Sherry Edwards Mackey Founder of New Beginning Christian Ministries International since February 1990. Authors “Catch Of the Day” a prophetic word in season revealing the heart and mind of God. The gospel must be preached and “published” throughout the whole world before the coming of the Lord. We believe we will witness the greatest out pouring of revival the world has ever seen, empowering many with Holy Ghost Fire causing the great end time harvest to be gathered in.

Are You The Spark?

As I was praying, I saw in a vision of a tiny flint stone that is used to cause a “spark” that causes a fire to begin.

As I was praying, I saw in a vision of a tiny flint stone that is used to cause a “spark” that causes a fire to begin.

I will liken a tiny flint stone that shall spark a fire, but you must first have a little tinder and kindling to quickly start a fire.

For you to become a spiritual fire starter, you can’t have lasting hot fire unless there are earthly elements of wood, hay, and stubble present in our lives.

To spiritually burn away all dross in our lives, we must allow The Holy Spirit to work on us as we humble ourselves and yield to this change of life process.

If we won’t surrender to refinement and allow earthly things to burn away what keeps us bound to this world, we won’t be able to be refined and defined by The Holy Spirit to be made vessels of honor fit for the Master’s use.

God desires His best for His children and knows better than we, what must happen to begin this process of burning away and cleansing all the chaff off our lives, and every earthly thing in our lives.

We yield to the process of burning away of every natural element with the fire of The Holy Spirit.  He shall cause there to be made known the manifold wisdom and witness of God that manifest the benefits of our refinement.

Our fleshly and earth-bound body doesn’t burn away for nothing and there are important reasons for that.

The fire is not a comfortable place to be in.  It is especially hard during the burning of all the earthly, fleshly things and especially relationships.

Our relationships are very necessary places in which we cannot avoid this process and think we will grow up into Him.  This hard-fleshly process burns away our physical earth bound lives so that we can rise in newness of life.

It is a good thing to continually ask God to keep us humble, broken, and lowly of heart.  It is in the daily grind and process of the refining fire that we must learn to yield to this very uncomfortable place, so what makes us feel bound and out of control, and what is earthly in our lives that keeps us bound to this world, it is burnt off.

Then as we are sparked, it ignites the wood, hay and stubble in our earthly life, so that we burn for God becoming flames of fire.

The LORD wants us not only to be around the camp fire for the benefits.  His desire for us that we get into the fire!

For us to Ignite Revival Fire in our lives, there needs to be an ongoing process of burning away what is earthly and that catches the tinder and kindling to burn.

Before any spiritual fire can happen, however, we must repent from sin and all earthy endeavors to abide in the fire, being that flame of fire.

We must acknowledge that we must die daily to our flesh and continually allow the fire of revelation to burn up hell’s deception.

Even troubles refine and define us.  It is not easy.  When we set our mind to do something, we must have the integrity and the mindset that it is done!  That is excellence.

We (for example) are like that flint rock and the people, wood.  You shall spark a fire so that it will burn away purge away the dross so the newness will emerge.

As you learn to abide and not resist the process of The Holy Spirit, your life seasons will afterwards becomes like pure gold, silver and precious stones without the dregs.

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  Now if any man builds upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay stubble; every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.  If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive areward.  If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire,”   1 Corinthians 3:11-15 KJV.

“Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand.  Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house,”   Ezekiel 3:6-9 KJV.

“And of the angels he saith, who maketh his angel spirits and his ministers flames of fire,”   Hebrews 1:7 KJV.

“Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.  And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire,”   Hebrews 12:26-29.

Reinvent Your Life!

Do you feel totally exhausted, extremely agitated and frustrated to the point of total mental, physical and spiritual failure?

“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life”   Proverbs 13:12 KJV.

Do you feel totally exhausted, extremely agitated and frustrated to the point of total mental, physical and spiritual failure?

Does it feel so different than you have ever experienced?

Are you facing another trip around the mountain in the spiritual desert?

Are the frustrations in your ministry, job, home, family or any other life situation beyond anything you have ever felt?

There is a reason!

God in His Mercy is allowing such pressure to bring us to the breaking point.  He is very serious about His Love and deep concern and purpose for us!

He will not allow you to press through into the next stage until His work in us has been completed in this current one.

The pressure has frustrated you for a very long time, not realizing the source has kept you chained to things you do not comprehend.

These things are being made manifest and suddenly you are getting glimpses of things you thought were dealt with long ago.

Things that have kept you stuck to past failures and loss.  You haven’t understood the deep grief, sorrow and mourning of soul.

However, the pressure is bringing deep rooted issues to the surface.

You have not understood what to do as you are desperate and feel like you are going down, drowning to the point of death, grasping at anything or anyone that you feel could help you.

This great disappointment has surfaced in areas that have cost you with family, friends and opportunities.

As you see the glimpses surfacing, it brings great mental pain and anguish like you felt so long ago when the events initially happened.

What’s worse, is you are not able to rectify the situations of those who were deeply hurt and are no longer there.

You have been haunted by deeply embedded mistakes.  What had stressed you manifested physically and became stress to others.

Realizing the facts, caused deep remorse.  It caused you to back away because you do not want to damage others.  We become jaded from life and with those who truly want to help us because of preexisting conditions.

You have carried a deep-seated root in your heart unrealized.  You knew something was wrong but never fully comprehended it till now.  To even think of trusting and surrendering to another causes great shaking anxiety.

Due to the past wounds, you fear and will not trust those who are in authority.  It is causing you to be afraid to look at yourself and what you think God is saying to you.

You think authority figures will be like all the others.  Yet in all the fear and confusion, deep down you really want to begin again, for your destiny cries deeply within!

Even in such vexation of heart and mind, the vestiges of pride surface.  You don’t want to admit you need help.

Humility and obedience open the door; Faith drives all fear away, for faith worketh by love.  Reach out for help, He is standing at the very door.

Your heart has carried great disappointment, sadness and disillusionment, in feeling like you have been disqualified due to loss of time and hope.  The LORD is here to establish and heal you beloved; Trust Him today.

It is God’s will and desire to deliver and heal you today.  In the depths of your very soul make a move towards what you believe he is saying.

Trust Him and stop worrying about what people think about you.  Don’t be afraid to reach out to whom God shows you.

God has not stripped you of your rank, He wants us stripped of every weight that so easily besets us.

He may have removed your authority over others for a season, but he never removes His Gift.  It is His Love that desires you to be free.  He has come to set the captive free.

Are you giving place to things that you thought were long gone, past and settled?

Are you giving place to thoughts of past issues about people and even negative thoughts about yourself?

Beloved, hear me!

By doing this, you are inviting the accuser of the brethren back in to wreak havoc!  You will chase the wind and reap the whirlwind.  You must let go and let God!

Have you felt the condemnation of self-hatred and unforgiveness in your own heart? Sometimes forgiving ourselves is the hardest lesson we will ever learn. Forgive yourself beloved.

If you have done your best, and they can’t receive your forgiveness, it’s best to forgive them, release them and let them go!

Like the caterpillar shrouds itself in a cocoon in seemingly death of what it was, the process must be complete before newness can come.

Take a step of faith, step out of the boat and test the waters.  Show God and everyone that you are going for the mother-load!  You are headed for destiny or bust!

Throw fear aside and prepare to enter into who you really are!  You have come to the crevice of exhausting all possibilities.  Take that leap of faith!

There are no more options for expansion you have gone as far as you can go on this level, and what worked before will not work where you are going.  You are no longer that same person!

Let go and enter into who you really are!  You cannot be happy being someone you’re not.

Life is full of challenges and each of us choose how we live it.  We must choose how to find our niche in life. no matter how many mistakes or how old we are.  Your age has nothing to do with it. It takes simple obedience.

We have God given gifts to pursue in our lives as we pursue HIM.  New things require a new beginning.

Some giftings are ministry related and some are secular, however the gifts and callings of God are without repentance; The LORD does not take them away.

As we learn God’s principles to pursue and plan, we find out with excitement, that our whole life can be reinvented!

God is all about reinventing our lives!  For example, the emergence of the butterfly from a shrouded tomb, speaks of the marvels of His way to reinvent purpose into His greatest of creation; MAN! Oh how He loves us beloved!

We are His greatest prize!  Oh beloved!  Let Him love on you today!

In HIS Grace and Mercy,

Greater Awareness We Carry

In all our learning, we must find a great correlation that balances our lives.

In all our learning, we must find a great correlation that balances our lives.

As I get older, I may sound redundant at times, but I assure you, I need to hear things over, over, and over.  Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

The LORD has had me at times focus on just this one truth and it was, WE must be aware of our surroundings and learn to study to be quiet, listen, deeply focus and discern our own words before we ever release them to others!

We must have mastered us and then prayerfully listen to what comes out of our own mouth for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Look at the manifestations and how we react.  It is not just the outward actions but what is the inward.

There are not only the natural personality manifestations but there are those that come from a deeper level of the heart; that are deep seated and rooted.

Often deliverance happens in layers upon layers like an onion has layers.  God knows we must gradually peel back the pain and adapt to our changing lives.

By faith we walk out God’s word. It is a process of His presence at work in us for he watches over his word to perform it.  May we keep ourselves interdependent on The LORD.

May we keep a watch before our mouth and a guard before our lips.  We don’t always know the ramifications of influence we carry nor understand totally the living results of our choices we make and have in our lives.

We walk by faith and not by sight.  Death and life are in the “POWER” of the tongue.

Our words and our tongue will speak or write a continuous image as we reflect ourselves to others. We must learn to communicate according to what

The LORD sees. We are to base all communication against the Holy Bible.  We must learn and remember how he sees us and cares for us by basing our every thought, word and action by aligning ourselves to the Word of God!

The path of the righteous
shining brighter and brighter
There is no place he would not go
For He is there at all times
He wants us to really know

He wants us to realize the victory true
Of our immeasurable faith
And the valuable cost of you

In the face of our relationship
It is never divided for a moment
He has never turned away you or me
For He is everywhere we be
We must see, hear and be who
Christ is our victory!

Out of the abundance of
Our heart our mouth speaks
Help us oh Lord to rise above
the clamor of negativity
So our words will be swords
To all our enemy…..Selah

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh,”   Luke 6:45 KJV.

Lift Up Your Head O Ye Gates!

“Soon I will uncover the hidden ones whose minds and souls are fixed upon My Will and the establishment of My covenant in the earth.”

“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in,”    Psalms 24:7 KJV.

I speak especially to those who are and have been hidden away for some time.

To those who have undergone unmanageable and unspeakable odds, yet remained faithful even while being hidden, while they have suffered alone in silence, having done so during times of great unbelief, doubt and insecurity.

Their seeming defeat of heart, was due to the obstacles and events surrounding their lives.

Due to their utter disappointment and seeming failure, these have resigned themselves to just maintain and remain where they are, thinking this is as good as it gets.

Those who succumbed to defeat, are thinking they had missed God.  Those in shame of themselves, have finally laid down their precious gift and calling, thinking they must have reneged and missed their time in God.

Thus says The LORD your God, “Although My Spirit is hidden from the establishment of man; though your existence seems futile and vain, I AM erecting a sure house on a sure foundation that shall surely stand.

For on no other foundation can anything be built to last.  For unless I build the house, you labor in vain and it won’t stand.

Yea, when the Father of the prodigal saw his son afar off, he ran to meet him!  Beloved I AM for you and running to you for I accept you!

Come HOME and come as you are and let Me cover your shame and guilt and give you peace for great pain!

Your beginnings may seem insignificant in your minds, but I AM working a much greater plan in your heart and life than you could ever fathom.

The work I complete is that of MY IMAGE, not your image.  No other image shall stand but that of My Son.  For it is Christ in you, the hope of glory!

Even all of your wanderings are recorded in My Book.  I indeed do a new thing even through times of lack, loss and giving up in hopelessness.

You think too shallow for I AM at work even in your lowest times of defeat, for until you learn the lessons of defeat you cannot be elevated to help those who are defeated and have given up.

I AM at work in you even when you don’t feel a thing.  I AM at work in your life in the midst of trouble and tribulations for you bring great glory to My Name, when you speak My Word and live My Word even in the midst of death you shall bring great glory to My name!

I lifted up My eyes and declared, “Behold the fruitful place is the wilderness and the barren land.”

The wild and barren lands have always been the best locations for My teachings.  Was it not said, “Child, you shall go before My Face to prepare My Ways?”

For it is in the deserts and wilderness that you grow strong in My image, nature and character.

Preach in the wilderness!  For in that day, you shall show up and not delay, you won’t be behind in My plan and timing for I AM watching over My Word in your lives to perform it.

It will surely come to pass.  Don’t despise small beginnings, for these lessons are part of your foundation structure that will bring stability in your lives and to the corporate body.

I prepare you on the backside of the mountain.  I prepare you in the cave of the mountain.  I prepare you on the top of the mountain.

I prepare you at the bottom of the mountain, as a shepherd cares for the flock, so I care for you.

I have invested much into your lives and that investment shall bring in great exponentially results.

I have gifted you with “Spiritual intelligence.”  I have opened your eyes to behold and pin point targets of darkness.

The weapons of destruction are released as you sound the trumpet and alert the warriors for warfare.  All hell itself struggles and gnashes their teeth to congregate and plot to break down and hinder those who hear My voice and plan.

All of hell itself congregates and plots to break those hidden seers.  The Spirit of Elijah was nourished in My presence by the brook, fed by ravens, sent by Me to break the enemies’ plots.

What is whispered in secret, a little bird reports to others.  What is planned in the very depths of hell is exposed by My Spirit.

I myself shall utter the secrets of darkness and I shall destroy the threats and silence those secrets of darkness by becoming light.

I have kept you hidden and preserved, even as the dragon came to devour the woman with the child, the child was caught up!

The earth came to the aide of the woman by opening up and swallowing the flood.  I promoted the woman and gave her great wings and she flew away from the presence of the dragon into the wilderness, a place prepared by Me says your God.

Yea, to a place of “season.”  The season of rest and recovery, a season of healing, for the advancement of My goal.

Beloved be fortified and become strong again!  You shall not lack any information on that day as you allow Me to prepare you well.

Rejoice!  For your LORD shall do valiantly, for I AM calling you back to your first love fervor.

Never has there been a time of deep victory without deep fervor in desperation in intimacy of My presence and warfare,” says The LORD.

“Soon I will uncover the hidden ones whose minds and souls are fixed upon My Will and the establishment of My covenant in the earth.

These are those who have been prepared so well they won’t fail Me says your God, for I shall go before them in the Spirit of Elijah as they have heard My voice and answered My call.

For I will not forsake them,” says The LORD of Hosts!
