Stop Fighting Me, Start Inviting Me

This is the proceeding word from the Lord for me today......
“Stop fighting Me and begin inviting Me into every situation in your life.
Become a witness of My Life by watching  Me work in you instead
of using your own strength. Bring your circumstance to me and wait.
A minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month, as long as it takes for you to
see My hand in your life. I will bring you through many crisis of the soul
that will cause things to come to the surface in your heart. Bring these things,
little things, big things, everything to me. Expose the need in my presence.
Without Me, you can do nothing but as you enter into that place of rest
you can do all things, not your own things which are temporary but My things,
which will last forever.

This I Believe - The Creed

The Day of His Power

We are in a time of transition. The birthing of the Kingdom age.

We the body are beginning to move in union with Christ as the head.

In the past the power of the Head was always manifest through

the five fold ministry while the body sat and watched and listened.

But the Head is about to be joined not to the pulpit nor to the five fold

ministry but to the body. The body is being trained and prepared

for the greatest visitation that this world has ever seen.

It will be this manifestation of the power of God moving through

the body of Christ that will lead the world into tribulation 
as the Kingdom of God is being birthed. Our focus has been on things 
that are happening in the earthly realm and the word of The Lord is calling 
us to lift our vision to heavenly places, far above all powers and principalities 
and spiritual darkness for it is from this place that He has prepared for us that we 
will be empowered to function in the establishment of the millennial Kingdom.

"Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter" (Rev 4:1)

The Lord is looking for those who are willing in the day of his power.

The real witness of The Lord in this day is not what we are saying

or what we are doing but what we are becoming as we loose our identity
in Him

The Lord  will always ask us to do that which is beyond our ability

that He might receive the glory.

Judgment has begun at the house of The Lord and it is this;

I judge you to be worthy to be called an Overcomer.

I judge you as being worthy to carry My Glory

I judge you as worthy to be a witness of My Power

Heavenly Father,

   We invite You to prepare us to be filled with Your Glory.

Make us willing to pay any price. Cause us to walk in the Light.

Lord, be it unto us according to Your word. Thank You Lord

for the testimony that You have written on our hearts and Your

shed blood that has made us able to stand in Your presence 

and be changed. Lord may You be glorified in us.
In The Name that is above all names,

In The Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Birth Pains

I want to encourage those who are feeling the birth pains of The Living Word and those who presently carry the prophetic burden of the Lord. Our season of birthing and coming forth is being wrought by great pain and travail. 

Rev. 12:5, KJV
  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: 
             and her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne. 

The spiritual experiences (dreams, visions, prophetic words…) awaken us to a love and a longing for The Lord. The temptation is to camp around these experiences but there is so much more. We are being prepared to function in harmony with Gods end time purposes. It is a lifetime of pressing into the riches in Christ that are available to us now. This Spirit of Life is full of extremes of activity, pouring itself into every circumstance in selfless love and yet inwardly abiding in unbroken rest. There is never a time that the anointing isn’t speaking to our hearts. If we submit to the discipline of this life giving Spirit, He will prune, plant and build, water the dry places, pluck up and destroy, open what was closed, light up the dark places, warm the cold places, straighten the crooked path, make the low places high and the high places low so that we progressively loose our identity in Him. It is  a birthing out of the natural and into the Kingdom. 

Gal. 4:19 (The Living Bible)
  Oh, my children, how you are hurting me! I am once again 
  suffering for you the pains of a mother waiting for her child to be 
  born—longing for the time when you will finally be filled with Christ.

Gospel of Christ

Crucified With Christ

• We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. (Rom. 6:6)
• I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. (Gal. 2:20a)
• Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (Gal. 5:24)
• But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. 6:14)

 Died With Christ

•  Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? (Rom. 6:3) 
• Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. (Rom. 6:8a)
•  So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. (Rom. 6:11)
•  Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ. (Rom. 7:4a)
•  We have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died. (2. Cor. 5:14)
•  If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations? (Col. 2:20)
•  For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (Col. 3:3)

Buried With Christ

• We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death. (Rom. 6:4a)
•  Having been buried with him in baptism. (Col. 2:12a)

Resurrected With Christ

•  For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. (Rom. 6:5)
•  Even when we were dead in our trespasses, [God] made us alive together with Christ. (Eph. 2:5a)
•  And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses. (Col. 2:13)

Ascended and Seated With Christ

• [God] raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Eph. 2:6)
•  The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. (Rev. 3:21)

Great Are You Lord

Judge

You will be quickly overtaken in some part of your life when you judge another person.
The only way that you can judge another person is to believe the lie that you are better than them. 
When you do judge your brother you reveal the secret belief that you hold in your heart that you are somehow different!
When you know who you are in Christ Jesus you don't have to prove anything.
The proof of believing this is that you don't judge your brother.
