MY TIMING by Karla Hawthorne 11/20 on: Today at 08:55:09am
My Timing
by Karla Hawthorne,
http://imentoru-karla.blogspot.com"Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, for the day of the Lord is at hand. My timing and My will go forth across the land. I now move more quickly then ever before. Rejoice for what now comes is of Me and must be for all things to work together for your good and My will to be done. Fret not at what you see and do not understand, get in the word and keep your feet on solid ground. Understanding will come as needed and joy shall soon flow forth from My cup of gladness."
In that day the people will proclaim, "This is our God. We trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, in whom we trusted. Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings!" Isaiah 25:9

Desire
by Wendy Graham [wengra@sympatico.ca]
I am well pleased with the desire of your heart that you seek Me.
Ask, seek and knock, and I will come in and meet your here. As you
rest in Me, I will cause you to see Me as I really am. A clean hand
and a pure heart will allow you to see My holiness.
I desire that you, My children, seek and know what it is that I will.
I look to and fro, searching for those who long to hear My voice.
When you wait on Me with the anticipation that I see in your heart,
I will surely come. My desire is that you commune with Me.
DO NOT ALLOW THE SPIRIT OF DEATH TO COME UPON YOU by Denise Mears 11/20 on: Today at 08:38:24am

Do not allow the spirit of death to come upon you. He will say that it is too hard; that all has gone haywire. He comes to steal your life, joy, peace and the unique destiny that I have for you. Be vigilant for he seeks to steal, kill and destroy. My Word is clear on this. If you submit yourself to me, he must flee. Be aware of the unseen; be aware of the words of defeat that come upon your mind. Do not think that all thoughts are of me or of your own volition. The adversary continually seeks whom he may devour. The signs are not always bold but subtle to distract from my will.
Call upon me in your time of confusion and fear. Call my name, the name of Jesus, for every knee must bow at that name and satan must flee. Take hold of your rightful place in my Kingdom and command the forces of darkness to loose their hold in my name.
My blood is pure and powerful; plead it over your situation.
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.”
I Peter 5: 6-8
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.”
James 4: 7-8

GO EASY ON YOUR RELATIONSHIPS by Sandy Warner 11/20 on: Today at 08:33:38am
GO EASY ON YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
From the rhema journals of Sandy Warner * swauthor@usa.net * www.thequickenedword.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GO EASY ON YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
When you engage people in conversation or relationship, it should be just like flowing water. Water flows downhill and naturally finds its natural course. When you tell people to reply, ask them to, beg them to, demand them to, pester them to, you end up with a forced relationship. People can only go so far in such a place, before they cry uncle and give up. It takes 2 to have a relationship, not one that is pulling and tugging and doing all the work to keep something going.
When you apply pressure it is the same thing as control. Controlling people is not agape love. God does not demand love or relationship.
Relax a bit and not try so hard, not worry about being rejected, and not push people to respond to you. Try not to worry so much about people's opinions about you or your life, and just enjoy chatting as it comes and goes. Every healthy relationship needs breathing space.
Perhaps do some self introspection and find out why these things seem to be your pattern, and ask the Lord to do some surgery and also healing.
Lord I ask that whatever is inside of us that fears rejection, fears being slighted, fears being isolated or needs people approval will be loosed and set free in Jesus Name. Help us overcome these things and please spotlight them so that we can grow into healthy relationships that are really meaningful. in Jesus Name.
Prov 18:24 NKJV
A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Prov 27:14 NKJV
He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
It will be counted a curse to him.
Prov 27:6 NKJV
Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
SOME TRUST IN CHARIOTS by John Belt 11/20 on: Today at 08:29:55am
John Belt: "Some Trust in Chariots"
by John Belt
Nov 20, 2008
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God." Psalm 20:7
It is in God that we put our trust. He is where we find our rest. All of our hope is in Him and His promises are sure. He will never leave us or forsake us and will keep us as we abide in His love.
"As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love."
John 15:9
Some Trust in Chariots
While many are putting their trust in man for their deliverance, we must realize that our only hope is in the Lord our God. He is the One who dwells in the center, and all things revolve around Him and Him alone. If we will realize this, absorbing this revelation, we can then enter into a place where all that comes at us will also revolve around Him. When we have placed Him at the center of our hearts to reign on the throne of our lives, all things that we face must bow the knee to Him.
"...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on Earth, and of those under the Earth..." Philippians 2:10
We function from another realm entirely that transcends the systems and idolatrous thinking of this world. We will have no other gods before us. It is a sight to see how many on the planet are looking for a person, someone or something to worship, but most refuse to acknowledge the only true God. Many have been caught up in the spirit of the world, sponging in soulish hope that is no hope at all, but simply the slight of deception. Many are looking for someone to lead them because they have lost sight of the Lord.
Just as it was with the children of Israel in the desert, many cry out "if God does not come on our terms we will find something or someone to worship and offer everything to him!" (see Exodus 32:. Of course God never comes on our terms, but does things His way - so He will hand those who rebel against Him over to delusion, giving them over to their sin, iniquity and foolishness (see Romans 1:28). Our hearts must be solidified in the secret place with the Lord. It is only there that we will find true trust, commitment and security in the Lord (see Psalm 91).
Positioned to Praise
With all the transition happening in the earth, those who are positioned in praise before God will be the ones that glow with the glory from His throne. Praise is where our victory lies (see Psalm 22:3). We need to know and experience the spiritual realities of the Kingdom of Heaven in our hearts daily. Praise brings us into such a place where we can experience the power of His love at all times.
God inhabits the praises of His people. We must be reminded of this daily in an experiential way, not just in Word. This requires us to set our hearts and minds in His direction. Our focus needs to be set upon Him, to glorify Him. As we do we will experience victory in our spirit.
Another factor to be aware of is the "noise" level in our souls. If we have a high noise level and have a hard time finding peace, our praise can be just "more noise." We should be asking the Lord to quiet the noise of our heart, anxiousness, frustrations, opinions and all the other stuff that clogs our connection with God.
Once you have pinpointed these things, offer them to the Lord, casting all of them before Him. We should divest ourselves of all concern, asking for His grace to do so. Then begin to lift our voices in praise, clapping our hands and dancing. There is a freedom in being able to worship in this way.
"The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever" Isaiah 32:17. When this is combined with a "noiseless" soul, there can be deeper experiences with the Lord where the glory of His Presence is like a thick saturation through our beings.
In all these changes going on we need to remind ourselves that nothing is too difficult for the Lord. It is His glory to come in the difficult times and bring breakthrough and blessing, which makes our faith in Him that much stronger. This is really where the rubber meets the road and our faith is tested true as gold. In this place His glory shines the brightest.
"His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. His brightness was like the light; He had rays flashing from His hand, and there His power was hidden."Habakkuk 3:3-4
Brightness is the place He desires to bring His people. He wants our faces to be radiant with His Presence, peace and love. Our connection with Him is solidified as we draw near to Him with pure hearts knowing that only He has the solutions of our days. What is impossible for man is possible with God. This is His delight, to show Himself strong on behalf of His people.
Working All Things Together
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
We also must remind ourselves that God has a "no-fail" plan. We have the best plan imaginable because no matter what - all things work together for the good to them that love God and are the called according to His purposes. As long as we align ourselves with His heart and desires we cannot go wrong.
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." John 15:6-8
He is always there as our Father to see that the best comes out of every circumstance and situation. God is always reminding us of promises like these so that we can always stay in a place of faith and expectancy in what He will do. He is continually drawing us saying, "My child, come to Me and I will be your reward and meet your every need." He is not a father who would leave us. He will never leave us nor forsake us but will be with us in all places wherever we go.
Finding His Rest
"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:29
Answers will many times evade us and this is why He entreats us not to seek the answers, but to seek Him. When we find Him we find rest for our souls. As we give Him the firstfruits of our time, He will reward us with the rest that can come no other way. If peace has been lost it is only because we have lost Him. He never leaves us.
He is always right there. To find the rest that He gives the connection must be restored. When this is restored there is a continual flow of His Spirit to water the earth of our hearts. His waters tenderize us and cause us to let all concerns fall away.
"Thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'Concerning the words which you have heard - because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you,' says the LORD." 2 Chronicles 34:26-27
This life is a vapor and worry will only steal the goodness of God that is available to us as His family. His rest is our inheritance and leads us to a place of faith. It is His rest that awaits us in His living room. He is always ready and willing to minister His life to us.
Worship in the Glory!

SON OF MAN, HEAR THIS...by Joe Schlosser 11/20 on: Today at 08:26:46am
Son of Man, hear this ...
Joe Schlosser
Nov 20 2008 08:07AM
"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. (18) When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin and I will hold you accountable for his blood Ezekiel 3: 17-18 NIV
A watchman's job was to stand on the city wall and warn the people of approaching danger. Ezekiel's role was to be a spiritual watchman, warning the people of the judgment to come. In these verses God is not talking about loss of salvation but of physical death. If the people back in Judah continued in their sins, they and their land and cities would be destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar's armies. If on the other hand, the people would turn to God, God would spare them. God would hold Ezekiel responsible for his fellow Jews if he failed to warn them of the consequences of their sins.
All people are individually responsibe to God, but believers have a special responsibility to warn unbelievers of the consequences of rejecting God. If we fail to do this, God will hold us responsible to what happens to them. This should motivate us to begin sharing our faith with others -- by both word and deed -- and to avoid becoming callous or unconcerned in our attitudes. How does this truth make you feel right now? Have you been the watchman on the wall with your friends and family, or the one asleep on the wall? Take heed, this is a word from God for us all to move out and share His Good News with those who are in desperate need of God's love and truth during these turbulant financial times. Do not wait ... share your faith now!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Father God, I confess that at times, I look the other way and do not engage in the hard, uncomfortable conversations you ask me to have with unbelievers. But I thank You Lord for Your faithfulness on this, forgive my lack of faith in You, in Your Word. For I can do all things in Chirst Jesus who strengthens me. Lord, give me the words to speak to someone today - for life, for encouragement, for salvation. Put me back on the wall O God and sharpen my eyesight! Touch my lips with Your burning coals and may Your Holy Spirit flow through me today. In Jesus name, amen.

A VERY SHORT TIME OF TRANSITION by Marsha Burns 11/20 on: Today at 08:23:27am

You are beginning to emerge into a new level of experience and, at the same time, you will be aware that your are being suddenly and strangely distanced from the past. This will be a very short time of transition, but you will need to keep moving forward regardless of how awkward or difficult it seems. Take one day at a time and one step at a time until you achieve a place of confidence and comfort. Know that I will guide you in these unknown places, says the Lord.
Psalms 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
