New Creatures



If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” Isaiah 1:19

This “good of the land,” of which the Lord is speaking, is that total “area” of my life, which was brought under His authority when I relinquished all self-control to Him and made Jesus the “Lord” of my life. There is a progressive awareness of the commitment that I made to His Lordship. His sovereignty must extend to every area of my life.  Each day I must confirm His total control over my life and circumstances, both for my good, and for His higher purposes. This commitment will be tested many times as I am presented with the opportunity to make choices. If I yield my will and make the choice to be obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit at that moment of testing then I will be changed .... as that "New Creation" life of the Lord is released within me I am changed from "glory to glory" and from "faith to faith". The Lord is always present during these testings waiting to see how we respond and react to the circumstance that he has placed before us. As we make our choices for the Lord his abiding presence will grow in our lives and manifest itself in ways we never imagined both in the "here and now" and throughout eternity.

Resurrection Power



In the school of the spirit we experience resurrection power through the dividing of the soul and the spirit, through the pressure of circumstances in our life. Whatever is natural (born of the flesh) cannot be resurrected after passing through death. But that which belongs to God will live after going through this process. Many do not know what belongs to self (soul) and what belongs to God (Spirit), what belongs to the natural (our strength) and what belongs to Christ (His Strength)  what is old (our ways) and what is new (His Ways) what is natural (our thoughts) and what is supernatural (His Thoughts). When we make Him Lord, He will become active in our life circumstance. Along with great provision comes many fiery trials. To fully benefit from this process we must see everything in our lives as coming through Gods hands or by His permission. God allows death (to self) to come upon us to let us know what can pass through death (His Life) and what can not go through death (Our Life). And thus we will know Him in the power of His resurrection. God allows and orders many circumstances in our lives to reveal the condition of our heart before Him so that whatever we consider ourselves as able to do, to endure and to resist must all come to naught. We are pressed to such a degree that we can only say, “O God, I cannot endure any more. My strength has been exhausted. Please manifest Your power.” God will let you be so pressed as to draw out His own power. And at that point, pressure not only becomes your power of prayer but it also releases and demonstrates the Life of Christ that is within. Our Lord Jesus spoke of this, “Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit” (John 12.24). It is my prayer that you and I may know Christ and the power of His Resurrection Life  more deeply day by day.



For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, andis a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

God is the Strength of My Heart



Those things of the past and things of the present shall not hold us or bind us from entering in to the things that God has for us. It is as we allow Him to bring us into that narrow place that place of extreme pressure where we long with all our heart to go beyond our limitations into all that God has purposed for us that the Love of Christ compels us to venture out into the realm of the impossible. It is only here that our faith can lay hold of the riches of God in Christ. Lord bid us come. Lord we stand at a gulf that we cannot cross over. Lord we need a word. The entrance of Your word into our heart gives life and makes all things possible.

Fullness of Time


For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.Romans 14:17

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.Luke 17:21


The rule of the Kingdom of God begins within an individual, then spreads outward to affect all that relates to that individual, and beyond until gradually it fills all the earth.

You saw till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.Daniel 2:34-35

Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts.” Malachi 3:1


In the fullness of time, through a specific act of intervention (the Lord … shall suddenly come to His temple), the Lord will “lift” a corporate body of overcomers whom He has prepared, into a higher realm where they will be “empowered” for the outworking of His end-time purposes.

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.I Corinthians 4:20

These overcomers are being “made ready” (tested and proven), as they rise above all the temptations of the enemy, to be lifted at the appointed time into this higher realm of power and authority, with consequence.

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns.Revelation 19:6

Presently, we are living close to the end of the time of preparation. Only after this end-time intervention, can the Kingdom of God begin to expand until it fills all the earth.

Surrender To Me



A message to the heart of a believer "SURRENDER TO ME, and give Me COMPLETE CONTROL of you, the creation that I have made.  In all three dimensions (Spirit Soul and Body) , and I can come inside of you and work a MIRACLE. The ONLY HINDRANCE is, NOT your SINS. I have FORGIVEN them. It’s the RESISTANCE, conscious or unconscious! The RESISTANCE of Independence. The Spirit of Life is ever seeking to PUSH THROUGH! A war to extend the sovereignty of Gods Kingdom to every area. It is as a “seed” that has to push its way up through the ground and we’re “that ground!” We’re “dust!” Man is made of the DUST! This "seed life" pushes through my earth and yours. Not this FLESH, but the “earth” which represents all that we ARE. That’s the dust; that God used to form HUMANITY. The little seed that’s planted in us has the potential to become something eternally beautiful.

Living Sacrifice



I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a 
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1

Those who are making themselves unconditionally available to the Lord in every aspect of their “being” (who we are), and “life experience” (what we do), are being “made ready” to participate with the Lord in the outworking of His end-time purposes. This requires our having a “single eye” in order to hear and respond to His work of preparation, and our spirit “set” toward the Lord, so we can obey all that is required of us. Only then will we be ready “in that day” to be lifted into a cooperative relationship with our Lord.

First the Spirit..then the Soul..then the Body



There are times when we go through severe testings in our body and much time is spent in prayer and in waiting before the Lord to be restored. This often results in the Lord being able to speak to our hearts very definitely and draw us afresh to Himself. 
Many times in many ways, The Lord is trying to get our attention, to awaken us to the reality of Christ within His many-membered Body and how we are neglecting this very important truth. We are not yielding fully, to the Holy Spirit to bring us into this truth because we are so occupied with temporary things. For this to be a reality we must enter in together. This is the very hour in which the "birthing of the manchild will take place" (Revelation 12). God is laying His hand upon a body of ovecomers and drawing them into that place in God where He can train them and bring them into a special place of communion with Him. Its not what we are doing for The Lord that is so important but what we are becoming. Through the dealings of God in our life we lose confidence in the flesh and are brought to a place of perfect weakness. It is this place that we should remain. A place of waiting without ceasing, for it is this place that His strength is made perfect. This is the Spirit of The Overcomer. This is the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus!

Romans 8:2, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death."

The Spirit of Life is the healer. It flows from our spirit into our souls and through our bodies.
We wait before the Lord with expectant hearts that He will intervene in our lives and lift us into the reality of all that He accomplished on our behalf. That we might know in the here and the now the power of His resurrection. That where He is there we may be also.

My Prayer Today



Father God,

 I ask You to enlarge my spiritual hunger and capacity. Anoint and guide me as I begin to seek you more fully each day. Release me from every hindrance, that I might begin to move into the spiritual reality that You have waiting for me. I love You Lord, and I trust You with my life. Without qualification, I totally place myself in Your hands that You might work within the fiber of my being the reality of Your life. Create within me the capacity to understand spiritual principles that I might rightly interpret my life circumstance. Lord, I ask that these principles become personalized within me. So that my life will be exchanged with Your life and that everyone you will bring into my life will experience your presence. Only You can make of me the Bride that You desire. I ask that You move in the lives of those who have heard your call and cause them to become this Bride that You so longingly desire. Thank You Lord that each of us will find the satisfaction that we have longed for, and for which we were created.   

Amen

Always a Price



There is always a price for everything we do. And, it's a different price for different souls, at different times.
Sometimes the "cost" isn't made clear until years down the road. But one thing is clear, the power of choice 
now rests with us. As we walk with The Lord and desire more of His presence we become sensitized to The 
Holy Spirit. We become keenly aware of things that are harmful to spiritual life. It becomes important to rightly
choose what we "see" and "hear" because we literally take it into our being.  Our eyes are truly the 
windows to our souls, and likewise our ears.  What we choose to see and listen to, ends up residing 
within us and will ultimately find some type of expression. 

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” (Prov. 4.24)

"For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. (Luke 8:17

The things of the world are as weights that keep us from running the race of The High Calling in Christ.
There is a day dawning when everything will be revealed. Ultimately what resides within our hearts
will be known. We can fill that place with things from this life or we can surrender all to The Lord
and become an expression of His Life. In Revelations the overcomer is as a "sea of glass". A life that
has become a transparent expression of His Life. Guard your heart each day with all diligence.
It is from the abundance (what we allow in) of the heart that the mouth speaks. It is the very essence
of who we are. All that is of eternal value flows from within our spirit as love that can fill our hearts
with His Life. All that the enemy would seek to do comes from without. We choose each day to fill
our hearts with things of the spirit realm or things of the natural realm. Temporary things or Eternal things. 
Light or darkness....Life or death.....May we choose Life…

Matthew 6:22-23
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.                                                        23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
how great is that darkness!

Mat 22 8-10



Tools specific to Mat 22:8
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Tools specific to Mat 22:9
Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Tools specific to Mat 22:10
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

Yet There is Room


Luke 14:22-23 (KJV)
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, 
    and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

There is an end time gathering. Those that were invited by the Lord in previous visitations have not responded so "yet there is room" Now there is another gathering taking place. Not of the strong and mighty but of those that see their true condition before The Lord. The Lord is filling His house with a witness. That witness is you and me. No special qualifications or training. No title before our name. The Lord is sending us along the highways of life to find those that have been lost, cast aside and wounded. 
He will lift them up from the ashes of their circumstance and speak to their hearts of a day that is dawning and will never end. He will prepare them as a people He can trust with an end time anointing. A people that will remain, hidden, faithful and obedient. Then at times and places of The Lords choosing they will be used for The Lords end time purposes. 

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
