Month: January 2025

Our Hunger for God and true fulfillment happens because we are striving towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus — and in mastery of the divine call, we may have to leave everything behind…

There’s a Choice and a Price for the divine call and how much we want.

Becoming super sensitive to The Holy Ghost is a journey in our love relationship with our redeemer.

Seeking The LORD with our whole heart is to follow hard after Him — He must be the motivation of our heart.

We are transitioning and clicking into placement by faith. Our desire is to be everything God wants as we yield to Him more and more daily.

It’s not about an ankle deep faith that the river of life continues flowing, but we need to hear the call “deep calls unto deep” to swim and go deeper with The LORD.

All of us face unique challenges when we wake up each day and walk out that door.  The concerns and cares of life that keep us in the world but not of the world is really a harvest field.

Each day we must pray that The LORD releases His power in us so that we recognize the fields are white ready for harvest!

Each of you has a purpose and God has the plan!  Be aware that your time is valuable, and the enemy will continue to try to keep us sidetracked and distracted concerning our purpose and destiny.

How is our own heart?  Are we hungry for God?  There’s a price if we want God’s purpose and His plan.  For some it’s 30, some it’s 60 and 100-fold.

“Therefore, hear the parable of the sewer: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”   Matthew 13:18-23 NKJV.

In seeking The LORD daily through prayer, meditation, praying in The Holy Ghost and study of the Bible ensures us that we have done all things in reaching out to God and he rewards those who diligently seek Him.

God knows us better than we know ourselves and we must have the right motives of the heart. The LORD will never go against his word. His word is forever settled in heaven.

When we repent, pray, study God ‘s word, push away some meals and spend time fasting we will find him if we seek him with our whole heart.

There are motives that The LORD has been showing me that we’ve got to watch out for daily.

One of them is pride, and close behind is haughtiness and arrogance.  God wants us to die daily to our flesh and to walk in holiness.

What took Satan down in the initial sin was pride in seeking a place with ambition to sit as God.

Just like the ambitions the disciples had wanting to sit at The LORD’s right hand.  Selfish ambition cannot be part of who you become.

Service to God is not Ambition and having a church is not like running a business.  It’s about love and laying down our lives as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable which is our reasonable service. Service and serving is our task.

There are too many people out there that say they are of God and the fruit is Rotten and we’re supposed to judge by the fruit of the spirit, and by the word of God.

Deception is a daily weapon the enemy tries to throw into a lot of places.  We must remain vigilant for our adversary; the devil goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour.

Resist him steadfast in the faith!  We are overcomers!

Yesterday as I sought The LORD, I saw an old-fashioned blacksmith, and a very hot fire pit and various pieces of metal and a hammer.

The Holy Ghost spoke to me and said is not My word as a fire and as a hammer that breaks rocks in pieces?

I saw this blacksmith taking the chosen piece of twisted metal. It was not formed yet, but the blacksmith was taking it with heated tools and putting it in the fire until it was red hot then he would pull it out and hammer it.

Once he hammered it to the degree he could, he would stick it in the water to try to see if it was lining up according to his measure.

I had to die daily… I had to die to what I was.

Yes, we must Yield our bodies, our souls and spirit.

God is wanting to send true revival, but much of the church in America isn’t ready.

God sends revival to wake up the church and to open sleepy eyes to what deception the enemy is trying to get us into so we can reject it.

In this hour God is setting things in divine order for us, and we’ve got to be about the father’s business to win souls and to spur on the people into discipleship and remain close and obedient to The LORD.

God is all about saving and winning people.

It’s not about who’s who and if we’re still looking for some sort of recognition, or to be famous and well known on the platforms of man we must die to the flesh.

God knows our heart.  We must ask God where he wants to place us and not assume Hollywood in the church on YouTube.

There’s so many people that are deceived and demons are more faithful to those types of churches! Satan fears a Holy Ghost filled people of prayer, fasting, and obedience to God; a people that seek God with their whole heart!

Of all the things the enemy fears, he fears the believer who knows who they are and knows what they have and knows how to use it in Jesus’ name!

The LORD has a message, of sobering indifference, He is showing us the condition of much of the church for when there is no divine revelation, people cast off moral and all restraints.

Who will yield to the process of the blacksmith hammering and the furnace of affliction the process he is taking us through.

He is making us as a double edge sword of offense and defense!  When it is applied to a believer, it’s as a scalpel that brings surgery, healing, and wholeness to people.

I want you to see how the process was.  The blacksmith took the weapon of warfare and continued to stick it in the fire, then to hammer it into the shape and then the process of sticking it in the water to cool it, to handle it, to see if the tool was being formed correctly.

Once it was completely formed as The LORD said we are his weapon of warfare.

He has made us to be more than conquerors in Christ.

The LORD wants us to live, eat, drink, sleep, work, fight and do everything as unto The LORD!

The LORD wants us to walk closely with him for his sheep hear his voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow.

There is a spirit that I have noticed over the course of learning in my life and in the church that has been prevalent.

A Jezebel spirit operates by witchcraft and what follows is manipulation and control.  That’s just some of the spirits that work through that Jezebel spirit. Jezebel hates true prophetic gift for she or he sits up to establish their own agenda, stronghold, and platform.

Her threats put fear into Elijah right after God proved who heard God and he ran away. Jezebel didn’t know it, but God has had enough of her, and the control of the platform and the people.

Her hour was nearly spent and suddenly God spoke and she was taken out.

We have to be aware and listen and see everything that God wants.  We are his battle axe and his weapon of warfare and when we see what God wants to happen, we must obey. God wants us to do greater things in this hour for greater works shall you do when Jesus went to the Father.

When The Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost it opened the door for the Baptism of Fire that John the Baptist spoke of.

“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:7-12 NKJV,

We must put to death the deeds of the flesh, sin, and iniquity, for when we learn to die daily only HE can live!

He must increase and we must decrease. I’m not saying I’m perfect, but I am doing my best to keep myself from being distracted from the cares of this life.

As his battleax and his weapon of warfare we’ve been commissioned and there’s spiritual warfare going on.

There’s a lot of people that say we don’t need to fight anymore that Jesus did it all, but they are sadly mistaken.

There are principalities and powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in the heavenly realms that we deal with these things daily.

Satan will ignore you and never look your way if he’s got a hold of you and you’re doing what he wants.

But when you are trying to walk as closely as you can to The LORD all hell will try to stop you.

Don’t let it happen.  Shake it off.  Tell it all to go in The Name of Jesus Christ.

Have you noticed lately after your prayer sessions with The LORD — that things have changed?

Have you gone about your daily tasks, and various people react strangely to you for simply no good reason?

You don’t realize that there are more revealed in the Marketplace than you could ever have fathomed.

As we stir up our sensitivity and the gifts of God while in prayer and when we know others and each lays on hands to stir up the gifts and to combine strategies as each person is a part of the puzzle of clearer revelation.

When we Pray alone it is powerful but when we connect to the other place and the piece fits, those actions are so that we have a greater awareness of The LORD’s purpose for ourselves and others!

There is power in coming together like heart, mind, and Spirit!

We carry the precious cargo of The Holy Ghost, and people can suddenly react to you for no good reason, and it can appear as something good, but is it?

Devils are clever and have been around a long time studying human behavior.  The enemy can use the poorest of the poorest needs to distract you from your purpose and to bring confusion, division, and frustrations to lure you and fish you out of The LORD’s Purpose for you by stealing your time.

It is best if you have a Prayer Partner to ask The LORD what He wants you to do.

Jesus said the poor will always be with us.  The Holy Ghost knows the person and can see within the motives of their heart and flesh.  Just because there is a need doesn’t mean He wants you to fulfill it.

Because of the Word and the anointing in your life, your presence can provoke a reaction to action, and they can manifest evil spirits!

How would you like to know that when you meet the needs of the people that it causes you to miss God and get caught up in a so-called “ministry” when actually it is a demonic distraction plan to keep you off base?

“And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, these men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.”   Acts 16:16-18 KJV.

“Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of The LORD Jesus, saying, we adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of The LORD Jesus was magnified.”   Acts 19:13-17 KJV.

Remember beloved, that The LORD wants us equipped and fine-tuned for the tasks at hand.

What is needed is a heavy dose of the Holy Ghost as we seek The LORD and Pray.

Think it not strange when people manifest strange things, and they want YOUR attention!

Remember their goal is to steal your time and to throw your purpose into distractions and frustrations to stop you in your path.

They do not fully understand their role and strongholds, but God does, and He will reveal it when you pray.

The devils fear a person who is anointed and can see them!

People always have needs, but is it God’s Will for you to meet the need?

Be not hasty and miss the way!  The poor you will always have with you.

We cannot possibly meet every need that comes our way, but when we pray and rightly discern, we are to do as The LORD leads and He supplies.

Amen?  Amen!

The LORD is gracious, compassionate and merciful, slow to anger and rich in His loving kindness and care for us.

The LORD doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve or cause pay back for our iniquities and as far as the east is from the west He remembers our sins and transgressions no more.

“Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.”  Isaiah 48:10.

“Many have never surrendered to the process of the Refiner’s Fire.  It’s a place where total surrender is acquired under extreme heated pressure.

It is in the heat of the passion for Christ that you are pressured and pressed down to such a degree that you are conformed to My Will.

You are like a diamond in the rough.  You are predestined to be conformed to My Will as you surrender your soul and body ‘willingly’ in the furnace of affliction.

You wondered why such extreme trials, heat and deep pressure that when people see you or hear you they are perplexed and cannot understand it, so they blow you off.

There’s a reason why you have felt so alone even amid people, AND that everyone seems to be running the opposite way… Not many people run to the furnace of affliction,” says The LORD.

Diamonds are the hardest and most valuable of precious stones.  Diamonds were created and formed in the earth, a process that took millions or billions of years through the extreme pressures of the earth and temperatures of 1600^C and the depth of 125 miles below the Earth’s surface.  The diamond is known for being used for hard cutting with other minerals and rendered adamant.

“Diamonds are known for their beauty.  In the hand of the master artisan the diamond is of very rare distinctions.  Diamonds are taken and made into something very beautiful that reflects light on many facets of the fire.

That is how you are, created to endure hardness, and great pressures and temperatures that were designed to form a hardness and unmovable faith to be displayed as something most beautiful,”  says The LORD.

“The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars,”   Jeremiah 17:1.

“I have made your forehead like emery (diamond), harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house.”   Ezekiel 3:9.

“Tough times demand tough preparations.  Though the enemy comes in like a flood I shall lift up a standard against them.  You are that prepared standard, and I AM always triumphs over the enemy.

People have misunderstood and judged you and stood far off.  Yet they were perplexed, being motivated by fear because it was unfamiliar territory planned in advance, making an entrance into the earth on the road less traveled.

Yea, I have determined beforehand having predestined and formed you for just such times and I have ordained and knew you before time began.”

“For He chose us in Him before the foundations of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His Will,” Ephesians 1:4-5

“Forerunners are often misunderstood for these are those who speak ahead to prepare the remnant and the earth for My coming,” says The LORD.

“Yet ye are unique and genuine living thy life as pure and holy before Me, yet the world and the captives of this world attempt to disregard and silence My Voice,”  says The LORD.

There are many prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled in this age and the age to come, long after the messenger’s death on the earth.

“For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”   Matthew 5:18.

God just dropped a Word in my Spirit.

To those who have carried such a great weight that nearly bent you totally over…  and you have been pressed out but only God knew how much you could bear… God has set before you a Divine Crosswalk!

As you have run out of all options He took you to the edge of all limitations and He has provided all your needs.  He has so much more to reveal to you for the best is yet to come.

God knew who could stay and who had to go because of His great love and He honors you.

Those whom He removed were sliced off with His swift sword, not because they were bad — but for God’s Will and Purposes that He destined for you.

Not everyone can walk the path with you as He deals with each of our unique purposes.

When God opens a Door, we agree as He closes the Door behind us!

You counted the cost and picked up the cross to follow Him.  He has everything in His hand and has destined the perfect time at your “Divine Crosswalk.”  He has cut off every hindrance.

Some you see now and in your eyesight others will manifest at the appointed time of The LORD.

He used the weight we carried to press us to conform into his image, likeness, and fruits.

He allowed you to be pressed down and sometimes it felt like you were broken down and felt you could do no more, but God knows the timing of His Purposes.

In this timing, be still and know He is God, and He has got this.

We are pressed for growth and in dying to our flesh then we emerge more and more into his likeness..

Why? God gives us over to be as living testaments, epistles seen and read by all men.

Our death is victory!  Whether in our natural life or Spiritual life as we are eternal beings built up into our spiritual household with Jesus Christ is our chief cornerstone.

We will die in our natural life and if we are believers in Christ we step over into eternal life.  However, in our Spiritual life on earth, we must learn to die daily to our flesh to receive more of HIM to flow through us!

Living close to The LORD in this life is possible but the only way to be truly secure, fearless, faithful and committed is to go with the flow in the Holy Ghost.

We must allow and yield ourselves to the workings of the Holy Spirit to refine, and define us through troubles and the fire of all sorts of obstacles, hindrances, chaos, and tribulations!

When everyone is running from the fire, we run to the fire  While many will not yield to the instructions and training of The LORD, they run the wrong way in spiritual blindness and God’s fire will not benefit them.  The promotion that comes from God comes when we are tested under fire.

If you resist the testing of The LORD you will be stuck with no movement.  God meant for us to grow and to move forward with Him as a cloud by day and a fire by night!

Let us no longer rebel in the wilderness experiences we have had.

Why?  Because God is no respecter of persons, if the Israelites chose to rebel and traveled in circles around the mountain it can happen to us and keep us stuck!

In conclusion, when we go with the flow of the Holy Ghost we will be transformed into His likeness.

Doesn’t it thrill you to be like that goldfish in that tank of water?  And like that fish everything is illuminated.

We have nothing to hide because we want to be transparent and all they see is HIM.

Beloved, soon you will be moving forward and his desire is towards you and for His best for you.  When you learn how to die to the flesh, you could care less about other opinions or judgements, because we know God and his opinion is what counts. T

The best has yet to come…….

Here is an Interesting metaphor:

“When someone says “God brought you to a four way stop,” it means that you’ve reached a significant point in your life where you need to pause, carefully consider your options, and make a deliberate choice about which direction to go next, essentially requiring you to stop and reflect on your current path before moving forward, much like a physical four-way stop sign in traffic.”

Pause and Reflect:

The “stop” signifies a moment to pause and assess your current situation, evaluating your choices and priorities before making a decision.

Decision Point:

The “four ways” represent multiple potential paths or directions you could take in your life, requiring you to choose which one aligns best with God’s will.

Spiritual Guidance:

This is often seen as a time to seek guidance from God through prayer or introspection, asking for clarity on which path to choose.
