Godly Agendas

This is for the life or death of our nation! We need end time outpouring of revival so harvest comes! The LORD is going to come the way he left. Will we be ready for his return?

“For surely GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets,”   Amos 3:7 KJV.

To the Church of the living God, the remnant of God!  Listen!  Just because the reprieve and victory in our American elections doesn’t mean God is pleased; especially if we return to our previous way of thinking and doing things prior to the election.

We are chosen to be proactive and seek the will of the Father in all of this, everyday. We have been chosen for such a time as this.

Just like Queen Esther, had she not heeded the word from Mordecai and reacted and agreed to go before the king on her behalf, deliverance would have eventually come, but at what cost?

She agreed and asked for all the Jews to fast and pray three days before she approached the king, which was unlawful by death, without invitation of the king.  Evil forces were at work to destroy Israel even in captivity.

The wicked Haman planned total annihilation of the Jews even built a gallows meant to hang Mordecai once his deeds were done.  However, the king knew nothing of Haman’s plot and once learned from his wife after a dinner; (after she and all the Jews fasted and prayed)

The King had Haman arrested and he was hanged on the very gallows he built for Mordecai.  Haman’s whole family was put to death.  God had a people in the midst of another people.  Because Esther heard the threat of annihilation and obeyed in this midst of facing death; she and God’s people were spared. ***Read Esther.

Just like America is divided, God has a people.  We must fast and pray that His Kingdom comes and his will be done.  God will give us victory if we will fight for the soul of the beloved remnant church.  We have been grafted into the vine, and we are His people!

Seriously, we are called to do spiritual warfare, not just pray for me, myself and I.  We, the church really need to come together and intercede for the foundation of the heart of this nation.  Not only our prayer, but group prayer and intercession, warfare and fasting should intensify regularly.

This is for the life or death of our nation!  We need end time outpouring of revival so harvest comes!  The LORD is going to come the way he left. Will we be ready for his return?

Satan is not wasting time.  The enemy is planning many things to seek to destroy this great nation that was founded by God and godly people.  There is so much warfare that is going on over the soul of this nation.  People were awakened as they finally saw what they would loose if they didn’t pray and vote.

We thank God He gave “The Church” another chance.  I pray that the LORD Jesus puts upon people to come together for the healing of our nation and for the church.

In the election, do we the church realize how close we came to becoming a socialistic, atheistic and progressive society?

While in prayer, I saw the nation of America, including all of Alaska, Hawaii and all territories, I saw in this vision a continuation very much like the word I wrote prior to this one:  “The Soul of our Nation.”  Or you can find that article below in my writings archive here:  ‘Articles by Sherry Mackey‘.

The outward wound to our nation was jagged and very uneven, looking infectious.  Then I began to look closer.  Not only did I see the heart of the nation split, I saw all sorts of agitations, violence, revenge and all types of indicators that there is a type of civil war in our nation and in the church.

It’s a WAR for this nation.  It’s a WAR for the Church, a spiritual warfare.  How the church goes will be how the nation goes.  In the vision as I looked deeper, I saw a very jagged separation down the heart of the nation.

God is not elated by the condition of our nation, whether it is Republican or Democrat. He is giving “THE CHURCH” another chance to get it right.  His desire is that this nation founded by God for the people and by the people, will rise up and govern this people for end time harvest to come through a mighty historic revival, unlike history has ever seen, nor will ever see again.

Beyond the national scope, vision and jagged wound, I saw a very deeper heart issue.  I knew that something deeper was going on.  With much more foundational spiritual emphasis to the heart of God and the true church.  God gave us a reprieve, but what we do with it matters for the soul and for the reaping of this nation.

We are that generation and we have been sent for HIS purpose.  We are equipped and ready.  It is time for judgment in the house of God.  It is time to rise and shine!  It is time to engage the battle.  God has given us what we need, now it is up to us in prayer and actions.

I then was able to zoom in and as God allowed me to look deeper, I saw a much greater heart bursting within our nation.  I saw into the true heart, the nation that was founded by God himself.

In this vision I saw a big heart that had been stabbed and looked jagged looking.  This was no cut of a surgeon, but a act of hatred and persecution.  Wounded in the house of friends.  Cut open like no surgeon would, but it was ripped and stabbed with no remedy.  The remedy will come when someone prays.

Revival cannot come until someone prays.  Paul Yonggi Cho in Korea has a prayer mountain and God has moved mightily through that ministry and brought major change.  Prayer changes things!

Some have given up and see no reason to change or pray as they say America is modern day Babylon.  So that mindset says, there is no use to pray or make a difference because it is already here.

Remember Esther when she made a difference by fasting and praying for her nation in captivity?

I continue to hear that this nation is hanging in the balance, and yes even though we are a minority, God hears us and watches over His Word to perform it.

Yes, Jesus is coming soon and we are to be ready but that doesn’t mean to camp out doing nothing.  Instead, He wants us to occupy till he comes!  That is a militant term and his desire for us is to continue to fill the earth with His Word, Power and demonstrations of the Holy Ghost!

Unholy Motives and Attitudes

Watch what happens when they cross you! They will manifest when you disagree!

I do not want to hear from anyone who belittles, gossips, slanders, and play games with God’s beloved children.  The LORD see’s it all.  He knows it all.

I bind all corrupt communications out of our heart, mind and mouths.  Especially those who talk about other ministers, ministries and Christians.

Guard your gifts.  Protect your gifts.  You are a steward of them.  You know God has given you a two edge sword and we answer to Him.  He will show us as we spend time with Him in prayer and abiding in His presence.

Always pray, be mindful and watch what those religious spirits say when you say NO to participate concerning slander, gossip and touching HIS anointed.  You have determined that you will NOT speak against anyone in the body of Christ.

Watch what happens when they cross you!  They will manifest when you disagree!  Guard your heart and mind for out of it comes the issues of life.  Be angry and sin not!

We are all individual’s who must learn and especially understand that we have the mind of Christ.  Guard your words, thoughts and weigh every word against Gods Holy Word.

Be determined to give no place to the devil.  Tell those who are tale bearers they are wrong and let them know you won’t participate in such communications.  Guard your heart, mind and tongue.

Those who are jealous and envious, will play nice as long as you agree with them, but once they have managed to manipulate and control you then we must Deal and Confront them.  Pray and speak what thus says the LORD!

Let no man manipulate and control you for that is a form of spiritual abuse and it leads you right to a spirit of Jezebel.  Those spirits make us like puppets as they pull our strings and lead us the way they want us to go.

We are all individual’s that must learn these things, for we will face many more.

Decree and declare that you have the mind of Christ.

Touch not Gods anointed, do his prophet’s no harm.  Realize and be quick to repent so that times of refreshing come from the presence of the LORD.

Be mindful that we carry the Holy Spirit and He sits on the throne of our heart.  Remember, we can easily grieve HIM.

Do not attribute the works of the Holy Spirit to be the enemy.  That my friends is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

I bind all disrespect.

I bind all corrupt communication out of the mouths.

Help us LORD to deal with us!  Help us to remain aware about what comes out of our hearts and mouth especially those who are on our friends list.

There are differences in gifting and purposes in the body of Christ.  We will not always agree, but we must love.  Just because they don’t agree with everything we believe, doesn’t make them bad.

We must walk in what we attained by faith in Gods Word.  If these type of issues continually come up to me, expect to be confronted.  So if you see pages gone and articles deleted, it is because I am done with such antics.

If you see things that you think are wrong, please talk to God and keep your opinions to yourselves.  Let God be God and He will reveal the truth as needed.

Only one person knows me very well.  His name is Jesus, the Son of man.  However God has given me a husband in this life who supports and prays earnestly for me.  I thank God for that!

If you see things that you think are wrong, please talk to God and come to me in private; but keep opinions to yourselves in the body.  Let God be God and He will reveal the truth to us.

We are to be stewards of the mysteries and treasures of secret places.  He is our King and we, His beloved.

The Formation of Catch of the Day

By land or by sea, we are to be catchers of men aren’t we. For Jesus Christ came to set the captive free. He also came to destroy the works of the devil.

By land or by sea, we are to be catchers of men aren’t we.  For Jesus Christ came to set the captive free.

He also came to destroy the works of the devil.  Many cannot come to Christ until the devil is mastered and his works are destroyed.

“And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land.  And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.  Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.  And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.  And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.  When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying,  “Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon.  And Jesus said unto Simon, “Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men,””   Luke 5:3-10 KJV”

Vision:

I saw myself in a big boat out in the deep and I had a large rod and reel.  I cast out all sorts of bait and once I felt a tug, I knew this one would be a big catch!  It took a long time to wear out the large fish, but once I did, I was able to bring the large catch to the boat.

The fish looked nothing like anything I ever seen.  One of its characteristics was that it was very swollen, like pregnant, however it looked beyond pregnant.

Once this heavy fish was raised up to weigh and cut open, suddenly fish came out of the opening of the big fish, and they hit the floor!  The fish were alive!  There were all sorts and sizes that came out of the big fish.  These fish that came out were many different types of fish.  We were amazed at the size of the original fish caught, and what was kept hidden within.

Just imagine, to see so many various types of fish that represented saints.  It kinda reminded me of Jonah when he was in the midst of the great fish alive.  Can you imagine being pregnant with so many souls?  This vision still boggles my mind.

Have you ever felt like you were bait that God was using to catch fish (the saints)?

Have you ever felt “like bait” to catch demonic spirits and deal with them by the blood of Jesus name?

We have been given all power and all authority over all the power of the enemy.  Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatever we loose on earth is loosed in heaven.  We possess that power in Jesus name!

All through my spiritual life there have been times that God uses me as bait.  One time was this:

I was at a women’s conference to speak and so much happened that was amazingly wonderful!  We all were filled and enjoying the blessings of God.

Towards the end of the meeting, there were other speakers who prophesied over me and I ended up laying on the floor.  I was basking in the intoxicating presence of God on the floor; letting the Lord minister to me.

Suddenly, a woman who I did not know, nor had any idea what she was doing, came to me.  While I was in the intoxicating presence of the Holy Spirit on the floor, she bent down to my head and begin to speak curses and not in accordance to God’s Word.

This woman laid hands on me and I immediately knew what she said was saying was not of God.  No one stopped her touching me on the floor and we all learned a lot from that experience.  Especially me!

I remained on the floor, but did not receive anything she said.  For some reason, I knew it wasn’t over between her and I.  I assumed it would be taken care of between her and I during the end of the conference but it never happened.

I finally came to the conclusion that what I have with God, pulls in fish (souls) and it also draws demons out of people, to try and dispute what God had said.  I pretty much put that whole encounter on a shelf after that.  I had a knowing deep within that somewhere down the line I would have dealings with her again.

I was involved with three ministries in outreach and those who could, were invited to come and fast and pray for the city and also in preparation for a seven day tent revival that would be in another state.

For the fasting and prayer, we met in a old civil war historic facility.  The fast and prayer went on the full thirty days in preparation for revival.

One day while praying, I kept seeing a rod and reel with line and hook and I saw bait.  Then God began to tell me HE was going to send me as bait to draw the devil out of various situation’s.  Well, I was not in the best frame of mind after that.  I argued, thinking it was something the devil authored or something my own mind authored.

I shared it with several others that were with me who thought it was comical, but I couldn’t shake it.  I kept seeing myself like a worm, and instead of being hooked to the hook I just held on to the hook and sat there.

It seemed comical to others who knew, but it wasn’t comical to me! I saw my face on the worm and I prayed and prayed that it wouldn’t go away.  God even gave me scripture in Isaiah 41:14 KJV,

“Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.”

The same day, my overseer came to see me and she shared with me that I needed to be prepared to go into another city the next day.  I would be going in her place to another women’s meeting.  As soon as she said it out of her mouth, I knew this was confirmation on the worm.

Oh my LORD!  I begged him not to allow this.  I spoke with my overseer many times that day and told her what the LORD revealed, but it didn’t change her mind.  I had to go in obedience to the LORD and His authority in my life.

I knew I was ready, but nervous due to knowing “I was like a worm on a hook.  BAIT!”  I knew I was being set up by God.

So off we went the next day, I myself and four others went with me to this women’s meeting.

Well, the main speaker wanted me to help handle the music up front where I did not want to be!  Being bait, I was thinking, I should sit in the back, but the person in charge told me to be up front.  All I could do was sit quietly and pray.

While we were in worship, I saw a couple more women come in, and I say this before God; one of them looked like a cobra.  Her headdress was in the shape of a cobra when they fan out.  Not only that, all the colors and markings spoke snake to me.

I told myself, oh NO!  Also what was worse, she was the exact woman who laid hands on me many months before, in that last conference.

Well, after worship, the woman of God ministered and I just stayed as quiet and prayerful as possible.  I thought after awhile, I was going to get out of being bait because it appeared the meeting was nearly over.

Then while everyone was praying, the woman of God came over to me and took me by my hand and walked me slowly around the front.  In my mind, I said, “This is it, I know it!”

The woman of God said all sorts of nice things about my ministry, but she knew another woman had a word for me.  Another woman did get up and prophesied a confirmed word and blessed me.  In my mind, I was saying here we go….

Then the woman of God continued walking me around by hand.  All of the sudden that cobra woman, started speaking ungodly words of poison and before I even thought to do anything, I WAS THERE!

I was in her face with my index finger pointing to her face telling her, “Touch not God’s anointed do his prophets no harm!”  I was so shocked that I moved so quick.  My head had to catch up with my Spirit!  While in front of the woman, she fell back immediately, shaking violently at the Word of the LORD!

The main speaker and woman of God told me, she said, “Sherry when you said and did that, I saw a legion of demons fall on their face at once.”

The part that really shocked me was, when I was standing with the woman of God who had my hand; suddenly I was in the cobra’s face!  So lightening fast!  It was like, I was there before I thought it.  A bit hard to explain, but I knew My body and Spirit were there before my thoughts were.

Well, I was just glad all was over for me.  I got everything ready to go and we left.  I understood later others tried to minister to the woman with the cobra headdress.  I knew my job was over, thank God!  Being bait for God can be a bit scary, but HE always shows up!

Does God still use me for bait?  Yes, at times.  He also uses me to catch souls on land and sea for the kingdom.  I know for a fact, if the HOLY SPIRIT does use me as bait again, HE will certainly harvest His “Catch Of The Day!  Amen?  So be it Lord!

“Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.  Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.  For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, ‘Fear not; I will help thee.  Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee,’ saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.  Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.  Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel,”   Isaiah 41:11-16 KJV.

Discerning Words

God wants to take us back from the failure’s of life to fix the outcome. Failure’s can end up causing divisions unless they are dealt with.

God wants to take us back from the failure’s of life to fix the outcome.  Failure’s can end up causing divisions unless they are dealt with.

We must be healed of former times to enter the new time.  This is because we want to bring freedom to the captives; our brethren and the lost.  God wants us to have that expected end.

Our deep foundation must be mastered as detour’s are actually set backs to set us up for our destiny.  It’s wonderful being on top of the mountain but our greatest maturity comes from the valley of decisions.

God will take you farther than you could ever imagine, as your surrender to Him and His process.  You shall flourish.  Keep moving forward even through all of the seemingly detours, turns, twists and the desire to quit.  When God is at work in your lives, He never misses a thing.  Nothing about your life is wasted.  Let the Word quit never be a Word for the rest of your life.

There are no short cuts, not paying dues in going forward with God.  It will require you to pick up your cross and follow Him daily.

It is best to learn to be quiet.  Be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath.  If you continually speak and fail to spend time with God you will do so much damage, like a bull in a china shop.

A person is known by the words they speak and the actions of their lives.

“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil,”   Hebrews 5:14.

I have seen such a spirit of competition, those who want to rise to the top without having the proper training and growth.

“For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?  Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.  Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil,”   1 Timothy 3:5-7.

All of these things beloved are so important to have working within us.  It takes time to know someone and to be in union with them.  Learning to listen what words are said will show us the condition of the heart.  Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

In my own life I have found that the LORD allows me to be provoked, to a reaction, to action.  It is not that the LORD doesn’t know me, it is that God knows our heart and wants us to see what is there in ourselves.  I know personally that having issues surface, shows me that I need a lot of help from the LORD to continue to be like him.

God even provoked Israel to jealousy.

“I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall?  God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.  Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world,and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?  For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office; If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them,”   Romans 11:11-14.

There are those who are stealing words for fleshly benefit.  It is witchcraft, manipulation, control to gain popular approval.  Indeed it is false.

To those that I love I rebuke says the LORD.

King Saul took upon himself to do the sacrifice that only Samuel was to do as prophet.  Saul was moved by the people instead of obeying God and for that lost his position.

Wait on the LORD and refuse to speak for him until you know for sure.  There are many voices out there but to hear the voice of God one must seek Him and have a relationship with HIM.

Are we trustworthy with authority?  Is it popular when God wants us to weep between the porch and the altar?  It will cost everything to serve God.

He shows us areas of error as we are provoked, to reaction, to action.  To teach us and prepare us for maturity. Even when we are mature, we all have much to learn.  The LORD wants us to change and be more like HIM.

We must learn to cooperate with the process.  You want true authority?  It will cost you everything.

As we mature and allow HIM to become flesh in us, It is what refines and defines us that lets us know when we are ready.

Correction is a good word…  may we never forget it.
