The Timing Of The Corporate Center

My thoughts beloved; I am NOT my own. I have been bought with an expensive, costly price. Jesus is Lord of my life always!  I was taught that my righteousness is like filthy rags.

My thoughts beloved; I am NOT my own.  I have been bought with an expensive, costly price.

Jesus is Lord of my life always!  I was taught that my righteousness is like filthy rags.

When I received the Lord, I said NO to demonic chatter!

There are those religious spirits who feel they must control us and act as our sheriff or umpire, calling us out!  I had to learn and realize that I am part of a bigger picture.  It is not me, myself and I.  NO!  It is Christ in me, the hope of glory!.

When we think we are ALL we need, we are tipping closer toward calamity.  We cannot live the life of the flesh and religion and be free; It is impossible, beloved!

The chasm has widened and there are no more gray areas!  The time is come for all people to return to their first love.

Hear this beloved!  The chasm has widened and no longer able to live with one foot in and the other foot out.

We must know the times we are in.  Know your enemy!

All religion, in all forms, is a return to bondage.  You started off good, then what happened to take that joy away?

An evangelist promised that if you came forward, you would be saved and cleansed of all sin.  What happened?  Why isn’t it joyful like it was when we received Christ?  What happened?

Well sounding and well meaning demonic inspired people found you and they began working on your mind to get you to doubt and not believe the truth.

Oh so sorry to have to say that!  However it is necessary to know your enemy!

That is the most important thing to know in warfare; know your enemy!  These types of spirits work through well meaning people.

The enemy is often far more serious about attendance at Church, rather than true believers are!

Picture this, a huge 10,000 seat Church filled with people and God opens your eyes and you see a small group of true believers in the center of that place.  It is shocking when he opens your eyes!

Many so called Christians are nothing but religious spirits!  They are staunch, miserable people!  Just listen to what they say.

They don’t teach you the freedom we have in Christ!  These spirits know who you are, even though the people don’t.

Beloved of God, we must be equipped with the gift of discerning of spirits.  We must come into the corporate anointing; the gathering of those of one heart, one mind and one accord.  Don’t you hear the sound to be ready?

Being part of a corporate body provides safety and many wonderful benefits beloved!  God has a place for you to plug into; even if it is on-line.

Social media gatherings and the Five Fold Ministry are just as inspired by God as big name Church groups!  Know who you are and don’t be shaken.

There are groups of people who are demonically inspired religious people!  Most times these don’t know why they act ugly to you.

Then there are true demoniacs who know what they are doing.  I guarantee beloved, that what is in them doesn’t want you to get free and appear on the scene with the anointing of Truth!  You can learn a lot by listening in silence.

“And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,”   1 Thessalonians 4:11 KJV.

Self righteousness and pride seek to divide.  When we seek to preserve our flesh instead of dying to the flesh, it leads us further down the slope of religious deception and heeding the voices of devils.

When we come to Christ, we enter His Kingdom.  We are one in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

We are no longer alone, but we have become part of the body of Christ.

We are part of an amazing plan that God knows about, and we are no longer just an individual, but part of the amazing bigger picture of union with His Body.

The LORD desires us to be one with HIM!  His corporate body are mutually dependent and accountable, one to the other.

Each gift is so needed to function in harmony.  How can I say I don’t need a prophet or apostle?  Would you actually say to your eyes that you don’t need them?

Religious people/ spirits strive and divide!  They seemingly flourish so to speak, because of popular doctrines which they push like drug dealers.

These people don’t want to hear the truth.  These people feed among half truths and promote chaos and drama wherever they go.

Their goal is to shake you and seek to devour you!  Give no more place to the devil.  Remain among those who are one heart, one mind and one accord.

Those who rebel and seek to destroy a precious soul, fight against God.  These impostors go about making their own little Prophet’s Corner, or Apostle’s Cafe and say “Come on and have a heyday!”

They are those who say or live with the attitude that says; I am my own prophet, my own savior, and my own deliverer!

They are clearly self deluded and anchored in pride.  A twisting spirit is in their mouths, just like a Leviathan, swinging its tail, seeking to twist your words and beliefs.  It is his last ditch effort to roll you over and over, so you are confused.

Give no more place or room for the lies and attempts at twisting words.  Don’t listen to them, or give any place to the devil.

Don’t let him steal your peace or rob you of harmony in the body of Christ.  The Word of God is near thee, even in your heart and mouth, in the words you speak.

As I close this portion of teaching, I would advise to find your place and plug into it.

I would also say that we are not a island to ourselves.  We fit somewhere!

I am not my own and I don’t belong to me.  I die, so HE lives big in me and I receive His righteousness.

The middle man was cut out for us over two thousand years ago.  His name is Jesus!

He took our place and gave gifts to man.  The remnant is learning we all are part of a bigger picture!

We are transitioning and coming into alignment into the corporate body.  Don’t be late!

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent,”   Acts 17:30 KJV.

“And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not,”   Revelation 2:21 KJV.

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent,”   Revelation 3:19 KJV.

Spiritual Command Center – Briefings!

Man usually measures things in life by the numbers that are met.  When we look at society’s way of success, it is usually just the opposite in God.

Man usually measures things in life by the numbers that are met.  When we look at society’s way of success, it is usually just the opposite in God.

Our success in God is based on our obedience to HIM and his Word.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success,”   Joshua 1:8 KJV.

I want God to be pleased when HE sees what I do in private, for that is truly when the rubber meets the road.

Man measures everything by how things are presented and or how many hits do they get!

Man looks at numbers, and GOD looks at the heart.  How do we judge and measure our own heart?

It is so easy to fall into the pattern of men pleasers, legalism and religious spirits.  The LORD has been showing me about people who say they are of God, who are plagiarizing words that belong to another.

Why would a person of God do this?

What motives do you think would cause someone to do this?

Do we think God is pleased with that?

When we see what is popular or what seems successful, I have noticed that when words are posted, anointed and bring in a powerful boom, people are quick to grab on to what is being said, hoping to grab the tail end to get the approval or to be considered one of the popular vote.

I have noticed more clearly, that others who try to tap into someone else’s gifting, long for the popularity, fruit and the notoriety they see it brings in your lives.

No one knows what you went through to gain such gifting, and the mandatory humility involved, accept God.

Titles mean nothing without the authentic fruit of God’s Spirit, the gifts of God’s Spirit that are forged in the fire of refinement.

The person gains self gratification because it is all about their ego and a neurotic need to be like you or be YOU!  They desperately need their success and it is about that person and their success.

I have also watched how these respond when they don’t see the effects in their own life.  They get so desperate and think God will pass them by!

It is really a major issue and problem in the body of Christ.

These don’t see what God has for them, so they want YOU!  They will set a target it in their life and they will purpose to make themselves indispensable to you, even invading private places between you, the LORD, and also invade your time with family.

I have dealt with those who seek to ride the anointing in my life and God has allowed this to teach ME and others.  We all must have fruit of the gift God gives.

I have found personally, that the majority are there to promote themselves while they piggyback to a true prophetic word or gift of the LORD.

This beloved, is called prostituting the anointing.  It also has all the signs and symptoms of Witchcraft and Jezebel.

I have watched quietly when a powerful Word of God is written and published, it is like a feeding frenzy and a swarm of hornets, pretending to be bees.

Not everyone is for you!  Even when they give all sorts of praise and flattery to the cause.

We must remember a flattering mouth worketh ruin!  Some of these people don’t even realize what they are doing.

Man can be sincere and sincerely wrong when motives are not in check.  When God allows us to see behind the scenes, there are those jealous because they want what YOU have!

These will act like wonderful friends to begin with, but they are making you out like you are some sort of indispensable part of themselves!  One sign is they must be in control of all you do!

These will build you up with words and then as the relationship continues they become more aggressive of everything you do!

Why?  Because it must be done the same for them too!

If they cannot get the words from God, they will convince you that they are hearing the same thing!  Then it proceeds becoming control and manipulation.  They can’t get the words from God, so they become jealous of you.

If they can’t gain any notoriety and be part of what they see in you, they will turn away and rely on others words to make them accepted!

Watch this prayerfully as they will turn on you with vengeance.  Forgive, release them and let them go.

God is wanting to get to the heart conditions, not to promote someone’s own self agenda.  We need to stop creating Ishmael’s because of our unbelief and doubt.

God sees our motives and sees the heart of the matter.  The main player is the pride and Ego of man.

I have found that many do this and fail to see it within themselves.  These have such a desire to make their ministry happen, that they seek do we judge by the numbers of people who feed our egos?

We think we are falling behind when God is actually wanting to prepare you hold on and not try and make anything happen.  It takes years of preparation and testings.

We each have our own gifts and talents why do we feel we must find approval beloved?  The first and the last approval we are to seek is God’s approval.  I have found that many seek approval and fail to see it within themselves.

There is nothing wrong with encouraging a brother or sister to keep on pressing in.  It is so needed in the body!  We must learn to encourage ourselves in the LORD.

Is your success in God private or do you feel you must prove something to another person?  Do we search for approval by the numbers of responses?

Do we believe our personal success is based on the numbers of people we think we need?

We cannot see success by superficial fluffy stuff!  I would rather have a few good and faithful friends and fellow laborers than thousands of numbers!

Just think about it;  we could have very few friends and the rest of them deceptive and not of God.

Remember how the LORD was angry when David numbered Israel.  This is not a secular lifestyle, so secular things cannot abide in God’s kingdom.  Popularity is a place where we must master, only looking back as a hurdle before we moved on with God.

“And David’s heart smote him after that he had numbered the people.  And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.  For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying, Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.  So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days’ pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me,”   2 Samuel 24:10-13 KJV.

Leviathan Strategy:

This evil principality, Leviathan, has been working behind the scenes for centuries.

Some of the signs or symptoms of this principality are; to block the flow, cause confusion and slander.

Leviathan seeks to contaminate each word, each person in a way that is twisted in meaning; causing chaos motivated by pride.  It bombards with slander, to discredit and to twist words.

The evil principality when it recognizes it is loosing, takes a sweep with its tail to wipe out as much as possible as it leaves.  Just as Jezebel, both of these demons are against all anointing on ministry; to destroy ministry.

When this plan is revealed by a prophet, it shocks most people who can’t recognize it, but suddenly at that moment, they have clarity and realize why, how and what happened. It brings needed revelation to the church.

This Leviathan knows it is loosing this battle and it will provoke a action to reaction within the person affected.

Most of these people don’t understand why they feel the way they do.  These feel physically attacked by others, and they react with twisted words to choke others.

As the spirit is losing its place of control, the provoked person then desperately tries to find others so they can slander or allow bitterness to gain access, causing a twisting of words to take over to validate their feelings.

We must learn how to help people release spirits without them lashing out and hurting others as they leave.

We must learn to MASTER these things to be effective leaders and team players for preparing God’s people for works of service!

We are living in the hour when satan is throwing out everything in his arsenal!

Spiritual Warfare rages against our Spiritual Body and all around the world!

We must hear, heed and lead the way, in Jesus’ name!

Whose Mission Do You Promote?

There was once a young prophet who was sent by God to deliver a message to a king. God clearly instructed him not to stop and abide anywhere, but to come straight back, with no detours.

There was once a young prophet who was sent by God to deliver a message to a king.

God clearly instructed him not to stop and abide anywhere, but to come straight back, with no detours.

The young prophet prophesied concerning the judgment as he was told by God.  On his way home, the young prophet happened to meet an older prophet who had heard what was said and done through the word of the LORD.

The older prophet urged the younger prophet to come aside and eat and drink and be refreshed.

The younger prophet adamantly stated that he cannot stop, but must continue on the way home, as stated by the word of God.  But the older prophet lied and deceived the younger prophet, so he would heed him and come to his abode.

The older prophet said it was surely God’s will for him to eat and drink and be refreshed awhile.  The younger prophet, against his better judgment, heeded and relented.

The older prophet, through much control and manipulation, encouraged the younger prophet to eat and drink.  While they ate, suddenly the spirit of prophecy overtook the older prophet and he HAD STRONG WORD to prophesy to that younger prophet!

The LORD said he would die, for not being obedient to the LORD!

It matters not who or what the obstacle is that stands in your path to obedience with the Lord;  one must never deviate from that path!

As the young prophet quickly left the older prophet’s home, a lion met him and he was killed by the lion.  The lion and the donkey then stood by the road, to one side of the young prophet’s corpse.

Conviction came upon the older prophet and when he was told of it, he went to see this great sight, to see the lion and donkey still standing by the corpse, seemingly as a sign and wonder!

The older prophet grieved for the young man after the fact.  He was so convicted, that he said that when he died, he wanted to be buried in the same spot with the young prophet.

Just because a man or woman of God are highly favored and mature, aged and refined, doesn’t mean they know your assignment or requirements.

What did God tell you?  It matters not who they are or what they say.

What takes the preeminence is to obey God!  Be true to God, and let every man be a liar.

“God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged,”   Romans 3:4 KJV.

In your Christian walk, you shall be tested with this important point; TO STAY ON TARGET!

People will even get angry with you when you tell them “NO, because the LORD said No!”

God told the younger prophet exactly as He commanded.  He deviated due to what he reasoned in his mind and saw in his own experience.

The younger prophet doubted, since the older one had such persona and was so reassuring as he lied to him!  Thus, the young prophet doubted his own mission.

How many people have twisted your arm and caused you to doubt your mission?

What gets us in trouble?  Unbelief and doubt?  Thank God for grace, mercy and forgiveness.

That younger prophet was deceived through another prophet of God with a lie.  Imagine this happening to you?  This was a big lesson to all those who watched it unfold.

Maturity isn’t age or status; and not always or automatically God.

God was teaching all involved in this situation.

When in doubt, it is always best to remain on task with God’s plan at the beginning.  Always wait and return to your first love, to that love relationship which is always our first assignment.

Don’t deviate your path until the LORD begins releasing you.

This is a lesson we each must learn from God.  When things are confusing and foggy and you cannot get clarity; It is always good to go back to what God said at first.

Spiritual fog brings a deafening silence and confusion.  The motion suddenly stops and leaves an eerie silence.

Trust and remain steadfast to God!  God did not deviate His message!  Just because there are some who think they know better than you do; stand firm!

Just because people have needs and want your attention, doesn’t mean we fill it.  Be not hasty and miss the way!

*Study* 1 Kings chapter 13.

Rules Without Relationship

You cannot expect harvest to remain by preaching hell, fire and brimstone when a person doesn’t understand the God kind of love.

You cannot expect harvest to remain by preaching hell, fire and brimstone when a person doesn’t understand the God kind of love.

Yeah, I will probably get called on that statement.  It is through His loving kindness that HE leads us to repentance.

As a woman of God, I have watched through the years and experienced these things first hand and I have NEVER known of one person remaining in Christ, when they were strong armed into fear and scared to the altar.

Fear doesn’t keep a person with God, LOVE DOES.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.  We are to be as children coming to a good, good Father!  We grow by that same principle.

For example, I watched personally a woman from years ago who came to a meeting that majored on hell, fire and brimstone.  These messages indeed were putting people into fear instead of faith.

The woman was so terrified that she ran to the altar.  Afterwards, she did what everyone told her to do.

For a few months, I watched as she tried to be perfect to please the religion.  Due to all the requirements, she got confused and burned out!  She did not understand religion and tradition.  She had no idea nor comprehended, God is Love.

The LORD had me pray for her and I watched her progress and process coming out of being a lesbian, as she asked for prayer.  I continued prayer and followed up on her.

Her motive in her confession was not love at all!  She was so afraid, and fear can never keep a person!  God’s Love and God’s fear brings wisdom!

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding,”   Proverbs 9:10 KJV.

“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.  And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.  Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first,”   Luke 24:24-26 KJV.

The woman came to church for a while because of fear, and but ended up back worse off than she was in the beginning.

She went back to being a lesbian.  She burned out trying to be some sort of perfect religious person and went back to being a lesbian.

The woman figured God didn’t want her, because it was so hard to be able to live up to their standard (she thought was God’s standard).  So she abandoned the religion and went back to her lesbian lifestyle.

Oh the Zoe life, “the God kind of life” that brings love, hope, and peace.

Church we need to use wisdom on leading people to salvation or deliverance.  God will through His lovingkindness lead to repentance.  If the motive in coming to Christ is anything but his lovingkindness, it is wrong and it won’t keep them.

We need to pay attention to this truth.

We must be ambassadors of hope!  Fear will never keep a person for very long.  The rules and regulations are too many to count.  God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind.

Either Jesus did it all, or we might as well close our doors.  None of us can do it.  It is all by faith in Christ.  To the religious we may be heretics, but in the beloved we are well know of the Father!

It is all Jesus from beginning to end.  He is Alpha and Omega, He is the beginning and the end and all there is in between!

We must teach that ‘rules without relationship equals rebellion’.  Religion makes things so hard that we can never live up to it.

It ‘religion’ attacks us when we don’t know who we are in Christ and causes us confusion and lack of peace.  Having a relationship with Christ is motivated by love. His love abides, his keeping love.

“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying,  Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee,”   Jeremiah 31:3 KJV.

May we always reflect the nature and character of Christ.  For rules without relationship equal rebellion.  None of us can measure up!  It is all Christ from beginning to end.

AMEN!
