No More Manufactured Christianity!

I literally seen this in my facebook newsfeed after my post titled, "The modern church is today's Tower of Babel". Holy Ghost confirmation for me! If she's "famous" and can be bold and tell what needs to be shared, well so can I! I just refuse to play church or be entertained when it comes to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Some of these very same things she mentioned are what I mentioned in my devotion below this post, about God being tired of the entertainment aspect of the modern church, and He's shut it all down.

Evangelist and author Priscilla Shirer said she hopes temporary church closures will empower ministers to rely more on the Holy Spirit instead of trying to manufacture the fire of God by using production "gimmicks" many modern churches have become dependent on. Click on link for full article. 

Shirer was among 50 other Christian leaders, musicians, speakers, and pastors who participated in a 10-hour livestream event called “Leader Check In” hosted by PULSE and Year of the Bible founder Nick Hall on Wednesday. During her segment, she preached from 1 Kings 18:21, 23 and 24.

"I've been thinking about something this morning, just in preparation for the opportunity to share today with everybody who would be gathered in this particular week when we're heading into Easter when we are celebrating the sacrifice of our Lord. With the power of our Lord that He got up out of the grave, that He still lives, ever making intercession for us, ever the mediator that bridges the gap between us and the Father. So the thoughts that have been on my mind have been in and around Elijah, one of the premier Old Testament prophets,” Shirer said.

The daughter of Dallas megachurch pastor Tony Evans taught from Elijah’s example when he proved that His God, not Baal, was the one true God. She said Elijah understood that as believers we are to provide the sacrifice and God is who provides the fire. 

"We're supposed to do our part but not step into the margin — that's supposed to be God's part,” Shirer explained. "It’s the Spirit’s part to light the fire, the anointing, the favor that will be required for every single one of our churches' streams to be effective in the lives of people. That they reach all over the globe on this coming Sunday, when for the first time, definitely in my lifetime, maybe in history, that as many people have been reached on Easter Sunday as will be reached this Easter. 

She said Easter won’t just be a “good production” or “good technology,” but it will be a service that will have to “impact the souls of human beings.”

"What that means is, is that it's gonna have some fire on it. And it can't be a fire that we have manufactured in our own humanity. Emotionalism is not gonna cut it, promotion is not going to cut it,” Shirer continued. “All the gimmicks and the stories and the emotionalism, the veneer of actually having an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

"The charisma, the talent, all that stuff that may have been able to carry us in front of a crowd, now that we've been stripped down, one of the things that I believe the Lord is inviting us back to is this reminder that we're supposed to present ourselves, a living sacrifice to Him. That we give Him our best. That we study to show ourselves approved, that we walk in integrity, and in characters as leaders in the body of Christ. That we continue to cultivate an actual real-life friendship with God that doesn't need an audience to sustain it.”

A Knife, Spoon, and Fork Prophecy!

This speaks volumes! It's all unfolding before us! I to feel that I am entering into a deeper isolation period with God, because of this extended period of quarantine. He's preparing me for a greater ministry opportunity and purpose when freedom of the country is restored again! Great awakening + great revival over this nation! • 4.10.2020 words, as I continue journaling about these days.

From Perry Stone Ministries Facebook page:

     IS DAD'S WARNING COMING TO PASS...I THINK SO. Prior to my dad passing away. He shared with me a dream of seeing a set of plastic utensil's, a knife, a spoon, and a fork, buried one - third of the way in ground. He felt one-third of the food supply would be impacted in the future.

     Reported today - something has now occurred that no one saw coming. In Florida, thousands tons of squash and zucchini are rotting on farms.  In the mid-west both milk and eggs are being destroyed by the farmer's themselves. The reason: the restaurants that have the contracts are closed and there is no one under contract purchasing their food and milk, as hundreds of thousands of sit - down restaurants across America and the world, are closed. Thus it appears, there may end up being one-third of the food remaining in the ground unharvested. A knife, spoon, and fork represents 3 meals a day.  

      Many farmers are saying they well could go bankrupt and close their large farms without an immediate breakthrough of some type. Many major meat packing plants across the nation are closing, due to their workers getting sick and the fear of spreading the virus through meat. One large company has closed, sending everyone home. 16.5 million people are now out of work, although some have sent people home to get the government help to pay them, although as reported yesterday no small business has yet seen a check.

      I have told people it is not the virus that will impact the nation, as most people recover. It is the repercussions of closed stores and high lay offs and unemployment that will impact the most.

     IF YOU HAVE A JOB and are being paid and can continue to work, you should every day, thank God for this opportunity. If you have a boss or business owner that has allowed you to work at home and continue to be paid, you should get on your knees every morning and thank God and pray for those who are out of a job. I am seeing videos in large cities of hundreds of cars lined up at food banks, with people taking a box who have never needed assistance. Food banks are running out of food, in every city, within one hour. We can no longer "blow this off," or put a spin on it and act like we will get back to normal. We are in the third-trimester birth pangs. Something will follow this from the Matthew 24 list. In Daniel, the Bible talks about the danger of "wearing out the saints of the Most High God." This can easily set in and occur, without prayer.

       One more point. With the government saying they will hand out trillions of dollars, the question arises that if this money is coming out of "thin air" (interject here, I Kimberly McDaniel, have been saying this for a couple of weeks now) and the Central Bank and Federal Reserve is involved, what keeps America from eventually coming into hyperinflation as Germany did, and the money being devalued until, as in Germany, one postage stamp went from 4 German Marks to 4 billions Marks? I don't have an answer to that one. 

       Some Washington liberals do not want to have the Malaria pill available that is helping so many. Perhaps two underlying reasons are, big Pharmacy vaccine money worth billions (also the industry is the number one supporter of politicians), and the left want to demand everyone to get the vaccine and perhaps a medical chip or special bracelet to monitor a person, in the name of health. The left never misses a crisis where they can promote or enforce their agenda. I do believe this crisis could eventually help develop the Beast System (Revelation 13:17-18), of no buying or selling without a special mark, name or number. 

        Knowing Bible prophecy and what the prophets saw in the future and what I know by the Spirit will also come down the road, is a strong burden to carry. Satan has great wrath knowing his time is short and is unleashing everything he can to stop the churches, silence outspoken ministers, and prevent global outreaches, using whatever he can how he can. Pray for all spiritual leaders. Many people are coming back to Christ which is one awesome outcome of this crisis. 

        I will be out of pocket for a while and in an area where there is little or no cell service.  I find it necessary to have to hear from the Lord for me personally, and renew my body mind, and spirit and not just pray for the ministry. I have thought about how I started out at age 18 with nothing, with just me and the Lord; no buildings, no outreach, no staff, and a few little churches to preach in. It is still after forty-four years, me and the Lord, and if for some reason because of the "times and seasons" or the Lord changes our direction, I will still have me and the LORD... and with me, a wonderful family and many faithful, praying people. Like Job said during a time when he lost everything, including his income and his health, "Though He slay me yet will I trust Him!"  This is a time for everyone to place their trust, not in men, but totally in God. God bless all of you and stay strong in the Lord and in the power of His might!

145 More Days!

I hope and pray there is no real significance to this (on us being in quarantine that long), but if there is... only time will tell I guess?! And, if God sees fit for this to take longer, than thy will be done! I have to remember those very words of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, praying to His Heavenly Father, that if it be thy will let this cup pass from me, but if not Lord it satisfies me *paraphrasing. I had a dream last week that we had reached April 30th, our governor had released a note that had "145 more days" written on it; referring to the shelter-in-place "stay at home" order after re-evaluation of this COVID-19 pandemic and saying on the 145th day everything will be back in full operation. After continuing to see the no. 145 in my spirit, it intrigued me today. I decided to go to my calendar and see where that would put us; 145 days after April 30th lands on September 22nd, 2020. So, 'curiosity killed the cat' as they say, so I googled what was happening on that day that was "significant", and this is what came up: "National Voter's Day Registration". After I saw the extension in my dream, I remember saying, 'well y'all all hunker down', but I was seriously encouraging everyone too. Seriously, Lord, help us all.🤦‍♀️ I sometimes eat crazy things before bed, and dream crazy things that I think nothing else about. Sometimes though, they are warnings or prophetic dreams, where I've seen God's hand of protection step in or dreams come to past. I pray there is nothing too this dream, but it sure is staying on my mind this week. I know the virus is real and serious; people are dying! But you hear very little, if any, of all the positives of this too, that I'm having to dig to find! Also, I just still felt there was something more to this September 22nd date too that signified some sort of "freedom" taking place as well, so I googled the "the significance of September 22", and indeed a very important time of freedom was taking place in our country on that date. September 22, 1862 President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free. And, then I just heard the Spirit of the Lord speak to me this, "Start praying and fasting for the complete freedom of the nation again!". I'm not one to share stuff like this, because I don't like to stir up any government or politics issues that would seemingly start any arguments, nor am I one to publicly share dreams like this. I just know this is something that I just can't let go of right now... this situation very well deserves the believers time in prayer & fasting! This is all in God's timing of course, but I want to know that I'm doing my part to stay close to God through much prayer, fasting, and digging into His Word! I honestly don't see this ending April 30th though, so pray and be prepared for extensions, I feel God is preparing me too! I invite others to be in prayer and fasting with me over this! • 4.9.2020 words, as I continue journaling about these days!

God is Still Here! He Exists!

God won't go away, just because people believe He isn't there or He doesn't exist. He's still there, even now. I'm thankful to know Him, serve Him, believe in Him, and live for Him. In times like this, I choose to pray and trust that faith in God is not only being rebuilt in the lives of believers, but coming to light for those who don't yet believe, and being restored to those who have left their faith. ♡ 4.9.2020 words, as I continue journaling about these days.

Edify, Confirm, Embolden, Strengthen!

The words I wrote down in my notebook during the AM church service on 3.15.2020; first picture below. Plus other thoughts shared, in pictures, during this. The last service before the shutdown would start and force churches to online only services. That morning I had no idea the COVID-19 pandemic would get worse. I added those words this week, thinking how I thought 2-2 1/2 weeks this would be over... but today I feel a shift in the spiritual realm, and I believe the leveling off of this virus is on the horizon and the end is on its way.. I still pray and believe these words over God's people. 4.4.2020 words, as I continue journaling about these days! 

Revelation 3:10!

I keep hearing and seeing this verse so strongly in my spirit/mind today, & everything in the word of God is 100% truth. It's more vital than ever to keep our focus on what says the Lord of Hosts! I long for His return! ♡

Revelation 3:10 - "Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth."

4.7.2020 words as I continue journaling shout these days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
