Pray and be ready!

1 Peter 4:7 "The end of all things is near; therefore, be alert and sober-minded for prayer." • Peter is writing to Christians who suffer for Jesus' sake, to those who have taken on Christ's attitude that hardships for God's cause are part of our purpose as His people. He now offers a perspective which is both encouraging and a warning: it's almost over. Peter writes that the end of all things is near, or "draws near." Everything necessary for history to come to an end has already happened. Jesus Messiah has come, lived, and died. He's been resurrected and ascended back to His Father where He reigns now over the universe. And, He is ready right now to judge all who live and have ever lived. Peter affirms that we are now living in the last days or end times. That day continues to draw ever nearer. So, what is the right response to this awareness that the end of all things is near? Peter's answer is that the most rational response is to pray. That prayer requires strong and clear minds. Peter writes, we must be self-controlled, or alert, or exercising sound judgment about our choices. And we should be sober-minded. In this context, "sober" means "serious." In other words, we should be careful about how we live. Our choices impact our ability to think clearly. It is better to be self-controlled, so that we can pray. How necessary is prayer for Christians? It is crucial. Pray and be ready!

Cutting The Cords!

I know that America needs revival! The church needs revival! I am believing God for revival! God help this Nation! The country is walking in the flesh that is allowing the spirit of rebellion, corruption, compromise, confusion, intimidation, bitterness, backbiting, jealousy and envy to run rampant. I am taking my God Sword = (God’s Word) and cutting the cords of these spirits and calling forth and declaring the spirits of reconciliation, restoration, repentance, revelation, and release (the spirits that bring forth salvation, healing, and deliverance, and unity in Christ.) God started revealing to me last Friday night just how important it is to take the sword of the Spirit and cut those cords of the enemy. It takes no effort whatsoever to walk in the flesh, that's the problem; we make an effort to be good at everything else, except walking in the spirit (preaching to myself too, on that last sentence). Rise up, discipline yourself, and make the extra effort to walk in the spirit daily (again, I am talking to myself on this!) Oh, we have to crucify the flesh on a daily basis. Walking in the flesh is what has got this country in the mess that it is currently in. What this country needs is a spirit of Elijah and I'm praying for it to sweep across this nation, to come into our homes and souls! Oh the spirit of Elijah (a spirit of humility, sorrow, humbleness, and obedience to God) is what we need, for that spirit brings the power of God and the Holy Ghost anointing and fire! I am not giving up on the glory of my Jesus; I am not giving up on the presence of my God. The thing that is going to drive us to revival and to see miracles, to see chains and strongholds broken, to see corruption cease, to see salvations and deliverance...  is faithful prayer, fasting, and the anointed Word of God. You are either for God or you are not, remember the devil owns the fence that he is easily getting the nation to straddle, including churches! I AM BELIEVING GOD FOR A GREAT SPIRITUAL AWAKENING IN THIS NATION, IN OUR LIVES, AND IN OUR CHURCHES!.

Be Still and Listen!

Straight from the throne room of God: 

"Behold saith the Lord of Hosts, be still and know that I am God. Listen to the voice of your Heavenly Father. My words can renew your spirit, for no one knows you and your needs like I do. When you really get still with the intention of listening to Me, Jehovah God, I will speak to you. My child, you need only be still, listen, and know that I am God. No matter how rough it may get, DON'T TAKE YOUR FOCUS OFF OF ME, that is when your focus goes straight to your problems and the enemy attacks at full speed. I am concerned about your situation, I see all and know all about it. I even know the number of hairs on your head. I am God and can never forget you. Your face is always before Me. Cast all of your anxiety on Me, because I care for you. Be assured that if you walk with Me, look to Me, and expect help from the Me I will never leave you or fail you saith the Lord." 

I Wrote A Script For Your Life!

Straight from the throne room of God: "Behold says the Lord, I have seen your tears, your brokenness, and the emptiness in your life because I am God, and My love for you is like no other. I love you with an everlasting love. I'm calling you unto Myself so that I can fill you, so that I can heal you, so that I can save you, so that I can bless you and show you My true love. I am God alone. There is only One True God, and that is Me. I am Jehovah Lord, thy God. And through Jesus, My one and only Son, is the only way you can be saved. This day, I declare if you will come to Him and trust Him, you will receive the restoring, healing, delivering, and saving power of Jesus Christ and come unto the covering of Your faithful Father. Thus says the Lord, I have loved you from the beginning. Before you were born I saw you, and I wrote a script for your life. Now, I am calling you unto Myself for such a time as this. I declare to you this day that if you will only believe, trust, and have faith in Me, I will bless you above and beyond anything you could ever imagine, because I am God and beside Me there is no other!" 

I am still God... and there is no other!

Straight from the throne room of God: "Behold saith the Lord of Hosts, I am still God. I still know my people. I have sealed you with my Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. My children don't worry. Don't fret. Keep your focus on Me, not the corruption going on in the world, not the spirit of fear and uncertainty that's been sweeping the nation for months. In the middle of it all, trust and know that I am and will always be good. No, I haven't turned a blind eye to it. I am fully aware of what is going on. I have my army ready and everything in order. I will come in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, for my church without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. I will take hold of the reigns and rule for I am the Almighty, saith the Lord. Let not your heart be troubled. I am God and there is no other. My book has already been written. It has already been settled. Just lean back and lean on me, and again fret not because I am ready to move. Yes, I am ready to move. The earth shall know My glory, and it shall fill the earth because it belongs to me. Be still and know that I am God. Listen to the voice of your Heavenly Father. My words can renew your spirit, for no one knows you and your needs like I do. Be assured that if you walk with Me, look to Me, and expect help from the Me I will never leave you or fail you saith the Lord."

Calling 'O Sinner Come Home!

Straight from the throne room of God: "Judgement is on the way, strengthen yourself in this hour, strengthen yourself in the Word, strengthen yourself in Me. When the tide of wickedness would have carried you away, I withstood the enemy for you, I have resisted the enemy for you and held him at bay. Turn to Me with your whole heart and whole soul, and know that I am God who stands in your midst this day. I will deliver you if you will turn to Me with your whole heart. Turn from the enemy and call upon My name saith the Lord of Hosts." 

God still speaks and this day, with a stern warning. The Lord is declaring that He has withstood the enemy for us, but the call over and over is COME UNTO ME, and we don’t have time to play games. My daily desire: to follow Him with my whole heart. I strive everyday to live sanctified and holy. It doesn’t mean I still don’t have 

struggles, meltdowns, or times of testing and temptations... but during those times, I remember and know Who will continually bring me through it all! If you are not where you need to be with the Lord, I urge you get to where you need to be. If you need to move, I urge you to move. The Lord is urging someone in the very moment of reading this; don’t keep wallowing in a compromising place or situation. I've seen compromise build church attendance and programs; but is it truly changing the heart of a person, are conversions to Christ taking place? WE CANNOT AFFORD TO COMPROMISE IN THESE LAST DAYS, especially with worldly corruption running rampant! "Ye who are weary, come Home! Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling, calling, O sinner, come home!"

In Christ,

In The Throne Room of God!

I stay in the throne room of God a lot these days... in the sanctuary of my bedroom, God meets me here with much peace and comfort and reassurance of His goodness, power, mercy, and love. So many nights, for years now, I wake up in the wee hours of the morning and I know God is wanting to talk to me. I pray. I focus on Him. I trust Him completely. From the beginning (especially since March) God has told me this, "keep your focus completely on Me. When it starts to detour, I'll help you get it back on Me where it needs to be, if you harken your ear to Me and listen"! He's been faithful to do that over and over just this year alone. He was reminding me this week of the unshakable faith I've kept during this time, because you either trust God completely or your don't; faith and fear can't take up residency at the same time in your heart and mind. Either you're going to allow faith to drive out the fear or fear drive out your faith. And, you can't ride someone else's coat tails when it comes to faith, you've God to dig into the word of God and grab a hold of faith for yourself. When I stay in the throne room of God, it doesn't mean I'm oblivious to what's going on in the world, but it does keep me secure in knowing that despite corruption, chaos, and compromise going on within the world... God is still in control and I do not fear, knowing there is no other God before Him, He changes not, He still speaks to His sons and daughters, unlike those who worship idols that can't talk and answer you back, He is aware of what's going on and His plan and purpose will unfold. Again, through His Word yesterday and during a powerful time of worship, He reminded me of how He was preparing to gather His remnant which will be small in number. I've heard, in my spirit, about the remnant church for quite some time now. I believe those of the remnant church to be those who are truly faithful to God, not wavering in their faith, trusting and living for God wholeheartedly every step of the way. Those still left following God after great catastrophes happen. It's happening right before my eyes this year; Christians leaving their faith and bowing to the spirit of fear, and suddenly no longer believing in God, churches bowing to fear and compromise, pastors and leaders allowing worldly entertainment to grace their church grounds and choosing to please people over God, preachers sugar coating their messages and listening to what man tells them to do over God; walking everyday with blinders on. That's why the remanent will be small in number, because when castrophes hit the enemy comes in and gets people to bow out left and right. Listen, it's hard to see what is happening but everything unfolds to fall in line with God's return. It says in the last days, even the very elect will be deceived. This time, in our world, has only caused me to draw nigh to God and push in even closer to Him. He's pushed out who and what I don't need to listen to or be a part of. He's protecting me. He's opened my eyes in a powerful way. He's shown me the importance of only being dedicated to His will and to His way; not man or a church building. You can be dedicated to church (building) and all it's activities and never have an intimate, close relationship with God. I don't care how many church jobs you have, if you're not saved you won't see Heaven as your home. Programs certainly won't get you there. God has a voice still throughout all of this. His perfect peace is here for anyone to reach out and take a hold of. You can't live off the peace I have, but He sure will give it to you if you ask. I know when I sit at my keyboard by my bed, and sing and praise God... when I pray in my room, when I push out anything that contradicts the word of God, when I am very cautious about my words and steps I take, when I filter what I allow to enter my mind through what I read and watch, and when I keep fully trusting in God... I continue to lay my head down on my pillow each night having complete peace, confidence, and assurance in God! ♡

In Christ,
