the sin-bruised. Because he is detached from the world, he is all the more able to help it. Meister Eckhart taught his followers that if they should find themselves in prayer and happen to remember that a poor widow needed food, they should break off the prayer instantly and go care for the widow. "God will not suffer you to lose anything by it," he told them. "You can take up again in prayer where you left off and the Lord will make it up to you." This is typical of the great mystics and masters of the interior life from Paul to the present day.

The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world. In their effort to achieve restful "adjustment" to unregenerate society they have lost their pilgrim character and become an essential part of the very moral order against which they are sent to protest. The world recognizes them and accepts them for what they are. And this is the saddest thing that can be said about them. They are not lonely, but neither are they saints.




5 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / CRINGING AND FAWNING by Priscilla Van Sutphin 8/23 on: Today at 08:06:20am
Cringing and Fawning
Aug 23rd, 2008
Scribe: Priscilla Van Sutphin
www.upstreamca.org

The Lord reminded me of a book by Hannah Hurnard I read years ago called Hinds Feet on High Places. The character in the book had the name "much afraid". He had spoke the above words so listening, I felt Him say…

" The enemy has set up the world for the appearance of the antichrist's domination and control through all kinds of FEAR tactics, and threats, rumors and has made advancements to implement the end time scenario I have warned you of. But FEAR is NOT supposed to be in your language beloveds. I am to be who you fear or dread. It is the FEAR of the LORD that is the beginning of WISDOM.

I am not intimidated by the works of the antichrist and his friends at all. I AM the ALMIGHTY ONE, and there is nothing that intimidates Me. And because you have your life in Me, and I in you, there is nothing you need to fear either. The worst thing that could happen is your martyrdom or death. Why are you worried by anything when you know I AM on your side, and I said I would be with you till the end of all time ?

Fear is an ENEMY ! It is through much fear that many will give in to the plans of the enemy, and turn over many brothers and sisters to the antichrist. It is through fear that many will fall to deception and compromise, as has ALREADY happened in the lives of many in the church. It will surprise you when you learn that many of your leaders have already pledged themselves to the antichrist system through their actions and received finances to support their ministries through such actions.

If you ask, I will show you who you can trust and who you need to avoid. For brother will turn against brother and people's enemy's will be those of their own household I told you.
Do not walk in presumption but pray in the Holy Spirit and I will give you all you need to walk in the call that I have for you. Do not be swayed easily by corporate, worldly love that appears as genuine but which has at it's root, anti-christ. Wisdom from above is pure, genuine, peaceful, kind, and it is not generated by HUMANISTIC ideals, but LOVE for the Son of GOD. Humanistic love does not bow to the CROSS OF CHRIST JESUS. But it appears generous and good, kind and is a great counterfeit for the TRUTH.



2 Tim 3 AMPLIFIED

Chapter 3
1 BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear]. 2 For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane. 3 [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.

4 [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God. 5 For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them]. 6 For among them are those who worm their way into homes and captivate silly and weak-natured and spiritually dwarfed women, loaded down with [the burden of their] sins [and easily] swayed and led away by various evil desires and seductive impulses.
7 [These weak women will listen to anybody who will teach them]; they are forever inquiring and getting information, but are never able to arrive at a recognition and knowledge of the Truth. 8 Now just as Jannes and Jambres were hostile to and resisted Moses, so these men also are hostile to and oppose the Truth. They have depraved and distorted minds, and are reprobate and counterfeit and to be rejected as far as the faith is concerned. [Ex 7:11.]
9 But they will not get very far, for their rash folly will become obvious to everybody, as was that of those [magicians mentioned]. 10 Now you have closely observed and diligently followed my teaching, conduct, purpose in life, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, 11 Persecutions, sufferings - such as occurred to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra, persecutions I endured, but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Indeed all who delight in piety and are determined to live a devoted and godly life in Christ Jesus will meet with persecution [will be made to suffer because of their religious stand].

13 But wicked men and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and leading astray others and being deceived and led astray themselves. 14 But as for you, continue to hold to the things that you have learned and of which you are convinced, knowing from whom you learned [them], 15 And how from your childhood you have had a knowledge of and been acquainted with the sacred Writings, which are able to instruct you and give you the understanding for salvation which comes through faith in Christ Jesus [through the leaning of the entire human personality on God in Christ Jesus in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness].

16 Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action), 17 So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.




6 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / IT IS TIME FOR SOME GOOD THINKING by Ras Robinson 8/23 on: Today at 08:03:34am
What the Lord Is Saying TodayToday


August 23, 2008. It is time for some good thinking. As you think, so are you. Today in early morning prayer, I watched the pre-dawn skies for a few minutes. Over our house were many scattered clouds but in the area of my view there was a perfectly round unclouded space of beautiful blue sky. The Lord says today, the clouds will always be with you but if you pay attention there is always blue sky. Find it and seek the meaning. You have been thinking heavy thoughts. Some have been repeated worries. Yes, there has been discontent. All issues are not solved and the chatter is not peaceful. But you have found Me. Turn your thinking upwards to the blue sky.
Philippians 4:7-8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Ras Robinson*

August 23, 2008. Are the people around you stimulating you to you to be a better person? Do they build you up and stir you up to live, and give as I have done? I have made you one of a kind. I have called you to fly high, to live life to the fullest, to be an over comer. You will do well to be in that place where you can live on a higher plane. There are others who also need someone to build them up to live in that higher realm. Distance yourself from the ones who will pull you down, unless you are the one who will pull them up.
Hebrews 10:23-25 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

8 PROPHECY: / Visions and Dreams / IT IS FINISHED by Teresa 8/22 on: August 22, 2008, 06:41:34 PM
IT IS FINISHED
by Teresa

The past is over, It is done, it is finished, it is accomplished.
Like Lot's wife, do not look back. Rather look ahead, look up, for your redemption draws near. The past has no place anymore. It is cut off. You are entering a new place. Behold, I make all things new, can you not perceive it? It is done, it is finished, it is accomplished. Now is the time of new beginnings. Now is the Day of the Lord. Look to Me, rest in Me, wait for Me, pray without ceasing, cast your doubts into the sea. Forsake the ways of man, the views of man, the thoughts of man, in you. Like a radio you can turn them off by the turn of a button, by an act of the will, by a conscious choice to trust Me no matter what you hear to the contrary. The accuser stands ready to accusse -- cover yourself in My Blood; the discourager stands ready to discourage, believe in My love for you. Keep yourself in a spirit of repentance, by keeping an open heart toward Me. Remember you are every whit clean except your feet, that part of your soul that must maintain contact with earthly things. I wash your feet as you keep in repentance before Me. Lift up your rod, the authority I have given you, My Name, and part the sea before you: the sea of confusion, doubt and unbelief; the sea of lies and deceptions; the sea of the world and all its false teachings; the sea of many voices that hinder your crossing over into a new place.

--[Saw a thick metal door, which led into what appeared to be an underground shelter. The door was old, and surrounded by ivy and overgrown. I slammed the door shut, then put a brand new lock on it, and wrapped the lock with a shiny brand new chain. Then I turned and saw before me beautiful meadows and hills, covered in green grass. I knew I was going to go up these hills to a new place, and the dungeon-like place I had just slammed the door on was to be left forever behind.]--

Declare it to the mountains, declare it to the valleys, declare it to the hills, forests and seas. Declare it to every living creature, that this is the new day of the Lord. The past is over, it is finished. It cannot reach you anymore, it cannot trouble you further, it has no place in you or power over you anymore. Go forth, go forth, go forth. Arise and go forth for the way is prepared before you. This is the new day of the Lord. The old, the past, has no part in it.

It is not doing, it is Being
It is no longer believing, it is knowing.
I Am Who Am. Christ in you.
For the Kingdom of God is without observation, the Kingdom of God is within you.

"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21

08/22/08

This is the season of anointing. Where can you go to feel my presence; sense this anointing? It is at your disposal. You are my child and I have provided this gift. Do you have a spirit of expectancy? Do you believe that it is real? Do you think that my disciples were only in days of old?

You are precious in my sight. You have been obedient and I will reward this. You have approached my altar and humbled yourself before me. You have praised me with your whole heart. You have acknowledged my holiness. Bow before me and make your petitions known. Come with a thankful heart and with a grateful spirit. Come before my throne of grace to find help in time of need.

I am approachable.

"Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed unto the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
Hebrews 4: 14-16






10 Christian Fellowship: / Prayer / PRAYER by Heather Butler 8/22 on: August 22, 2008, 09:54:05 AM
Rev Heather Butler
2 Chronicles 7 - 14 - 15



14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. 16 I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
Dear friends



This prayer is a prophetic act, the sending out of it is to encourage us all to look again, to see how the Lord views our lives so that we can discern all that is Him, and be rid of all that is not of Him. The Lord is calling us to regroup, to mobilize as the army of God, but to do that there are things that we need to re learn, to look at, to get rid of, to lay down.



I believe that when we come together as one body in one accord that its very powerful, when we speak with one voice the Father hears us, which is why its important to come into agreement in prayer with each other, this is a solemn assembly via the internet, will you join me in prayer and repentance today and emable the Holy Spirit to reveal those areas in our lives that we need to change Every blessing Heather.



I have spoken out this prayer this morning, and ask that you stand with me and cry out to the lord too.




We are living in times where now more than ever we need to ensure that what we say and do lines up with scripture and is from right motivation . I have felt in my own life a concern rise within me for the body of Christ and for myself as I have begun to recognise just how many of us have allowed an infiltration of things into our lives that may on the surface seem to be godly but which may not be.



Many of us have doctrines that have been handed down to us that have been part of who we are, and we have believed those things and we need to recheck again, are they tied up in celtic mysticism, new age, wrong teachings from the platform.



Now more than ever we need to come back to the cross, to come back to Jesus, what did he say what did he teach, how did he react to sin of any kind.



Todays prayer is something I believe that the lord has given me to send out, so that those of us who feel the need are able to come as David did before the lord, and ask him to search us to see if there is anything that we need to change.



I believe that this is an opportunity for us all to unite in prayer to enable the Holy Spirit to come and speak with us about those things that we need to let go of, to re focus on what is important.



Every blessing to you, I pray that Jesus in you the Hope of Glory will come and transform lives as we are brought back to the truth of his word, and of his divine nature . blessings Heather.



Prayer of repentance.



Lord I come before your throne of Grace, and ask that you will wash and cleanse me from those things that have come into my life through unsound doctrine, through religiosity, through theories of man that were not of you. I hand over these things to you and place them at the foot of the cross, and ask you to forgive me for allowing anything into my life that would get in the way of the truth of who you are and your word.



Jesus, as I turn to you for your help in these last days, will you wash and cleanse me of any unrighteousness and impurity, I give you permission to come and reveal to me those areas in my life that I need to change, no matter how difficult that may be, I desire to be made clean in every area of my life that is offensive to you. Lord if I have taught anything that was not scriptural, and that was not your word, would you also reveal that to me and make a way possible for me to come to those people, and admit that I got it wrong. Father I would never knowingly advocate anything that was against your will, your plans and purposes, but I do recognise how easy it is to be influenced by many things as we walk through each day.



Lord, I don’t want to live only for myself, I desire to live only for you, so that I am not seen and you are seen, so that you will be glorified in every circumstance of my life.

Lord as I send this prayer out, would you enable those who read it to come before you too, so that many of us can be brought into that place of release and freedom.



Lord will you quiet my spirit that I may spend time with you, will you draw me into that secret place in you, so that I can come and dwell in your presence, and re focus. Will you speak to me through the truth of your word, through dreams or visions, will you enable me to get back on track once again.



Lord I love you, and am so aware that without you I can do nothing, but through you I can do all things because you strengthen me, cause me to come into that place of purity to enable that word to come to pass in my own life that many will be encouraged saved set free healed. Lord my only desire is to see you lifted up that all may be drawn near to you.



I repent of my sin, and I leave it at the cross now, and walk away, leaving my shortcomings and sin with you, come into the newness of this day, that we may walk and talk together.



Thankyou for your cleansing, thankyou that when I come in repentance before you that you cover me in your robes. Thankyou for your forgiveness, and for new life in you.
Amen.
===================================================================
You have set before me a path in perfect alignment with Your will and plan for my life. And Your plan is perfectly suited for who You created me to be and all You created me to do. I can trust You and trust Your plan. "For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope" (Jeremiah 29:11).



To walk this path, You've given me Your Word. It is a lamp to show me the very next step for my feet and it is a light to shine the way forward into the next season (Psalm 119:105). Cause me to love Your Word and learn Your Word, to lean on Your Word as my staff in the journey as You give me the grace to trust and obey Your Word.



But along with Your written Word, You've also given me Your spoken word -- the words You speak with Your still, small voice to lead and to guide (1 Kings 19:12). This is the voice of Your word I hear behind me, nudging me to walk in the way You've set before me. If I step to the right to follow my own way or to the left to follow someone's else's way, You are gracious to correct me and nudge me back onto Your way. You call me to "walk in it" because You know what's best for me, what will fulfill me and the plans You have for me.



Yet Your love always leaves the choice to walk in Your way or not. With every step, You set before me the choice of looking to Your Word open before me and listening to Your word speaking behind me or not. There is always a step that leads me in righteousness -- right relationship with You and with others and within myself -- or a step that leads me off Your path out of step with Your plan. "In the path of righteousness there is life, in walking its path there is no death" (Proverbs 12:28). "For the wise the path of life leads upward, in order to avoid Sheol below" (Proverbs 15:24). Help me look and listen for the guidance of Your words throughout the moments of my day, so I can choose the path the leads upward to life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Recognize this is a time of NEW BEGINNINGS and change your expectations. It’s true there will be peril and hardships, but MY POWER will be poured out as never before. REMEMBER that the priests had ME as their inheritance. I AM YOUR EXCEEDINGLY GREAT REWARD. MANY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE UP LUXURIES, AND CONVENIENCES TO HAVE THE GLORY THEY WANT. But I told you to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth where moth and rust decay. I want you to live simply as you can and to no longer hold on to the things you can hold in your hand, but to TRUST FULLY in ME and MY ability to provide all that you NEED. The age of having all that you WANT is fading. This is a new season. What you receive from me now will be for the building of MY KINGDOM, not mans.

Many of you will be asked to give up homes, and many will receive homes, because your heart has been right and you would take in the homeless, the abandoned, the orphans or widows and care for them. Many will hide My people in times of duress, for anti-semitism is arising on the wings of antichrist. So consider what you hold in your hearts, for where your treasure is, there is your heart. What will you choose, beloveds ? Your conveniences and wealth, or MY KINGDOM ? Many have lived as if I never said that My Kingdom was defined by a narrow road, not the wide. I said FEW find it. FEW FIND IT because they are not willing to give up anything. They are not willing to give up belongings, or conveniences like the rich young man who came to My Son asking what he could do to gain salvation. He was told to sell all he had and to follow HIM, but he was too fond of things. It’s not that many can have things, it is the condition of your heart in having them, or they having you. There is a difference. I did come to give you life and to give it ABUNDANTLY.

But it is to be used as I DIRECT and say. You must learn to love enough to give up something. I gave up My only Begotten SON, yet many of you wouldn’t think to give up anything for the sake of giving to another. My church in America has grown fat and heavy with covetousness and greed, but I AM COMING TO YOU WITH FIRE, AND WITH WIND, AND WITH WAVES OF MY GLORY THAT WILL BLOW AWAY ALL THAT IS NOT OF ME.
GET READY BELOVEDS, for I have tested many and found them wanting. Let not your heart be like Esau’s or Saul’s. Do not hold on to this world for anyone who is a friend of the world is an enemy of Mine.”

In the kingdom business is done by the wisdom, guidance and empowerment of the Lord and King of the entire kingdom through the Holy Spirit. Yes, all the spiritual gifts can flow through the leadership of elders to proclaim and demonstrate the gospel of the kingdom. Funding for all the needs of the kingdom are funneled through the ekklesia business people. The gatherings of worship are held in the structures of homes, businesses facilities, meeting houses, auditoriums, stadiums and all areas of life. The purpose and plans of God are paramount everywhere and the kingdom of God is real and visible to all in every aspect of life. The business of government is provided and funded by godly elders and operates by the love, wisdom and power of God. Love serves.

The next great venue and vehicle of kingdom expansion will be more business and home than religion. The kingdom of God is inseparable from all areas of life in the world and will never again be boxed up in segmented religious structures. God rules.

=================================
As in the days of Moses and Joshua, you have come to the border of the promised land (SURROUNDED BY RAINBOWS). One day Moses called Joshua to an important meeting. "God has told me that my work here on earth is almost finished, Joshua, a new leader will take our people into the promised land. A new leader? Oh, No, Moses. Who could ever take your place? You Joshua!"

The aged leader climbs Mount Nebo and gazes down on the land God has promised His people--and there--alone with God---He dies.

Back in camp, Joshua prays to God for help, and the Lord answers; Be not afraid, for the Lord thy God is with thee.

The Israelites mourn thirty days for Moses. Then Joshua calls a meeting.

The campaigns ahead will be hard and dangerous. But I'll seek God's guidance in everything we do -- in every step.

My modern day Joshua's, those with the Joshua spirit will SEE what is coming as I SEE what is coming. It is as:
YOU
GET
INTO
ME
FULLY .......YOU CAN SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHAT I SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I will be there to GUIDE you thru the dark times ahead.

May I have this dance? Take your EYES and turn your EYES fully....fully....fully upon Me and look into My face....and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the lite of My Glory and grace. sEE what I sEE. >>>>>hERE we go...step-by-step and with each passing moment...
look
SEE
behold
I make all things NEW. There is peace in the valley as My kingdom comes into VIEW.

I am very unsure what to do next, I will try to dance and let him lead.

I feel sorry for those who are enticed in an ungodly way, for it is written:

1 match on DANCE KING LORD

Pss.149
[1] Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
[2] Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
[3] Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
[4] For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
[5] Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
[6] Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
[7] To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
[8] To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
[9] To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

Therefore, walk in righteousness, as it is written:

13 matches. on WALK RIGHTEOUS

1Kgs.3
[6] And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

Pss.15
[2] He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

Pss.23
[4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Pss.89
[15] Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

Prov.2
[7] He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
[20] That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

Isa.42
[5] Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

Bar.2
[10] Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us.

Bar.4
[13] They knew not his statutes, nor walked in the ways of his commandments, nor trod in the paths of discipline in his righteousness.

Luke.1
[6] And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Rom.8
[4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
