All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.
You all know what I mean. Sometimes you just need help. You come across a problem that you just haven't figured out how to handle yet. And it seems like you have reached a wall. That is when you have to stop…commit it to the Lord… and let Him have a chance to lead you. (Proverbs 16:3) Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. He is your leader, your helper, your strength, your courage, and your friend. (Psalms 46:1) ...God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. He is your MOUNTAIN MOVER! That MOUNTAIN WAS MADE FOR MOVING! No matter how big the problem seems to have gotten in your mind, lets chop it down to size.
First of all, God is bigger than any problem which may present it ugly head. God is bigger than all your bills. God is bigger than all the disobedience you have seen around you by your children. God is bigger than the mountain of work you have to do right now. God is bigger than that one who has been coming against you for no reason. GOD IS BIGGER! With every faith comment that you make your mountain gets smaller. The problem isn't the mountain---your thinking about that mountain is either your problem or your answer… It is your choice.
Mountains were made for moving. Let me explain just how this happened. You attacked the problem with your own strength. It is that simple. When a problem comes us, stop…. Now wait a second… and allow God to take it and guide your steps. Thank Him for guiding your steps and thoughts. Pray about it… Find your promise about it… Feed on that promise about it… Speak that promise about it… Thank God for the answer to the promise about it… Now honestly, did you do that first? Maybe you did… Sometimes even when you do that, you pick it back up (in your mind). You think "How am I going to manage this?" There is your key to the mountain problem right here. The big "I" is it. You aren't going to deal with it. God is. He is your help…your defense… He is your everything.
He told us to " Say unto the mountain" and it would move. But when we have thought on the problem and not on the answer, then the mountain grew and grew until we didn't have faith to move it. (Mark 11:23) For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Yes, you have to speak to activate the Word of God, but only the Word you believe you activate. It has to be in faith. God is moved by faith, not fear. (Romans 10:17)Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. You get faith from knowing what God has to say about it, not the natural way or your circumstances. You will have faith for whatever you have been dwelling on. Faith or fear… which is it?
The thoughts that you allow to stay will produce. Let's change our thinking. (Proverbs 23:7) For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he… He will keep you in peace if your mind is directed properly… Isaiah 26:3) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. You will find yourself acting on whatever you allow to stay in your thinking.
Kenneth Hagin, Sr used to say, "You can't stop the birds from flying over, but you don't have to let them build a nest in your hair."
Repent from your worry and fear and get back in faith. Act on this word. Find your promise for your circumstance and pray about it in faith. Then thank God for the answer. Then give it to Him. He is well able. And as Caleb said when giving His Godly report, "We are well able to overcome it." Tell yourself and the devil, "I am well able to over come this."
------It is the truth, You know!
(Numbers 13:30) And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. Let there be light: and there was light. The Bright and morning Star would choose to lite My Way! Star of the morning.....Beautiful Saviour, Wonderful Counselor, the way, the truth and life. Beautiful risen One! Clothed in Majesty, Glorious in Holiness.
Heavens Champion.
You Reign over all - where Glory never fades. The Shepherds are led by a star in the sky. The baby Jesus is the reason for the season. He is the lite that shines on our life. May we all rejoice.
We are in God's Victorious Army! Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Past tense: we may have lost some battles, but we knew we would win the War. Right NOW the Lord is saying to us.
My CHAMPION WARRIORS: Burst forth. Burst forth like a football team entering the stadium to play in the championship super bowl game. This is your time. This is your hour. NOW! NOW! NOW is the time. I have trained you in warfare! NOW it is the time to USE IT! You are hearing. You are hearing this new drum beat in the earth - the beating to the sound of WAR - war in the heavenlies. You are in my army marching with truth and Holiness. Glory, Glory hallelujah, My Truth is marching on. Holiness unto me is your watchword and song. And the banner over you is LOVE.
Even your past mistakes are helping you now, as all things work together for good to those who love me and are called according to my purpose. Your strength is coming from my mighty power within you. And you are putting on all of my armor and you are learning to stand safe against all strategies and tricks of Satan. Yes, you are using every piece of my armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing up.
The baby Jesus is the reason for the season. He is the lite that shines on our life. May we all rejoice.
Holy nite! The stars are brightly shining. Jesus appears/a thrill of hope and a new and glorious morn. Oh nite divine when Christ was born. The weary world rejoices--a new and glorious morn.
Son of God appears!
Rejoice. Driving away shades of grey.
With oil in our lamp and fire in our eyes>>>>Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and over the dales. For all to see, there is a star. Born is the King of Israel.
By the lite of that same star the wise men came to seek and follow the star wherever it went.
Holy Father you have come to give us your Son. Jesus says, I am the light of the world.
Father of lites.
Shine down on me.
Let the people see
that in your presence
darkness flees!
Breath of heaven,
lighten my darkness
pour over me your holiness, for you are Holy. Be forever near me.
Breath of Heaven.
Mary did you know that your baby boy would walk on water, and give sight to the blind? The blind will see, the deaf will hear. Mary did you know that your baby boy will rule the nations, the Great I AM.
The stars in the brite sky look down at Jesus on the hay. Be near me, Lord Jesus and love me, I pray. Take us to heaven to live with theee there.
In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprended it not. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the lite we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is past, and the true lite now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knowth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
HIS LOVE IS HIGHER THAN THE MOUNTAIN.
His love is deeper than the sea.
I'm so glad I love Jesus. And I'm so glad Jesus loved me. It's more precious than silver. It's more precious than gold. That love of Jesus it made me happy in my soul.
I'll keep from darkness, I was set free from sin. I was led to the light by the nail-scarred hand. Then I was filled with the precious Holy Ghost. And He brought a joy in my life. Like I've never had before.
But He's God of the stars, the suns and the seas and He is your Father: He can calm the storm and He'll find some way to fix this for you. He's still God and He will not fail you.
Yes, it is so hard ---
He did not even spare His own Son

Beloved, I am the God of freedom. I have already declared freedom in you and over you, but you must receive it and walk by faith in the freedom that I have already purchased for you. Right now you are walking by faith, and that is good. But I want you to know, deep down in your heart, that you will soon walk in the full manifestation of My freedom in every area of your life–for by My blood you are free!
I have set you free from worry, and I have set you free from fear. I am at work in the lives of those around you to break off wrong mindsets concerning you, that you might be free to do all that I have destined you to do. Yes, My beloved, I want you to walk in the freedom of Who I am in the fullest.Live and walk in My freedom, for this is My perfect will for you.
Call to Me. Now is not the time to be silent. Call out to Me, expecting
that I will answer. Reach out for what I have shown you. I am reigning
out freedom, a release from expectations. I am releasing an overflowing
peace to those who draw near. Focus upon Me.
Do not hesitate. Do not be self-conscious, but come closer to Me. Allow
Me to lead you by My Spirit. I am about to mow down all things standing
in My way. Believe that I will answer you, and receive your healing. I
am washing away doubt, replacing it with wisdom and revelation.
“Listen. Listen quietly from within. Do you hear MY Voice speaking ever so gently, prepare the way of the LORD? Prepare the way for HIM to come and abide. For HIM to come and consume the vessel as a living sacrifice unto HIM and all HIS Kingdom….
Listen. Do you hear the heartbeat of the FATHER beating within your spirit making melody of unison? Listen as the HOLY ONE is redirecting and rearranging the priorities and paths you are to take. Listen and once you have heard, obey. This is not a season of procrastination but a season of moving forth quickly with the sound of HIS Voice, the heartbeat of HIS Heart, the Will of the FATHER.
Do not stand about as if you have been left desolate. For MY SPIRIT has been given unto you to lead, teach and guide you into all Truth. Time is of the essence and the enemy is releasing his best to try to get you to forfeit your destiny in ME. Listen, obey, repent. Do not leave any foothold within for the enemy to enter“.
I want to talk to you today about mayhem. I want you to know, beloved, that I am quite capable of righting the mayhem in your life. Depend on Me to do it. Depend on Me for setting all that is topsy-turvy in your life to right.
I am a good God, with a strong purpose. That purpose will be carried out according to My will. You will see it done. You will know the wonder of your God as I right those wrongs in your life that have had you perplexed and distraught. Depend on Me to present My best. Depend on Me to show you the mighty favor that rests on your life.
I want you to know, dear one, that times will be coming when you will think that anarchy has set in, set in BIG time. Well, know this now: The living God is well aware of all that is taking place. He knows the ins and outs of every situation. I understand the working of man’s mind. I understand what makes man tick. Know this: What I will present will set all that has caved in back to its original order. Know also that those things that you have depended on will no longer have favor in your eyes, for your God is showing His power, might, and strength in your lives. The focus will be on Me. The cry of your heart will be to serve Me, looking to Me to show you the wonders of My grace toward you, toward mankind.
I want you to know, beloved, that the word “mayhem” is going to take on a new meaning soon, for you will be experiencing it firsthand. Know that I am with you. I am righting those wrongs that have caused distress in your lives, and it is the desire of My heart to set all to right, to set all according to the way I created it to be.
So look to the future with much anticipation, knowing that your God has a plan and He will carry it through. Yes! That will be a good thing for you to meditate upon as the days of mayhem arrive, arrive upsetting man’s ways, and offering a new hour of wonder and delight to all who will look to the holy One, the One Who is just and true!!!
HEARD: We will enjoy another translation.
PIX: I saw a little girl about 8 years with long pig tails and she had a fun smile on her face. She was bouncing a big ball.
HEARD (on the way to church): Grace yourselves.
QUICKENED MEMORY: I knew this was a word pun, because I had heard a while back, Brace yourselves. And that was a time of needing to withstand.
PREPRAYER MEETING
CONFIRMATION: I noticed our associate pastor prayed great grace and called down grace to walk in the Lord’s footsteps.
PROPHETIC ACT: The intercessor next to me borrowed my rain jacket to cover her knees.
INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES: I received an interpretation of one small word in tongues that the intercessor next to me spoke. It was, Knee Deep.
EXPERIENCE: At the same time I heard her say knee deep, my right knee started to tingle down to my foot.
IMPRESSION: The waters of the Spirit are now knee deep.
Ezek 47:1-6 NKJV
Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right side. 3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to my ankles. 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to my knees . Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed.
As I was pondering if this meant the Lord wanted to heal from the knees down tonight, He dropped into mind the following scripture:
QUICKENED SCRIPTURE:
Heb 12:12-13 NKJV
Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
HAPPY SURPRISE! I glanced at the lap of the same intercessor next to me and her Bible was so easy, and my pocket PC was buried in my purse so I asked her if I could borrow it to look up the scripture. She said it was Amplified and I said that was OK. My eyes popped out when I read the scripture!
Heb 12:12-13 AMP
So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees, [Isa 35:3.] And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction], so that the lame and halting [limbs] may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured.
WORD: This intercessor reached out and placed her hand on my spine and said the Lord is placing a steel rod up your spine. (She did not know what scripture I was reading.) As I was pondering what it meant, I felt that it was a corporate Word for the body.
CONFIRMATION: Later after we waited upon the Lord and shared what we had heard, one of the intercessors heard, Spiritual scoliosis. And he saw walking skeletons and then saw steel rods being placed along their spines so they could walk straight and upright.
UPDATE DOUBLE HAPPY SURPRISE CONFIRMATION 4/15/08: Sometimes I am not able to type in rhema and get caught up until a few days afterwards, especially on busy church weekends. I was so tickled to find out I’d heard just hours before the prayer meeting. She must have been one of the angels at the prayer meeting and the Lord was telling me ahead of time about His happy surprise of the AMP version and the whole Word He gave in regards to it.
HEARD: We will enjoy another translation.

WORD TO PONDER: BRACING YOU WITH GRACE 4/12/08
It is time to brace you with grace. After having been through a time of rebuke and chastisement, you have realigned with My Word, and it is time to fortify your walk. Beloved, I AM pouring My grace into you to strengthen those places where you once walked crooked, bent over, and tottered. No more wavering, halting, or drooping.
Yes correction does cause a momentary halt. But I have not meant for you to live there. Rather I want you healed and cured and walking in confidence of My favor, My love, and My grace that is liberally poured out on your life. I have gone before you and made your crooked places smooth, I have brought down your high places and now I want to raise your valleys. My glory shall be revealed when the path in your life is My path.
Heb 12:12-13 AMP
So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees, [Isa 35:3.] And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction], so that the lame and halting [limbs] may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured.
Isa 40:3-5 NKJV
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."
Isa 35:8 AMP
And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayfaring men, yes, the simple ones and fools, shall not err in it and lose their way.
”Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances…” [1 Thessalonians 5:16]
Around the nation and around the world God’s people are praying…on their knees, on their jobs, on the road, in their homes, in our churches, in the courtrooms, in the halls of education and in their hearts they are praying. No law, no language, no lofty level of intellect can stop the born again believer from prayer—even those not knowing God—nothing can stop the nature of the created from crying out to the creator!
“Not by might, nor by power but by my Spirit…” [Zechariah 4:6] the plan and purposes of God reveal His Sovereignty as Job said, “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.” [Job 42:2]
Rejoice… God has His ways and mean committee, even when you are too weak, too down, too distraught, too depressed, too distracted… God has a people praying—He has laid you on the heart of those who are strong for such a time as this. For protection, for provision, for perseverance, for peace… somebody somewhere is praying for you!
Someone, somewhere is praying for you—to hold you up and bring you through. Though you are weak and weary in heart someone, somewhere is doing their part. OUR Father has planned, the provision is made to draw you close and the battle is stayed. Unseen to the eye, unheard it is true but the cry of a heart moves heaven for you!
