~Invasion Of Love~
"By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:35
And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:3
The world is waiting not for a political shift, an economic shift, or even a geological shift. All may occur, and in fact will occur... but the greatest most powerful shift that will take place in the world has nothing to do with the worlds' systems. It has to do with a paradigm shift in the church that releases the greatest and most profound change the earth has ever seen.
The Father is releasing authority in the direction of Love. Where Love prevails... the Father manifests His Presence. Where Love abounds... the Holy Spirit reigns in freedom. Where Love is demonstrated to the world... the people fall in love with the Lover of their souls... and the power to transform a body, a life, a family, a community, and a nation has begun to infiltrate, infect, and mesmerize a world with the awesome reality of the real Jesus!
Around the world this explosion of apostolic love is sweeping millions of people into the Kingdom of God... New England... and this nation is no different. Nothing prevails against love. Nothing is more dramatic and powerful than the Love of Jesus flowing through His children.

http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=me...roupID=IT00OBLV I read this in one of the many catalogs I got this Christmas and I loved this quote when I read it. I thought this is the way we Christians should live our lives ….
LIFE is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out and proclaiming, “WOW, WHAT A RIDE!”
Beloved, it is your faithfulness and obedience that will open the door to blessings in My kingdom, says the Lord. Be diligent to do all that I ask. Be wise with what I have given you, and seek Me for wisdom and good counsel. I will reveal My purposes to you in all things if you will ask. And, I will guide you in the way of prosperity when you yield to My directives.
Luke 12:42-44 And the Lord said, "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has."
dominion – power, authority, control, command, say-so, domination, dominance
My dominion has no end, says the Lord God Almighty. My dominion is from everlasting to everlasting. Take note of these words. Take them into your heart. Know that you, My beloved, are on the winning team. You are on the team of the One Who conquered for your benefit, in order for you to rise up in the knowledge of My love for you and walk with undaunted success.
I am the Lord God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. My power is endless. It is a power unbeknownst to man, for it is the power of the almighty Creator. Look on it as such. Look on it as a gift to mankind through My birth, death, and resurrection, and know, dearest heart, that My success is something for you to enjoy – something in which you may revel, for the Lord God Almighty delights in you, delights in seeing you prosper in Him, and is moving you forward into your everlasting hope where My strength and power will shine forth forever, lighting your eternity for your enjoyment and for the enjoyment of the holy One Who calls you His own!!!

The Lord has had me studying Zechariah since November 18Th (2006). Today is December 4Th (2006) and I am still on Chapter 1 - specifically verses 4 through 17 (Zechariah's first vision), and this morning from 2:00 A.M. on, specifically verses 12 through 17, which involve the intercession of the angel of the Lord with the Lord (Jesus with God the Father) (vs 12); the response of the Lord (vs 13), and the commission of the prophet (vs 14-17). Also in verses 9, 13 and 14, you will see the person of the Holy Spirit (here represented with "the angel that talked with me/the angel that communed with me")
Zechariah 1
The depth of understanding afforded here is amazing...for example, verse 12 records the wonderful truth of the doctrine of intercession of Jesus Christ on our behalf. But specifically in respect to that which the Lord has asked me to speak of THIS DAY: it also precisely reveals the three persons of the Godhead interacting with each other (if you ever need scriptural Old Testament proof of the 3-In-1 Trinity you will find it in these verses) and the clear parallel to Holy Spirit Himself.
(1) GOD the FATHER (Lord, vs 10; Lord of Hosts, vs 12; Lord, vs 13)
(2) GOD the SON (a man riding upon a red horse, vs 8; the man that stood among the myrtle trees, vs 11; the angel of the Lord, vs 12)
(3) GOD the HOLY SPIRIT (my Lord, vs 9; the angel that talked with me, vss 9, 13; the angel that communed with me, vs 14)
In these scripture passages, the one delivering the prophet's commission on behalf of the Lord (vs 13) is the angel that communed with me. He ministers both on behalf of the angel of the Lord (Second Person Of The Trinity = Jesus, vs 9, 12a) AND the Lord of Hosts/Lord (First Person of the Trinity=God the Father, vs 12-13) thus this angel is subservient to both as Holy Spirit is to the Father and Son. This angel is both channel and interpreter of revelation - also ministries which are clearly performed by Holy Spirit.He sustains a close and personal relationship with the man of God (prophet) and enables him to understand what God has revealed.
There is much you can learn from these verses. As He was sharing with me, I began to weep and apologized to Holy Spirit for not pursuing Him more (no, I am not saying that I haven't not pursued Him at all...I said MORE). As a Jewish girl I came to know The Lord Of Hosts/God The Father/Abba intimately. When I got saved, Jesus called me unto Himself to become His personal handmaiden. I haven't NOT paid attention to Holy Spirit, but it has been a hunger in my heart to really KNOW HIM. Last night that hunger was almost tangible - and I asked Him to forgive me and to also give me deeper revelation of Himself.
As I was asking this, the Lord said, "ALL OF MY BODY needs to cry out for deeper intimacy with My Spirit. ALL OF MY BODY needs to start respecting the "office" of Holy Spirit and not only press in to know HIM INTIMATELY but also to seek HIM OUT according to those things that I sent Him to do. For My body would have much deeper understanding of the revelations of My kingdom if they would but go to Holy Spirit to whom understanding is granted to be given unto you." (2:50 A.M. - 2:52 A.M.)
At 2:54 A.M. in the seer realm, the Lord showed me Holy Spirit in the picture of a loyal and faithful servant - He had a gentle face and soft smile, yet a face that displayed much wisdom. He was standing constantly at attention, just beside me, and that which the Lord spoke unto me to describe Him showed Him as like a butler - I saw Him with a tray upon which He holds all the wisdom, knowledge, revelation from the Father and Son - ready to serve it unto us quietly, patiently, faithfully.
He then had me get out my 'prophetic' dictionary and look up the following:
butler= the head male servant in a household, in charge of the pantry
pantry= a small room in which the food, dishes, silverware, or table linen is kept
food = anything that plants, animals, people eat, drink, taste or take in THAT MAKES THEM LIVE AND GROW; anything that causes growth (3:03 A.M.)
At 3:25 A.M. the Lord gave me a message for America (which can not yet be released).
He then told me to read a book about Holy Spirit (3:44 A.M.) which I have no idea WHEN it entered my library - but truly it sat upon the shelf with many other anointed books until the appointed time for me to begin reading them -the exact right time - which was this morning.
The Lord said unto me,
"I save My best wine until last - THESE ARE THE DAYS - NOW IS THE TIME - of the best wine. Tell My beloved ones that they NEED TO EXPERIENCE HOLY SPIRIT INTIMATELY, PERSONALLY - EACH DAY. For truly HE IS A PERSON and My Son assigned Him unto you as helper. He represents Us. He breathes life into all of My plans, without drawing attention to Himself (confirmation of the quiet butler-servant image! - 4:03 A.M.). He reveals MY THOUGHTS to you and your thoughts unto Me. He is the One who fills human vessels with My revelation. He sets My divine power in motion. Many wonder WHY the church (especially in America) is so powerless. (I heard Jesus say "Got Power???" 4:07 A.M.)"
(
At 4:14 A.M. the Lord Jesus spoke, "Tell them to let Holy Spirit orchestrate their wilderness experiences that they will not emerge until they are FULLY PREPARED, READY, emerging in profound power to preach, to teach, to heal, to deliver. For it is Holy Spirit that leads you into truth and shows you things to come (John 16:13). When I came out of the wilderness (John 4:14) even I CAME OUT in Holy Spirit's POWER! Beloved, to COME OUT IN POWER you must first let Him lead you INTO the wilderness (4:12 A.M.). For TRULY His anointing was upon Me - I overcame temptation IN HIS POWER and IN THAT SAME POWER I began to minister on My Father's behalf ALSO MARKED BY PREACHING AND TEACHING, with signs, wonders, miracles, healings and deliverance FOLLOWING! Yea, you CANNOT PERFORM ANY MIRACLES APART FROM HOLY SPIRIT'S POWER. And I warn you: DO NOT GET TO KNOW HIM FOR THE PURPOSE OF USING HIM TO GAIN POWER FOR THE SAKE OF POWER - HE KNOWS YOUR HEART AND REVEALS YOUR HEARTS UNTO ME (4:18 A.M.) ASK Him to fill you with the hunger to WANT to get to know Him (for Himself!) and to reveal the motives of your heart in doing so, that it shall be pure! (4:19 A.M.)"
In John 14:16, Jesus said (paraphrased) 'I'm going to ASK the Father to give you Holy Spirit'. As He had me study it out He said that ASK is a strong legal word - meaning Jesus was saying, "I have a legal right to ask the Father to give you Holy Spirit. Then He pointed out that HE SAID TO US, "ASK" in His name? (John 14:13: And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; John 14:14: If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.) As the Father gave Jesus the right to ASK, so Jesus gave unto US the LEGAL RIGHT TO ASK FOR MORE of HOLY SPIRIT! 4:26 A.M.
While Jesus was ministering upon this earth, He did those things the Father showed Him ONLY WITH THE HELP OF HOLY SPIRIT.
Jesus lay down His life ONLY THROUGH THE POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT
Jesus was raised from the dead ONLY BY THE POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT
Holy Spirit wanted to relay the following:
"I DWELL WITH YOU...I COMMUNICATE WITH YOU - I desire to help you by becoming intimately involved in every aspect of your life" (4:22 A.M.)
The VERY BEST GIFT Jesus could give us to help us succeed in this walk is Holy Spirit.
The FATHER'S VERY BEST GIFT WAS HIS SON JESUS
The SON'S VERY BEST GIFT WAS HIS HOLY SPIRIT (4:23 A.M.)
His (Holy Spirit's) VERY CALLING is to COME ALONGSIDE OF US AND HOLD ONTO US. TO BRING US THROUGH THE TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS OF LIFE. (4:33 A.M.)
He is a person, CALLED TO BE WITH EACH OF US AS LONG AS WE LIVE...
He will abide with you and with me FOREVER (John 14:16)
The Father and His Son are admonishing all of us to stop ignoring the PERSON OF HOLY SPIRIT - He is NOT A BIRD HE IS A PERSON. YOU WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE THE FULLNESS OF ALL THAT THE LORD HAS ORDAINED AND PROMISED FOR THESE, THE LAST HOURS, IF YOU CONTINUE TO IGNORE, REJECT, FORGET ABOUT THE PERSON OF HOLY SPIRIT. It has gone too long that He has been neglected by the Body of Christ. NO LONGER.
Who has ears let him hear what the Spirit saith...
As The Lord Speaks Via His Messenger
December 4Th, 2006 2:00 A.M. - 4:33 A.M.
"This is the reason - they do not have a relationship with My Spirit...do not intimately know Him. From the moment Holy Spirit came upon My Son Jesus at His baptism, He was anointed with power that HAD NO LIMITATION. (John 3:34)It is to be the same with you. DO YOU KNOW HIM???(4:08 A.M.)
NOTE FROM HIS MESSENGER: As I was doing the news late on 12/03/06 before going to our secret place to study and receive all of this, the Lord had shown me many stories about the weekend snowstorm - many headlines said "Midwest still powerless" or "Thousands powerless in Missouri" - He said loudly "they are POWER-less" -- yet MORE CONFIRMATION before He even started speaking to me about Holy Spirit)
1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
2 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
7 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
15 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

"There will be an unfolding of many things through the Christmas season that will cause volcanic eruptions."
No
My Kingdom is About to Appear
"There is a light coming to this nation like never before, and it is going to destroy the darkness in this nation. The Spirit of Elijah is upon the children of this generation, and they will not tolerate the prophets of Baal, they will strike down the darkness by building the alter of the Lord in this nation," says the Spirit of the Lord.
The Spirit of God says, "Watch over the Christmas season, for there shall be the igniting of fires. The summer and the heat shall go through to November, this was a sign to My people that I am causing things to accelerate. I'm causing everything to multiply, so that you may have access into the better things of the kingdom of darkness, for they have ruled for too long.
"My Kingdom is about to appear. Yes, it's about to appear as it appeared to Daniel; as it appeared to Joseph; as it appeared to Isaiah; as it appeared to Enoch. Four great anointings are coming unto the earth. I will give you access to the market place. Acceleration has begun; I am hastening My Word to perform it, and you will not have to wait much longer," says the Spirit of God.
Iran...Kings of Babylon
"Iran, do not arise any further. Let not they who call themselves the kings of Babylon, arise any further lest the Lord Himself remind them of the disposition of their forefathers, Darius and Nebuchadnezzar. Would you be mad to eat the grass and the hay for seven years?"
The Spirit of God says, "For seven years, I will cause madness and blindness upon the regions and the nations that would rise up with murder and hate against children and against women. It is the children and the women that I am going to rise up to do this thing. They have said, 'We will take them during their celebration of their Christmas or their Christ.'"
God says, "Watch Me, for these things that have been plotted and planned shall come to nothing, for I will do as I did to their forefathers, and I will give them nightmares. I will show them the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords in their dreams as I showed the Pharaohs, as I showed Darius, and as I showed Nebuchadnezzar, I will show them in nightmares and dreams that there is only one answer."
"They will be afraid. Once again, as I raised up The Passion of the Christ, so I will raise up another movie that will go into the Middle East, and they will flock, and they will say, 'We have heard of the Christ the first time, but the second time we must receive Him,' for the Spirit of Christ shall go there," says the Spirit of the Lord.
"They shall return to Me," says the Lord. "They shall say, 'We are Messianic Jews,' but they shall come and dance in the streets of Jerusalem again."
There is No Nation I Cannot Take
God says, "There is no nation that I cannot take in a day if I wish. You listen to your news media, and you are fearful. I have not given unto you a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, power, and a sound mind. I'm listening to a sound mind in praise; I'm listening for power in praise. I'm listening for love in your praise."
God says, "The perfect love of God casts out all fear. There is no nation that I cannot take. There is no atheist that I cannot take. There is no religious force that I cannot take. There is no culture that I cannot take. I told Abraham to come out of the Chaldees, and I made him the father of faith. I can take somebody from Babylon and make them fathers of faith."
They are Looking for the Signs
"When all has been subtracted from you, I can turn it into a multiplication, and I will."
"Do not say this is the worst time in American history, for it shall be turned to the greatest time in your world history," says the Spirit of God. "Will you allow Me to take Nations from this nation? When everything looks at its worst, I can turn it around and make it the best. When all has been subtracted from you, I can turn it into a multiplication, and I will."
God says, "You have every Babylonian nation staring once again, but they are not staring at Democrats or Republicans, they are staring for the Spirit of Daniel. They are afraid that a David might arise, they are afraid that someone may come forth from the prison like Joseph and arise. They are looking for the signs of a David emerging, they are looking for the signs of an Isaiah, of a Daniel, of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego emerging. Once again, Babylon will be invaded by the power of the Living God."
An Unfolding of Many Things through the Christmas Season
"This is Your Year of Jubilee"
The Spirit of God says, "It is My desire and My intention to take unnecessary debt away from My people. It shall come to pass that in the New Year, supernatural intervention shall drive you," says the Lord. "This is your year of Jubilee."
God says, "There will be an unfolding of many things through the Christmas season that will cause volcanic eruptions." The Spirit says, "There will be eruptions of a great kind, where the Kingdom has been stifled by men's blindness, because sight has come, and men have seen the glory of the King."
God says, "A spirit of acceleration shall bring about rapidly, like a volcano--wondrous things from My Spirit. I have chosen things every month of next year--every month to come to you as a treasure." God says, "There will be one breakthrough for every person that has seen and perceived the glory of God's Kingdom. I will give you one miracle a month," says the Spirit of the Living God.
"In your Christmas, I shall bring something during that season to this nation, and to the nations that have cried out." God says, "Do not say that Christmas is not the celebration day. This Christmas, I will bring about changes so massive, that the Church shall no longer even look like the Church has looked before. I will invade the marketplace. I will take Texas, and I will honor you. I will buckle the Bible belt again, and bring honor back to you," says the Lord.
7 PROPHECY: / Visions and Dreams / DREAM FOR THE CHURCH by Thea Anderson 12/5 on: Today at 07:34:48am
I believe this is a warning dream of a storm raging against the church which we know is coming, and God is telling us to pray. pris
Dear Pris,
i had a dream this morning and i believe it is for the church. the church was on top of a mountain.
[mountains symbolize authority - true or false]
i was in a big church and for some reasons we had to pull chains from the front all the way to the back on the sides of the church. The church was full of people, the chains were long and very heavy , it took many people to be able to pull them. i was at the front of the chains going towards the lobby and i heard a woman say something about not wanting to be invoved in the chains.
[ chains represent captivity and it would seem from this it will take many to help remove
the captivity the church is in, for it is very heavy laden.]
When i got out to the lobby it was all glass
and i looked up and there was a huge twister brewing overtop the church.
[cyclone or tornado =distress, great trouble, swift change, sudden disaster ]
when we were in the lobby , we were supposed to intercede , about the storm.
There was also a person sitting at a weather station in the lobby monitoring the storm, it was huge and it was on top of us.
[ Lord is in charge of everything - He is monitoring it all, sees all ]

Clean hands. Keep your heart pure and your hands clean during these important days. Surely you know what makes your hands dirty. And surely you know when your hands have become dirty. I say unto you, wash your hands in the pure and holy water of My word. Bathe yourself from head to toe in My holy water. Dedicate each part of yourself to Me all over again. Declare your love and devotion to Me as if you have never done it before. Let Me speak to you of My love reserved in care of your name. Come now and let us walk together on the highway of holiness. This road is above all the rest where darkness dwells. Let us begin. Clean hands.
Job 17:9 "Nevertheless the righteous shall hold to his way, and he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger
Morning by Morning, Tuesday 12-5-06 -- "Extraordinary Miracles"
Good morning, Lord Jesus. I offer my life a sacrifice. Fill me with Your Spirit, lead me in Your ways, send me in Your will. ...
"God did extraordinary miracles through Paul" (Acts 19:11).
Paul was just a man, made of flesh and blood. Yet he came to the place of trusting faith, brokenness and humility, delivered from pride of self, until he was "crucified with Christ" (Galatians 2:19). Then his life truly became a living sacrifice. Then he could truly say, "It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me" (v. 2:20). The more he was conformed to the nature of Christ, the more he was entrusted with the authority of Christ. Not Paul's authority, but Your authority being released through him as he learned to abide in You and allow You to abide in him. Then he saw You do extraordinary miracles. You did the miracles, but You did them through Paul -- a yielded vessel, an obedient instrument of Your grace and Your power made perfect through his weakness. In humility and in faith, Paul knew the source of the power being released through his life, as he acknowledged before heaven and earth, "I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Lord, I pray You would continue to break my pride and crucify my flesh. Conform me to Your nature. Teach me to abide in You and allow You to abide in me, more and more every day. I am just a man of flesh and blood, but so was Paul. I want to be part of the body of Christ who is so filled the Spirit of Christ that we see the fulfillment of Your promise in our day: "Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:12-13). I am asking to see Your extraordinary miracles released through my life for Your glory. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Don't Deny Me Of My Glory
These are the words that I heard the Lord speaking during my time with Him this morning.
Don't deny Me of My glory. Where you are, I desire to be glorified and exalted in the earth. That very situation that you are faced with is just right for Me to be glorified if you will only surrender to Me. Allow Me to bring you out. Allow Me to be your deliverance. Allow Me to make your mountains be moved, your crooked places made straight and your rough places made smooth. For I am the Lord your God who was and who is and who is to come. Don't deny Me of My Glory.
>>>Just a note...Sometimes as I begin to write, the Lord just starts to speak in ways that are not 'normal' to what the HIS Word devotionals normally look like. Today was one of those mornings.
Peace<
