CPR-Christ, Power, Rising

All the pressures the believers in Christ are facing and feeling are real!

All the pressures the believers in Christ are facing and feeling are real!

As the crescendo of pressures of all sorts are mounting up without relief of a seemingly solution, why is it that we feel our lives are so out of control and pressured in all we do?

Why do we feel frustrated and agitated?

There is an answer and a reason and it is so important that we heed the warnings!

Why is it that when we pray, there is no change and it seems our prayers are hitting the ceiling? Where’s the answers?

The answer will come as we conform into God’s order of things.

God is telling us NOW that we don’t have the time to waste! Jesus is coming!

He has put a burning in my heart and soul that won’t subside urging me to sound out to awaken and revive His people!

Yes, we pray for the world, our governments, our churches, and me, myself, and I etc. But the answer is closer than we think…

I had a vision of people laying all around on the ground asleep and some of them were near death, then others quite dead.

Then I saw myself administering CPR to the people!

Revival is NOT a few days of meetings that excite us but brings no lasting change!

True Revival wakes us the people through the convicting power of the Holy Spirit to awaken to life eternal!

To administer CPR to people, (CPR, Christ’s Power Rising) is to release Christ’s Power through us to Rise and Revive those from spiritual death!

Today with having so many churches on every corner, one would wonder why the church looks so much like the world!

The world is in so many churches with its socialistic agenda and false prophets and the ONLY way you will know the difference is to know the Word of God for yourself!

Don’t depend on a minister or reverend to feed you! Find out for yourself and read the Bible! Jesus, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. (John 1:14)

This type of temple or religion was in Jesus day too! Jesus gave scathing rebukes to the religious leaders of Jerusalem and prophesied of them to their faces!

Jesus wept over Jerusalem, “Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem how I long to gather you as a hen doth her chicks but you weren’t willing, therefore your house is left desolate.” (*Matthew 23:37-38).

Religious devils occupied the temple and it was the accepted religion of the day in mass, but the people could not live up to their demonic religious demands!

The religious leaders thought they would recognize Messiah when he would come, and HE came and they knew Him not!

Jesus not only left the temple and Jerusalem, he also left his home town of Nazareth because of unbelief. (*Mark 6:3-6)

Jesus went to where the people were! Jesus (The Word made flesh) also taught us how to live, how to reach the lost, and taught us how to die.

Jesus commissioned us believers to go into the highways and byways and compel them to come in!! He could only do what His Father said and He clearly has shown us how to pray and touch God for His leading.

The Church or “Temple” in Jesus’ day was a habitation of buzzards and all sorts of religious demons.

We are supposed to come out of this world and be separate, says The LORD. When you look at your church or temple, does it look more like the world?

We must read the Word of God, (the Bible) then compare. Looking at Jesus’ example of the Church is very different compared to many churches today. (*Matthew 23:37-38)

The LORD has not left us as orphans . He has given us provision and precious Holy promises through His Holy Word the Bible and it equips us to live and minister life to others!

He has taught us how to pray and gives us guidance throughout our lives! For His Word is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword piercing asunder the soul and spirit, joints and marrow and is a discerner of the very thoughts and intents of the heart. (*Hebrews 4:12)

Jesus has revealed that the majority of the church needs TRUE Revival due to the condition of the mainstream, modern, media church that has turned the church into a lifeless religion; filled with religious spirits, doctrines of devils and a spiritual spiraling, socializing, circus club atmosphere!

his is a dangerous time to not study God’s Word and compare it with our lives. The Bible is our ONLY Standard to measure ourselves by.

God is calling His Church to His Divine Order that is found in the Word of God! (The Bible) God is also calling His ministers to do CPR (Christ’s Power Rising) to release Christ’s Power through us to Raise the dead and Revive those in spiritual sleep or spiritual death!

However, as believers, we often fail to see results because we pray for outwardly things when we need to have our own Spiritual House in Order.

We fail to pray correctly, because it will cost us something! When we pray for ourselves and are satisfied with our mediocre lives, something is VERY wrong!

When we say we repent, but keep doing the same old things, we are deceived! To pray and not have corresponding repentance is a sign of spiritual blindness!

“I counsel you to buy from Me gold that has been heated red hot and refined by fire so that you may become truly rich; and white clothes [representing righteousness] to clothe yourself so that the shame of your nakedness will not be seen; and healing salve to put on your eyes so that you may see.” Revelations 3:18 AMP.

The answers are closer than we think! We say we conform into God’s order of things however, there are those in our own families that don’t know Jesus or those who are backslidden.

Have we been saying, “What’s going on and why is our world falling apart?”

The foremost reason is because Jesus is coming back sooner than we think! We only have to watch the news daily to see scripture being fulfilled!

God is refining his people and his prophets especially transforming all into the nature and image of Christ. As we behold Him in His Word, we will reflect Him to this world!

The more time we spend in the Word of God, the more we will reflect His nature and character to the world. We are to be as open books, living epistles seen and read of all men.

There will be persecution for the message we carry and we will feel it!

I pray that God will not leave us alone and that the persecution through man or demonic entities would drive us back to repentance and back to our first love relationship with The LORD. For truly times of refreshing come from the presence of The LORD!

We are living in perilous times, and the enemy is seeking any minuscule, small entrance into our lives to wreak havoc in us.

This is NOT the time to be Prayer Less or we will be very careless with our lives.

Prayer is NOT an option, but a necessity!

We’ve been bought with a price and I am praying for all those I know and those I don’t know online and offline!

We must understand, we can never go back to what was, we must live NOW and live Large in Christ!

The opposition and persecution coming, must move us to keep us close to Jesus’ His heart and mind and to eat His Word (Bible).

It is so important that we heed the warnings in scripture and through His Holy Prophets!

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate.” Matthew 23:37-38.

“Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.
But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.” Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching.” Mark 6:3-6.

“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12.

The Struggle of The Accuser and the Way We Overcome

Are you going through discouragement due to the unforgiveness of men; feeling worthless?

Are you going through discouragement due to the unforgiveness of men; feeling worthless?

Do you think the GOD you love, serve and ask for forgiveness would possibly reveal your forgiven secrets to others so they would blast them over the airwaves?

It is not God who brings up accusations of our past.

We are forgiven when we ask The LORD in sincerity. If The LORD chooses to forget, who are we not to forget?

As far as the east is from the west HE remembers our transgressions no more.

If there are other people judging you and bringing up your past, speaking gossip, slander, and things they think you have done; give no place to discouragement and accusation!

You let God be your vindicator and let God deal with those who curse you! You be who you are in Christ and give no place to their words and thoughts of you! Overcome evil with good!

Let Christ who is your light fill you with light, so that your light will shine before men that they will be ashamed for accusing your good behaviors. Your good words and works prove themselves!

This seems to be a theme right now for many that others think they “discern when it is actually accuse.” Satan is the accuser of the brethren.

We put to death the deeds of accusation by reminding the devil that he is the accuser of the brethren and that no one has that power or right over you to do anything! Remember our battle is not with flesh and blood!

“For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One), Being in readiness to punish every [insubordinate for his] disobedience, when your own submission and obedience [as a church] are fully secured and complete,” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Amplified Bible.

The LORD knows us better than we know ourselves and forgives us and HE forgets it! PERIOD!

“The day we ease from struggle is the day we die!”

When God forgives, HE cannot see it and there is no remembrance of it!

I praise The LORD that HE knows me and especially my heart. Aren’t you glad HE knows you?

Give those evil spiritually motivated people to God and with your attitude, kill them we kindness! Overcome evil with good!

Grace to Be, to Live, to Love, and to Win

To be a choice counselor and corrector of others that God will use, one must first be tested, and well-seasoned.

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9 KJV.

The judgmental person, criticizes and judges things they think they see, “yet cannot see.”

To be a choice counselor and corrector of others that God will use, one must first be tested, and well-seasoned.

The LORD has us go through many seasonings. The process reveals our own heart and soul to ourselves! We each go through these seasons of testing’s, but these are not designed to convince God of our readiness!

These cycles of testing are devised to prepare us to be in readiness to surrender to His Will. However, this is a very different type of readiness; to be ready to have the revelation of our own heart revealed to ourselves!

There are many who think they are wise and discern, but in actuality are guilty of judging others of things they have no clue about. Many are guilty of judging, as they think they rightly discerned The Body of Christ.

Job went through so much and God graced him to endure what we could never do. But in the end, when he began to go on the defense and was fed up with his friends’ “discernment,” he began to defend himself and then God rebuked him.

God was Job’s defense! Even though Job’s friends were steady at trying to discern, correct, and provoke Job of something he ‘must have done’ to deserve the fruits of the reality of his life.

Job began to list his credentials to his friends and defended himself and lashed out! It was at this point of time that he was confronted by God.

Job came to understand that there was a higher purpose that he had no idea about, and when he realized his error he immediately repented.

We don’t need to prove our rights or our innocence when we are judged or criticized by man. Even if a whole group of people accuse you to the world, we can know that we have a personal relationship with God and He is our defense.

To have security even if you are left all alone and accused, God knows you and with God there is a majority. God knows our heart and motives and he is our defense.

This is why Christ stood alone and never spoke a word when He was judged and sentenced; ‘as a lamb led to the slaughter is dumb,’ Jesus spoke not a word.

Jesus had given his total Will over to God as His defense and He knew The Will of God.

“Father …. not My will, but Yours, be done.” Luke 22:42.

God graced the Son of Man in that garden when he fell on his face in prayer. Jesus accepted The Will of the Judge of the whole world! Shall not the judge of the whole world do right?

The Son of Man knew He would drink of the cup of humiliation, suffering and crucifixion because of HIS great love and promise to us that receive Him as LORD.

There was a great payment that had to be met for the purchase of your eternal soul! For God so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life!

God graced the Son of Man to yield and obey the plan of God and endure till the end. God sent his Son for payment, as the only perfect sinless man to make payment for the sin for all have sinned.

Beloved, God graced our LORD to fulfill the promises He made, just as God graced Job to be able to endure.

God will not give us more than we can bear. As Christ did in the garden, so we too must rectify and settle it in our hearts to fulfill His plan in us. God will grace you to endure whatever price.

“Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” Job 42:3-6 KJV.

“Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.” Luke 6:42 KJV.

When we come face to face with our flesh and our deceitful heart is laid bare, then we will see properly our own depravity and total moral bankruptcy!

In our flesh dwells no good thing. To become revolutionary, bringing the message of The Cross for His Purpose is to realize what we are without Him, and we must learn to die daily to our fleshly deeds and deceitful heart.

We must die like the Son of Man finally surrendered to the Father’s Will as we too must accept God’s will and put to death the deeds of the flesh, so we can rise in newness of life.

We can do nothing until we realize it is all about Christ in us the Hope of Glory!

We must die to our will and purpose and begin to seek The Will of God in secret where He will reward us openly.

Like Abraham prayed and said, “HE is my exceeding great reward!” We have nothing to offer the world and The Church until we do.

Is service to Christ your highest reward in this life?

You may never be acknowledged by man or get rewards in this life, but is HE your greatest reward?

Put absolutely no confidence in the flesh and a deceitful heart! Our methods are all the same; we must become like the Son of Man.

He came with a mission to seek and save those who were lost. As we separate ourselves from others, we must learn to sit in His presence, pray, study, intercede and then He will have weighty and capable stewards He can use.

Is our reward HIM? What is our motives?

There are disciplines in life so you can face this world…. like waking up and getting dressed, eating, brushing your teeth etc.

In Christ there are spiritual disciplines as well for success, of starting your day in prayer, worship, study, regular fasting, and determining to obey The LORD. These are not optional! They are vital for your Spiritual fortitude and your journey!

We must choose whom we serve each day!

We have nothing to offer anyone except what is given to us. We must be first partakers of the fruits.

How much we determine to align ourselves with The LORD and fulfill his will in the earth will be determined by how much time is given to die daily to our flesh and dwell richly in His presence in prayer, study, worship, and obedience.

Once we know who we are, or rather HE knows who we are, and we have prepared ourselves for HIS mission, only then can we encourage and build up those who are trapped in the confines of self-made prisons, legalism, selfish ambitions, instead of prisoners of hope many are in prisons of their own making.

Religion and legalism are a return to bondage. Do you feel free today? Or has someone or a religious group taken the place of the Holy Spirit in your life to manipulate you to do things their way, leading to further bondage?

When Christ came he set us free from the law of sin and death. He set us free, AND he did not put a yoke on you that you can’t carry.

If your yoke is too heavy you need to come aside alone and seek God and ask Him why you feel so weighted!

A religious group or spirit will make you feel heavy and exhausted for you are spinning that wheel like that hamster and going nowhere. His Yoke is easy and his burden light. In other words, He created your yoke to fit you exactly and he gives you grace to wear it!

Just as religion was in Jesus’ day, it is alive and well in many churches and groups. To have great mental health and spiritual help, you need to run as fast as you can from these groups and don’t turn back, they will spend your life and wear you out as they use you, and when you can’t handle the pressure anymore and they shun you and you are no longer in their circle they cast you aside when you don’t fulfill their manipulated purposes.

If you are in this place today, there is hope beloved, you are in process of getting free! Trust God and if they all forsake you, God is greater and he will never leave you or forsake you!

You need to ask yourself, is what you do motivated by your time spent with God or by doing all sorts of rules and regulations that start to weigh you down and put you in chains?

You need to do a faith check, do you have no time anymore for family or time with your relationship with God?

I believe Jesus was clear to us in scriptures, and his harsh rebukes were against the religious leaders of the day in the Synagogue. Christ has paid the price and his sacrifice set us free from the law of sin and death.

Only God knows the motives of the heart, for God truly knows the depth of our soul, and even when our own heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.

The heart is deceitfully wicked who can know it. Once we understand this about “US” then we are faithful counselors and witnesses that God can use.

The depths of God’s Mercy and Kindness toward us is overwhelming! Often, we do not see our own heart, that is why we must depend on The LORD in prayer, worship, study of God’s Word, and obedience.

We all are the temple of God and we each have the responsibility to hear God and ask God to fill us and live in us. No one or nothing can fill that place that God wants in us.

Through our own heart and motive we learn through by experience. And through this we are built as a Spiritual faithful house.

We have and will continue to learn by experience God’s amazing Grace and Mercy toward us! As we grow into Him as His Holy temple which you are, He will entrust us with others to share with by giving us pieces of knowledge for them and as He is trusting us we will have come to understand the truth in us that sets us free!

God doesn’t give anyone total fully revealed truth, for we walk by faith and not by sight, but when He gives us glimpses into a person’s heart, we must be trustworthy!

There will be many in your lives that will have pieces of the mystery and words of knowledge that will bless you along the journey.

You must never put your total trust and obedience in man, it is to God that you belong and to Him that you serve.

Your journey of God’s Grace and Mercy will have you cross paths with many. Some will stay and others maybe for a short period, but when God connects it is always to benefit your life. It may be for prayers, or be given insight shared to others.

In whatever case in the course of your lives there shall be many, many others who will read of your seemingly impossible storm-tossed life, and read how Grace conquered all!

However, in closing, the wise will glean from your years of gaining HIS perception through Grace and His Grace will lead you home!

“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:6 KJV.

“And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.” Luke 18:13 KJV.

“And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” Matthew 7:25 KJV.

“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:6 KJV.

God Is Pinpointing Something

Many are floundering in their faith and many things have shifted, and we all must accept that things will never be the same again.

Many are floundering in their faith and many things have shifted, and we all must accept that things will never be the same again.

This new era is like when Nehemiah heard the call to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. While building back the walls of defense they all had to learn through experience to have a tool in one hand and a weapon in the other.

Our faith is being tested in the building. Whatever our faith is founded on other than God will fall away.

No matter whatever may come, our faith must be founded on God’s Word not in man. We cannot put anything or anyone before Him. He is a jealous God.

Never in all time has our faith and focus ever been so challenged as it is now! There are so many voices to hear and we err when we heed them instead of being focused on God’s Word!

The world is teetering on the brink of disaster, but we are not led by what we hear, see, or feel. If we leave God out by opting for a prophet’s word instead of hearing him for ourselves we will be deceived.

Our faith is a rock of foundation a stone in which our security lies. Our faith in Christ never changes because it is through our relationship with The LORD in prayer; focusing on the Word of God.

“Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, The LORD, the creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to the that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall; but they that wait upon The LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31 KJV.

Many have been on a type of hamster’s wheel spinning, but going nowhere. Spiritual, emotional, and physical burnout is a real experience.

Spiritually, when we spin our wheels in our belief system but get nowhere, eventually our energy level fades and we face failure in our faith.

Eventually, the flawed belief system we have held on to comes into full view and we must face the facts in God and face our own logic.

Our focus on God and HIS Word is THE foundation of our entire lives.

We can choose to get off that wheel at any time but for many of us we hold on to things because we truly believe them.

God lets us continue on our path to teach us something very important. Life has many challenges and lessons that we have no control over but in God, our lessons will be according to our faith as our final outcome.

Just like becoming exhausted physically over labor or trial, we can become totally exhausted, spiritually, from the “process of growth” in our faith.

Somewhere in that process, God is pinpointing something — wanting us to learn something — before we can ever forge ahead.

God knows when we are ready to forge into the deeper things of God. When we seemingly go around and around the same mountain, again and again, it becomes disheartening and brings discouragement.

We must ask The LORD what is wrong with our belief system, that keeps us in the same loop year after year. i.e. Where we have missed it?

The LORD is wanting us to learn something. Have you ever had an experience where you started out right but failed the test ending up wrong?

It’s like spinning our wheels thinking we are on a journey when we find we were chasing our own tail arriving at the same place.

Like the Israelites, are we still camped out in the same position not learning the lesson? These times of discouragement are hard, because we put so much energy into what we believed.

We walk by faith and not by sight. In Christ, we learn through our experiences. To move forward, we must learn the lessons that came through the journey and learn to live a life of repentance, dusting ourselves off and getting back up and begin again!

We are the only one who can choose to get off that hamsters’ wheel. So many in the Church experience burnout, and they suffer total exhaustion. It is a real experience.

When our experience in our growth remains the same year after year, burnout is a real experience. To waste time in energy, or being idle, or neither progress or regress these are the “spinning wheels” and many are in this position.

To continue going around the same mountain, doing the same things over and over expecting a different outcome, won’t happen!

We must ask God what is wrong with our belief system and what we need to do about it.

Finally, our prayer time and study of God’s Word contain in it all of our answers.

Ultimately God always has the final say. He may be silent, and we may not understand what is happening and some things we may never know fully, but we know He is, was, and will ever be our faith, hope, and trust!

In HIS Grace and Mercy,
