Our Choices Affect Others

The LORD spoke: “A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle!”

There was a man I knew and he had a powerful call of God on him, over 22 years ago.

The man loved me as a sister in Christ and treated me well as we always talked about The LORD.

One day The LORD made things clearly known to me about this brother and I prophesied over him and told him exactly what God said and what would happen if he rebelled and walked away.

Suddenly things got weird and all the calls and times of prayer stopped. I was so sad as I knew he made a decision that would affect many people. “Our choices affect others. We are not alone.”

In the brother’s face and body were the signs of his rebellion. As I beheld him his body was distorted from grudges, hatred, malice, unforgiveness, bitterness “that defiles many” and the stronghold of pride.

Sadly, I knew he had rebelled and walked away from The LORD, and from that moment on he hated me with a passion.

He blamed me for everything wrong in his life. Those things that were prophesied happened and he wanted me to be gone out of his life, because I was a reminder of his rejection of God’s call in his life.

The brother was extremely controlling and manipulative and instead of facing himself, he had to blame me. That man wanted me gone and tried to do everything in his power to snub me and not even speak to me or acknowledge me as a person.

The man had heard from God himself about the call,and I had only confirmed it. Since a lot of that prophetic Word came to pass right away, the man went about having to prove to himself — that I was wrong and he was right.

He has carried that rebellion in him since that prophecy and doesn’t want anything to do with serving God.

He has carried that rebellion a long time and it has affected everyone around him. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as idolatry. (1 Samuel 15:23)

His rationale was because, if I was right, he would be responsible for what he clearly heard from God many years ago.

He was told exactly what would happen to the minute detail, and soon the calls stopped and I knew he rejected the call. From then on, he has lived the consequences of his decision and choices, but blames me for it all and won’t even speak to me after we had been so close.

I agonized over the division through the years and I watched him become so isolated and bitter. I have asked God so many times over the years to lead me to him to repent if I did something wrong.

I was willing to humble myself and I still am. I asked God to show me what to do and had every intent on going to him as a sister in Christ and to humble myself.

What happened next floored me!

As I made up my mind to go to him and seek his forgiveness, I was preparing to go, and The LORD suddenly stopped me and spoke to me clearly and arrested me on the spot to hear The Counsel of The LORD.

Suddenly my Spirit, mind, and body were clear and all doubt and unbelief were not even in the vicinity. I knew I had an epiphany from God — then suddenly The LORD spoke to me….

“A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle,” (Proverbs 18:19 KJV).

The LORD had shown me the stronghold of pride, arrogance and haughtiness within him — and The LORD spoke this to me;

“Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom,” (Proverbs 13:10 KJV).

I know that strife and contention breed every evil work along with bitterness that not only defiles him but also defiles many. That means it spreads like cancer and does such damage in the lives of those people he resides with and those he is associated to.

“Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled,” Hebrews 12:15 KJV.

Then The LORD said that the brother wouldn’t receive and accept me or my apology and that it would make things worse as he would twist it and would use it against me if I tried to fix it.

He further stated that I needed to pray, release him and give him over to God and let it go, and move on — because I had done all I could do.

I have learned there are those, no matter how hard we try, we cannot reach and seek peace from them.

Had I gone to the brother outside of The LORD’s Will, I would have gotten in the way of God’s judgment (chastisement) and I would have made it worse and he would have more ammo, information to spew out of his mouth.

God knows the rest of the story and knows what it will take for that brother — but as for me?

My time being blamed and bothered by his offense is over and my mind clear.

I forgive, lose that man and let him go! God tells us to cast our cares on The LORD, release the burden to him for he cares for us!

Do you have a relationship like this?

I challenge you to come aside and wait upon The LORD for just because there is a need that doesn’t mean you fill it.

Loose those ones you cannot help and let them go beloved. God knows exactly what and who you are and knows your future. He is a good, good, God, and trust Him to connect those together with like heart mind and Spirit!

The Awakening on Social Media

The Fear of The LORD is the beginning of Wisdom, and in these last days, the coming harvest will emerge.

The Fear of The LORD is the beginning of Wisdom, and in these last days, the coming Harvest will emerge and we will have much to do as we will live, speak, and walk out God’s Wisdom!

We are to be living epistles or letters seen and read of all men. Much is happening and it all has to do with awakening! Awakening, Revival, and the Harvest are coming!

There will be so many souls that will need spiritual help, and we need to be ready, for no amount of organized Church buildings will be able to house the souls that respond during this major end-time event.

The use of the internet, or ‘social media’ will help immensely, educating many, and will provide many ministry services even to those in out of reach places; all they need is a signal from a satellite.

Who would have ever thought that you could watch television on a little screen held in your hand or displayed on your wrist, just thirty years ago?

I remember the day The LORD told me to create a web page and that I would write His Prophetic Words when I didn’t even know how to get on a computer or surf the web!

You may wonder why God would ask me to do something I had never done. Not only did The LORD speak to me to create a web page, but he also gave me a time frame in which it would be done.

He told me May 31, 1998 — Feast of Pentecost — to begin, and that the web page would be done by the end of June!

This was quite a feat since I had no idea how to work a computer.

I had no idea what to do, so I prayed and sat down and asked my son to show me how to get on-line and to surf the web.

I took off exploring, learning all I could and I was amazed how much information and prophetic words and teachings were out there.

I don’t know how I did what I did, but I always ended up landing on various prophetic pages and would read for hours. As I read prophecy, I felt like I was reading coded orders of what he was telling me to do!

During a Church Service on a Friday night, I had visions of an ink well, a writer’s quill, then a fountain pen and notebook, then I saw a computer keyboard.

The LORD asked me, “Daughter, what do these things have in common?” I said, “Writing LORD!” Then He said, “You’re right, and you shall write all I give to you.”

The different symbols in the vision all signified means of writing and the advances in communications.

There were several that had Godly visions and dreams during this pivotal time frame. One said she had a dream and stated that she saw a room filled with people and a lot of clamor. She heard lots of voices speaking negatively against what God was saying to me.

But she related that none of the distractions were hindering what I had to do. She said that I was confident as I opened the door God told me to go through.

As I walked through the door, it appeared to be outside. It was a beautiful spring day and on the ground was a huge white sheet that went as far as the eye could see.

The edges of the page were emerald green and the sheet was pure white. A woman I know related that two people I know walked out on the white sheet, then she said I prophesied, “Your mouth, your hands, and feet.”

Then immediately these two people fell down on the white page and the power of God was all over them. Then she said I walked out on the white sheet and I too fell on the white page under the power of God.

That was the end of her dream. The LORD gave me the interpretation the next morning.

The pure white sheets represent a web page, the pure white, symbolic of the purity of the words and the means by which they are written.

The emerald green border symbolic of a new beginning. The size of the page as far as the eye can see, represents the ramifications of influence and international scope, for there seemed to be no end, like looking at the horizon.

The prophecy, “Your mouth, your hands, and feet,” means that the spoken, written, walked out word of God shall multiply beyond our traditional methods. We will literally walk out the living Word of God, for we stand on His Word!

Social media and all of cyberspace belong to The Kingdom of God and we are to possess it by force.

Possessing the land — includes the internet.

The ramification of influence is in every nation, tribe, and tongue, also in isolated lands and areas! We shall go into all the world, “including cyberspace,” with the gospel of Jesus Christ!

I almost forgot! The web page was up and running by June 24, 1998, to the Glory of God the Father!

More to Come……………

Introduction to the Life of the Biblical Prophet

These days when prophets are so prevalent in the nation we must also understand their role in our lives, church, nationally, and internationally.

These days when prophets are so prevalent in the nation we must also understand their role in our lives, church, nationally, and internationally.

Prophets communicate by God, these go through such breakings and hardness that they cannot compromise the messages they carry.

There are false prophets, whom you can see clearly over cultic churches. I am not speaking of these today.

There are others who are so very dangerous to the Church. These false prophets are not as clear, because they are very deceptive and religious.

The spirit of religion is a deadly spirit — as they claim to represent God themselves and deceive with false words, signs, and lying wonders.

There are immature prophets who prophesy in the flesh, who need more breaking of self and God is able to break them.

Then there are those who prophesy out of their own heart or soul. Both false prophets and immature prophets seek to please their flesh as they think being a prophet brings them fame, glory, and honor.

Hollywood type thinking is NOT the life of a true prophet! God is the only one who deserves all the fame, glory, and honor!

God himself calls and equips the true prophet to that office.

Then there are those who can cause extreme damage — as Balaam — who prophesied for hire.

There are those who speak in Churches, who only say ‘soft words’ and are controlled by the leader(s).

But when a true prophet comes on the scene to bring godly correction and change, when the people cannot control the prophet, these will seek to destroy the prophet’s reputation, character, nature, or even try to kill their body.

Prophets are extremely sensitive to God’s heart. These represent God’s mind and voice.

God must train these prophets to never fear man or man’s opinions. The Fear of The LORD burns within them along with Godly Wisdom.

Many may think prophets seem harsh and unforgiving. But on the contrary, to know a true prophet you learn that they are very human, yet they have a hard outer shell and they love to come aside and prefer spending time with The LORD in prayer, than to be in social gatherings.

True prophets are very human, but these become so strong outwardly in the face of man, and inwardly, they are strong concerning who they are in Christ and what God wants them to do.

However, it isn’t easy for any prophet. The cost isn’t something you would want if you could see into their lives. True prophets cannot fear or impress man.

True prophets seem hard and unmovable, because of the messages they face and carry.

In many cases, they had to learn to say NO to many things that others may have the liberty to say yes to!

Prophets don’t wake up strong, they go through pressure to tenderize them in humility and obedience, so they can be choice vessels God can use. These are deeply rooted, planted by The River of God.

When prophets stand against sin in the Church, or with kings and nations, these may look proud, but it isn’t pride or arrogance that you see; it is actually a high level of confidence and assurance in whom they serve and speak for.

Prophets cannot be moved by man’s opinion or persecution — even if they stand alone. They have God and all of heaven’s resources backing them up, even if they are put into prison for their message.

In this small article, my objective in teaching is not an exhaustive manual on prophets. I am only acknowledging that true prophets are on the scene.

God has raised them up for such a time as this and it is important that you thank God for them.

If you know, meet, or hear of a prophet pray for them and bless them for they stand in the gap for you, your Church, nation, and the nations of the world.

More to come beloved…….

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

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,” Ephesians 4:11-12 KJV.

“But he that prophesies speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort,” 1 Corinthians 14:3 KJV.

“And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I The LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream,” Numbers 12:6 KJV.

“Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core,” Jude 1:11 KJV.

Your True Friends

The LORD says, “There are many impostors, pretenders, and hypocrites who think they can infiltrate and find a place of weakness in you!”

“There are many impostors, pretenders, and hypocrites who think they can infiltrate and find a place of weakness in you!

They also target your loyal friends whom you have tested and tried. These hypocrites are committed to drawing away My beloved Sons and Daughters!

Know this! These look to find any weakness to draw My beloved away from Me and to skew the path I have planned for them.

Beloved Listen! Be aware of these tactics and let no one lull you away into complacency from full devotion to Me.

I see an attack of exhaustion happening to many of you to wear you down and out! When you see this stop, regroup, centering yourself in prayer on Me,” says The LORD.

Get still, be still, quiet, and know that I AM God.

Be loyal faithful friends to those whom I have shown you. These friends will be there for you when you need them even when you make blunders and fall!

These friends base your life now and in the future on their relationship with Me and what I have shown them!

There are sunny days and stormy days ahead in every relationship but I want you to know that there are not many who can count friends this way, but for those whom I have said you shall be blessed as I layer more support and weaponry to aid you in times of warfare and weakness.

Beloved, guard the gifts I have placed in you and it is so important to guard those souls whom I have shown you; who you are connected to!

Cover your brother’s back and be sure to pray and cover your network. You are keeper of the flock of God through your prayers and good confessions.

There are vile persons, those whose motives are evil and deeply set. These take upon themselves to plot and scheme to take control of the circumstances of your life that try to frustrate and extinguish the gifts you carry.

If they cannot control you, these will seek to destroy your reputation, character, nature or even try to kill your body.

Woe be unto these who target My flock!

Beloved, I know you! I know you don’t try to make mistakes and sin because you do it without even knowing it.

What makes My beloved different is that they don’t practice sin or wake up wanting to offend Me or anyone else. Yet these miss it and mess up at times and I know them and I forgive them!

Man remembers every little deed and they take a snapshot of every event they see, and the photo is remembered for what they did in that instant and not the good things that came after it.

The I AM forgives people, but they judge you for one flash they remember and it is forever in their memory!

They won’t forgive and what’s worse, they spread lies that are worse than the things from many years ago that are under the blood.

Not many can outrun their past history, because, though God forgave them, man makes it hard and they hold on to the past errors marking an individual as no good to move on.

Those that truly are your loyal friends will love you and accept you even when they see your mistakes and failures.

These shall pray for you and they will cover you as God does as the whole individual that includes your failures yet they still love you and remain your friend.

Mark your true loyal friends and trust them and keep your personal business between those whom you trust. There are friends that stick closer than a brother.”

“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” John 15:10-15 KJV.
