I Will Make You Fishers of Men

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Acts 11:21
--
My holy people; I am leading you to a fuller revelation of who I am and My power to work in and through you. This will require a fresh baptism of My Spirit to walk in a fuller revelation of who I am.
Many believe intimacy is everything. This is a commonly held misconception. For those that believe intimacy is everything, they believe My face, not My hand, is needed to lead them into the fullness I have for them to live. How could this be?
Just because you can see and know, does not mean that you will move in My power. You do not need just one part of Me, but you need all of Me. To walk in My fullness, you need My fullness, not just the part you are comfortable with.
I am leading you beyond your comfort zone. Will you follow?
What if you knew how to operate a car, and you saw the car and knew everything about the operation of the car, but then you chose not to use your hands or feet to operate the car. Would it work? Would you be able to drive it? Of course not; so is the operation of My Spirit. You may know and you may see, but until you have My power working, you have nothing. My hand is the operation of My power. Will you allow Me to guide you to not just knowledge, but the working of My power.
Many have been waiting on Me to do something. I tell you the truth, I have been waiting on you. I have told you I would give you My power to do what is needed. I have told you I would never leave you nor forsake you. I tell you, it is time to get up and out of the dry place you have languished in and begin to radically follow Me into the vast harvest fields.
Praying is not everything. Intimacy is not everything. Doing is not everything. Obedience is not everything. Dying is not everything. Living is not everything. The gifts of My Spirit are not everything. The fruit of My Spirit are not everything. The gifts of the Son are not everything. My gifts are not everything. You need My fullness. You need each part. You need every part of Me to do what you can never do on your own.
Allow Me to lead you into a deeper revelation, a deeper walk, with Me. Seek My Face. Call upon My Name. Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men.
November 9, 2008. The Lord says today that you have been faithful in His assignment to you. You have labored and served in honor and integrity. There have been times when you considered quitting but you did not. You have faced very lonely times and often you stood alone to face big issues. But I say unto you, you have been faithful in the little and in the great. You have stood your ground against the enemy of your soul. You have learned his ways and have turned My strategies effectively against this enemy. So, now I have something to tell you. Because of your faithfulness, I will now also be faithful to you. I am opening the windows of Heaven over you and all that concerns you. It is a testimony against powers and principalities in heavenly places. In times when others have lack, you shall have abundance. You will learn quickly now how to operate by the Joseph principle of storing up for hard times. The miracle I shall do is to pour out upon you even when others are in a time of drought and need. They will see what I have done with you. And when the time is right, you will release My blessings to others for the beginning of a great transformation of societies, cities and nations. These things you can write in your book of remembrance for I have spoken them to you today.
Genesis 41:47-49 “During the seven years of plenty the land brought forth abundantly. So he gathered all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and placed the food in the cities; he placed in every city the food from its own surrounding fields. Thus Joseph stored up grain in great abundance like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, for it was beyond measure.” Ras Robinson*
November 9, 2008. Children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are mine and Ras’ greatest treasure and gifts from God, our first priority. We began working with children as our first ministry in Church in our early 20s. God has brought us full circle in helping to educate poor children and working with pastors who have these children in their heart. The Lord says, “Pray and give effort to putting my ways, paths and truth into the coming generations. It is the coming generations who will continue to bring Me to the world. I need those of passion, energy, and righteousness telling of My love, power, and demonstrating a transformed life in the world today.”
Psalms 127:3 “Children are a gift from God they are his reward.” Bev Robinson**

Day Break: Jacob’s Wrestling Is Over
by Sandy Warner
From the rhema journals of Sandy Warner * swauthor@usa.net * www.thequickenedword.com
RHEMA 7/14/08 DAY BREAK: JACOB’S WRESTLING IS OVER
VISION: I saw 3 people in a row eating on a tray made of bread. The bread was about one foot long and it was baked in the shape of a footprint. They were each eating a cup of beans that were on top of the bread tray.
Gen 25:33-34 NKJV
So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
INTERP: This represents a three-fold witness about the Jacob intercession.
HEARD: They are footing go and letting go. Blind.
{footing go = Jacob as a heal gripper}
PIX: I saw someone reach into their wallet and put a bill onto the table. And then they put one dice on top of the bill.
{No more gambling with God’s inheritance and boundaries}
HEARD: It is day break. Fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting.
Gen 32:22-32 NKJV
And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok. 23 He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had. 24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. 25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. 26 And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said,"I will not let You go unless You bless me!"
So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob." 28 And He said,"Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed." 29 Then Jacob asked, saying, "Tell me Your name, I pray." And He said,"Why is it that you ask about My name?" And He blessed him there. 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." 31 Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank, which is on the hip socket, because He touched the socket of Jacob's hip in the muscle that shrank. HEARD: Graduated. Just like that.
OPENED SENSES TANGIBLE: I woke up with the tangible feeling that I was holding a coin between my fingers. It was the size of a dime and I wondered if it was a dime.
=======
UPDATE CONFIRMATION 7/15/08: Steve Thompson spoke tonight on his experience where he had a gold coin in his hand and the Lord told him it was the same coin that came from the fish’s mouth to pay the taxes. He used to have a coin collection and knew this was a PROOF coin. Just like Paul who couldn’t tell, Steve’s experience was so tangible and real he could not tell whether he had the literal experience in his body or spiritual experience. (2 or 12:3) He said just because it is invisible and unseen, doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Faith is the PROOF.
Heb 11:1 AMP
NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things {we} hope for, being the PROOF of things {we} do not see and the conviction of their reality {faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.
I feel that the dime was a token representing the proof of God’s answer to the intercession over the Jacobs.
=======
UPDATE CONFIRMATION 7/15/08: Right after Steve Thompson, the next show on God TV was Dutch Sheets who spoke tonight at the Aligning the Nations conference in Colorado about the Jacob in his ministry and in their movement of the US Apostolic Alliance.
He was very transparent about not measuring up and God talking to him about Jacob. He did so with tears and brokenness. He mentioned appeasing God with our tithes and many other things on Jacob’s personality and how that influences our ministries. When he mentioned the tithe I realized that the tangible dime sized coin I woke up with yesterday morning was PROOF of God’s response to changing the Jacob nature in His people. I was able to see the “proof and confirmation” of the results to the Jacob intercession and how it has prospered thus far.
Gen 32:20-21 NKJV
For he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me." 21 So the present went on over before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
=======
CONFIRMATION QUICKENED QUOTE 7/18/08
A friend told me something she heard from a preacher. She said, “Never trust a minister who does not walk with a limp.” Only those who have been broken have the true understanding and authority to speak God’s heart from having been there.

seek me
by Steven Bliss
Do not grow weary or confused. If you seek me you will find me. I will demonstrate my power and righteousness through those who know me. You will recognize them by the authority and abundance of my love.
Continue to ask me for wisdom, for you shall surely receive it. Spread my truth in love, for there are many who need me. Remove the spiders from your life. Do not ignore them or they will multiply.
Continue listening for me for I am communicating with my creation. Know my love and draw near. Ask me, so I might supply your needs. Nothing shall keep me away from those I love.
Knock down the lies and high places of my enemies. There rebuild my altars for I am holy. I am placing a new mantle about your shoulders. It will conceal a sash of blue and gold. Remain covered in me. Those that are actively seeking me will find me. I will be their great reward.

Kiss The Son
His own
Nov 8 2008 12:59PM
"Why this uproar among the nations?
Why this impotent muttering of pagans,
kings on earth rising in revolt, princes plotting against YAHVEH and HIS ANOINTED.
'Now let us break their fetters !
Now let us throw off their yoke !'
THE ONE Whose Throne is in Heaven
sits laughing, YAHVEH derides them.
Then angrily He Addresses them,
in a rage He strikes them with panic,
'THIS IS MY KING, INSTALLED BY ME ON
ZION, MY HOLY MOUNTAIN'.
Let Me proclaim YAHVEH'S decree;
He Has Told Me, 'YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I
HAVE BECOME YOUR FATHER, ASK AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE NATIONS FOR YOUR HERITAGE, THE ENDS OF THE EARTH FOR YOUR DOMAIN. WITH IRON SCEPTRE YOU WILL BREAK THEM, SHATTER THEM LIKE POTTER'S WARE'.
So now, you kings, learn wisdom,
earthly rulers, be warned;
Serve YAHVEH, Fear Him,
Tremble and Kiss His Feet,
or He Will Be Angry and you will perish,
for His Anger Is very quick to Blaze.
Happy all who take Shelter IN HIM."
(Psalm 2, The Jerusalem Bible)
Shabbat Shalom
This morning as I prepared a meal, for those who will join us on This Shabbat. I looked out the window and there was a beautiful rainbow, A Kiss From my Abba. I went outside and declared The Name Of YAHVEH to the north, south, east, and west. That His Glory Will Be Revealed In All the earth, His Power, His Might, His Will Be Done. And a second rainbow appeared, Another Kiss, A Double Blessing. His Assurance that those who Fear Him, Serve Him and Remain In Him, those who Kiss Him, who bow only to Him and Kiss His Feet, will not only be Happy and receive His Joy, but be Blessed with His Wisdom and His Discernment. And will be Safe In Him and Protected, in the midst of the gross darkness that covers the earth. Fear and trembling, panic and death, is the destiny of those who do not Know YAHVEH and His YAHSHUA.
KISS THE SON, lest He Be Angry and you perish...
