It's Time For Your Breakthrough!

I am so EXCITED about all that God is getting ready to do this year! I have such an EXPECTANCY in my spirit that I can hardly contain! We have to establish some truths here and now about God, right now at the start of this year, in order to be READY to step into ALL that He has for us!

TRUTHS TO LIVE BY, MEDITATE ON, MARINATE IN FOR YOUR BREAKTHROUGH IN 2014!

1) GOD is ABLE! NOTHING (not 1 thing; big or small) is IMPOSSIBLE with HIM! In fact, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE with HIM and NOTHING is TOO HARD for GOD!

2) The Kingdom of God suffers VIOLENCE, and the VIOLENT take it by FORCE! (Matthew 11:12)
Did you get that? The Kingdom of God is NOT exempt from violence. Where does this come from? I'm glad you asked. John 10:10 gives us the answer and it is the Enemy, Satan - the prince of the power of the air. That's his title, but WE outrank him! We are Sons and Daughters of the Most High God and that trumps all of Satan's authority! This leads me to point #3.

3) Jesus said ALL POWER and AUTHORITY was given to us. (Luke 10:19) Power to trample on snakes and scorpions, and ALL power over the enemy. What more do we need to KNOW that we know that we know that we have MORE THAN ENOUGH to beat Satan. Jesus said it, so that's good enough for me. I don't have to listen to one more lie. I don't have to shrink back to one more accusation. I don't have to take one more attack. It's time for me to fight back! And it's time for you to fight back too! GET UP! Don't you lay down and die! The enemy may have taken an inch from you, but don't give him a mile. You take a mile! GO GET IT!

4) Vengeance is the Lord's! (Romans 12:19) The Lord will repay it. Just remember that we are not fighting flesh and blood (people), but the enemy and all of his evil cohorts. (Ephesians 6:12). So, the Lord brings vengeance on the enemy, not people. Keep the proper perspective. It's the enemy behind it all anyway. So, ask the Lord to bring vengeance on the enemy and not people. He has to flea 7 ways and pay back 7 times what he stole from you, so you ask God for it in your health, finances, salvations in your family, friends, and co-workers, and peace. (Deuteronomy 28:7, Proverbs 6:31).

5) When you have done the will of God, all you need is patience for Him to bring forth your promises (Hebrews 10:36). You know He will, because He's God and He is faithful. He never lies. He will do what He promised you. (Deuteronomy 7:9, Numbers 23:19).

So, Dear Ones, it's time to fight. It's time take back ALL that's yours. It's time to believe and trust God! Do not shrink back. You surge ahead in Jesus' name!

Welcome to a New Year! 2014 is our year!

Happy New Year Everyone!
God Bless You!
It's going to be a good year!

We said our goodbyes to a year of preparation and all things being lined up in 2013 for this new year. The Lord Himself has set before us an open door that no man can shut. We boldly and thankfully cross the threshold into ALL that God has for us in His infinitely MORE! 2014 will be the year of double perfection! Expect MORE! Ephesians 3:20. Believe again! Trust God again. Our latter shall be greater than our former. Let Hope arise! This is the year that God brings what was dead back to life! So, speak those things that be not, as though they are. Romans 4:17.

Do you feel the expectancy and excitement rising within you now to believe God for more? No matter what 2013 threw at you, judge Him faithful and true! GOD is able, and NOTHING is impossible with Him! Nothing is too hard for Him! Start praising Him for your breakthrough and your victory, because we are crossing over the Jordan River and we are going to possess the land - including all that the enemy has stolen from us! We're taking it back and RECOVERING ALL!!!

Remember that every time the enemy attacks you, you have a blood-bought right and covenant to go to God and ask Him for vengeance on the enemy. He has to pay back 7 times what he stole from you! Remember, the enemy is your enemy, not people! Keep the proper perspective. John 10:10 says the enemy comes only to kill, steal, and destroy, but God comes to give us life, abundantly, and to the full! So, I ask you, what has the enemy killed, stolen, or destroyed in 2013? God is going to give you life, abundantly, and to the full in 2014 for what the enemy did.

Recover All Dear Ones!

Vengeance Belongs to The Lord - and Satan Has to Pay!

I recently was listening to Karen Wheaton's testimony and it stirred something up in me. This is definitely worth sharing. It's also something The Enemy does NOT want YOU to KNOW.

John 10:10 (AMP) says:

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

So, whatever has happened to you was not the result of a person. Human beings are not the problem. The Enemy is. Consider Ephesians 6:12 (AMP).

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

Don't ask God for vengeance on people. They are not your real problem, nor your true enemy. Ask God for vengeance on Satan for what he has done to you. He has stolen from you. He has robbed you. He has delayed your blessing. He has hurled destruction and death at you. He brings sickness, pain, and disease.

You ask God to make The Enemy pay for all that he has done to you. God is FURIOUS at all that The Enemy has done to you! So, agree with God and ask Him for vengeance upon The Devil. Ask God to make him wish he had never touched you or even looked your way. Ask God to make The Enemy regret the day he ever came against you. Ask God to make him repay all that he has stolen from you. Somebody has to pay and it should be The Enemy of your soul.

 

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! You have put up with this long enough. You are a child of God! You don't have to put up with this! It's time! The enemy can NOT withhold, waylay, deny, delay, or stop what God has declared and promised to you! Let's redirect our anger to where it belongs.

FIERCE: Move that mountain with fasting, prayer, giving, and the power of the Holy Spirit who is in you

This past weekend I was at a Women's Ministry Conference called Fierce. This was a gathering of close to 2000 women from all over the state of Florida. Our Fierce leader - Marsha Woolley spoke on Girls With Swords from Lisa Bevere's next best selling book. Friday morning, night, and Saturday morning our guest speaker - Karen Wheaton shared what the Holy Spirit laid on her heart. She also brought with her Chosen - a worship and creative arts dance and praise team of kids that rocked the house and brought spot on words from God's lips to our ears. Pastor J - the worship leader from Victorious Life Church in Tampa led worship. It was life changing worship. I mean, out of this world. The tangible presence of God was so real, so evident. I set my mind and determined to worship with all my might. I went for it 1000%.

Now, I know what the men are saying that are reading this. Why is she sharing this on the main blog? Why not share it on the women's blog? Well guys, I am glad you asked. You see, there is much to gain from what I am about to share. So, don't tune me out. There are many golden nuggets of truth in this post for you too men. So, please read on. Please think how you can apply what is here in your own life, because it really applies across the board to the whole body of Christ.

A Word from the Lord given by one of the members of Chosen:

Isaiah 65:1 - The Lord was ready to respond, but no one asked for help.

• The enemy is attacking your voice to silence you, so there will be no results.
• Move the mountain by speaking to it.
• What you speak is what you believe.
• Things have to change, because it's His Word!
• Darkness has NO choice! It has to get out of the way.

Message 1 from one of the members of Chosen:

Luke 1 - Elizabeth and Zacharias were Consecrated Ones - set apart for God.

• Delay does NOT mean denial!
• The greater the impact of the calling, gifting, purpose, or plan, the greater the fight is for it to come to pass.
• For with God, NOTHING is impossible!
• Fast again!
• Pray again!
• Give again!
• The enemy is holding your promise because he knows how it will impact the world.

Message 2 from one of the members of Chosen:

• The Holy Spirit lives in you.
• You have POWER!
• You do NOT have a spirit of fear. You have POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND!
• You are the dwelling place of God.
• In the moment of temptation, you have power to choose.
• You have the power to activate the power of the Holy Spirit in you - or - stay unplugged from Him. The choice is yours.
• Our thoughts dictate our feelings.
• Actively plant every word in your life.
• Women - don't blame hormones. His Spirit is in you and is greater than hormones.
• In those moments of temptation or weakness, choose the presence of the Holy Spirit in you.
• When you lose control of your self, that's when you lose the respect of those watching you.
• Underline this, 2 Timothy 2:20-22.
• When you choose to act (not react) according to the Holy Spirit, it feeds someone else around you.
• Remember the power that you have.

Church, let's take out God's weapons of mass destruction against the enemy. It's time to pray again. Time to fast again. Time to give again. The battle is already won. It was settled at Calvary. The victory is all ours.

FIERCE: Fierce Faith

This past weekend I was at a Women's Ministry Conference called Fierce. This was a gathering of close to 2000 women from all over the state of Florida. Our Fierce leader - Marsha Woolley spoke on Girls With Swords from Lisa Bevere's next best selling book. Friday morning, night, and Saturday morning our guest speaker - Karen Wheaton shared what the Holy Spirit laid on her heart.

You see, there is much to gain from what I am about to share. So, don't tune me out. There are many golden nuggets of truth in this post for you too men. So, please read on. Please think how you can apply what is here in your own life, because it really applies across the board to the whole body of Christ.

A word given by a member of Chosen inspired from the book, Captivating and Isaiah 61:

God has set us on a mission to release and restore something. This means you and me. God says, "I am FURIOUS at the enemy and what he has done to you! Give me your whole heart and I will set you free. I will bring restoration. I will give you beauty for devastation, joy for sorrow, and I will robe your heart in righteousness for your former devastation."

A Golden Nugget of TRUTH:

SATAN'S GREATEST FEAR IS THAT YOU WOULD BELIEVE YOU ARE WHO GOD SAID YOU ARE!

What would you be doing right now, without fear and if you believed what God said? There is no time to waste! As long as there is breath in your body, it's not too late for you.

FIERCE - having or displaying ferocious, intense, aggressiveness. Having strong feelings, such as determination.

Truths for Women:

• As women, we need to accept that we can be fierce!
• In the Garden, ENMITY was put between the woman and the devil. This means unending hostility toward the devil. Women will forever be Satan's enemy.
• All of the woman's offspring will be the enemy of the devil and will hate him.
• There is a spearhead of the devil aimed specifically at women because of the BEAUTY of God in her. She is the crowning glory of creation.
• Women have fierce faith. We pray until we win. We fast until we win. We give until we have nothing more to give.

FAITH - the substance of things hoped for, or the substance of change you are looking for.

HOPE - the belief that things will change.

How do you get FIERCE FAITH?

• Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
• Learn to get your OWN Word from God!
• Pray where deep calls to deep.
• Until you touch heaven and heaven touches you, pray through!

Isaiah 43:1-4, 15-19 says:

1 But now [in spite of past judgments for Israel’s sins], thus says the Lord, He Who created you, O Jacob, and He Who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you [ransomed you by paying a price instead of leaving you captives]; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

² When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.

³ For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt [to the Babylonians] for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba [a province of Ethiopia] in exchange [for your release].

⁴ Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and because I love you, I will give men in return for you and peoples in exchange for your life.

¹⁵ I am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

¹⁶ Thus says the Lord, Who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters,

¹⁷ Who brings forth chariot and horse, army and mighty warrior. They lie down together, they cannot rise; they are extinguished, they are quenched like a lampwick:

¹⁸ Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old.

¹⁹ Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

HELP IS ON THE WAY!!!

1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where will my help come from? ² My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. ³ He will not let your feet go out from under you. He Who watches over you will not sleep.  Psalm 121:1-3

From Karen Wheaton: 

1. Value the word. The word you value is the word that provides fruit.
2. Believe the word. What you meditate on is what you believe. 

• Your Daddy has the answer.
• Stop talking about and going back over the things of the past! When you do that, you are eating from a DEAD carcass! You are NOT a BUZZARD! You are an EAGLE!
• Remember not the former things. God is doing a NEW thing!

 

 

FIERCE: Being a Warrior

This past weekend I was at a Women's Ministry Conference called Fierce. This was a gathering of close to 2000 women from all over the state of Florida. Our Fierce leader - Marsha Woolley spoke on Girls With Swords from Lisa Bevere's next best selling book. Friday morning, night, and Saturday morning our guest speaker - Karen Wheaton shared what the Holy Spirit laid on her heart.

Pastor J - the worship leader from Victorious Life Church in Tampa led worship. It was life changing worship. I mean, out of this world. The tangible presence of God was so real, so evident. I set my mind and determined to worship with all my might. I went for it 1000%.

Now, I know what the men are saying that are reading this. Why is she sharing this on the main blog? Why not share it on the women's blog? Well guys, I am glad you asked. You see, there is much to gain from what I am about to share. So, don't tune me out. There are many golden nuggets of truth in this post for you too men. So, please read on. Please think how you can apply what is here in your own life, because it really applies across the board and to the whole body of Christ.

We are warriors! Warriors are very different from soldiers. Being a warrior is a lifestyle and a way of life. Warriors are enlisted for life! Soldiers only fight temporarily and then go back to life as usual. Warriors NEVER stop fighting! We are walking in a unique season. Warriors take the pressures of what comes against them and use it as an opportunity for inward transformation. Warriors allow the pressure around them to increase pressure in them for greatness and power. Warriors always strategize how to defeat the enemy.  

Isaiah 43:5-7 says:

⁵ Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east [where they are dispersed] and gather you from the west. ⁶ I will say to the north, Give up! and to the south, Keep not back. Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth—⁷ Even everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory, whom I have formed, whom I have made.

There are 6 swords that warriors fight with:

1. The Sword of Words - God's Word. We are to speak His Word to all matters, for the power of life and death is in the warrior's tongue.
2. The Sword of Harvest - Warriors clear the path for the harvest. They sow and they reap. They strike down predators that get in the way of the harvest. They bring the word of God down, so the harvest can come forth.
3. The Sword of Light - Hate lives in the dark. Love lives in the light. The warrior abides in the light.
4. The Sword of Song - Sometimes all it takes is a song to tip the battlefield in our favor. Songs confuse the enemy and praise goes before the battle is ever fought and won. So sing! Don't let the enemy steal your song!
5. The Sword of Silence - God will fight the battle for you. Just stand and be silent. Watch Him defeat the enemy before your eyes.
6. The Sword of Forgiveness and Restoration - This helps us to weigh our motives. Always walk in forgiveness, no matter what someone has done to you or said about you.

It's time to rise up WARRIORS! It's time to fight and take back ALL the enemy has taken from us. It's time to stand in the gap for souls. Can you hear the rally and the war cry of your Captain of the Host - Warrior-King Jesus? Wake up, armor up, strategize. Let's go. Listen, it's already settled. Victory is ours because of Jesus. We win this war. We just need to fight.

Scene from The Lord of the Rings, written by J. R. R. Tolkien,

a Christian author, who wrote this epic series to explain the

fight between the Kingdom of our God and the

kingdom of darkness.

We are ALL in this together: A Call to Action!

I know it has been a while since I have posted, and it's a Saturday, but the Lord told me to write and post. Many of you have been disappointed and need encouragement from a Man or Woman of God. So, I am here to encourage you Dear Ones. First, let me declare that I am no one special. My title does not mean I am higher than anyone. I am a nobody just trying to tell everybody about somebody who can change anybody.

I am human, like you. I have struggles, like you. The enemy attacks me, like he attacks you. Listen, Dear Ones, we are in this thing together. The only thing that makes me a "pastor" are my credentials and the job I do, which is to shepherd the Lord's sheep. I put my pants on the same as you. I brush my teeth the same as you. I face disappointments, pain, and sickness, just like you. I have faith tests, just like you. Occasionally, I run ahead of the Lord and He has to deal with me.

We are ALL living in days where we NEED each other. No one can sit back and let others do the work. There is MUCH to be done and miles to go before we sleep! Everyone is needed; EVERYONE! Prayer warriors, laborers and workers. Any position you can think of, YES, YOU are needed! Luke 10:2 says, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." I am asking the Lord for workers. YOU are needed! Rise up. Wake up. Stand up.

It is VERY important (muy importante) that you understand that YOU HAVE VALUE!!! If you are not called to the five-fold ministry (preacher, teacher, evangelist, prophet, apostle) in Ephesians 4:11, it's OK. Not everyone is called to one of these ministries. However, you are still a minister and an ambassador.

However, you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9

Every believer starts here. It's up to God if He calls you to a more specified position. It's like being a doctor. You can be a general practitioner with basic training and a general call to reach the general populace. Then, there are the specialists, who have more training and are called to specified fields and roles. Just remember Dear Ones, that EVERY believer is a general practitioner, with the authority, training, and the equipment to act as such.

We are all part of the same body. Each of us has a God-ordained role to fulfill. It is VERY important (muy importante) for us to understand this. If you do NOT fill the position you were called to fill, there is potential trouble for the whole body. We need each other. Read 1 Corinthians 12. Also, remember we are all part of the Lord's Army. He is The Captain of the Host we see in Joshua 5:13-15.

¹³ When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you one of us or one of our enemies?” ¹⁴ He answered, “Neither one! I am here as the commander of the Lord’s army.” Immediately, Joshua bowed with his face touching the ground and worshiped. He asked, “Sir, what do you want to tell me?” ¹⁵ The commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals because this place where you are standing is holy.” So Joshua did as he was told.

So, there is a hierarchy here and we need to get this. Jesus is the head of The Body. We are The Body. Jesus is The Captain of the Host and we are His Army. So, there is a rank of sorts, but not to cause friction, envy, or discord among us. It is just the position we are called to. That's all. No need for jealousy among us. Beside that, we are each equally important to His Cause, no matter what our position is.

We HAVE TO get this my brothers and sisters. No one in ministry leadership is to pull rank on their sheep, acting like they are high and mighty. They are servants and are called to act like servants. This means a life poured out. This means sacrifice for the cause. This means prayer and fasting and weeping before the Lord for His People. This means death to self.

I am sorry if any preacher, pastor, or minister has given you a poor example. Please allow me to ask your forgiveness on the behalf of the true pastors of God. I am sorry if you have had poor examples. I am sorry if you have been disenfranchised by any action, word, or deed of someone who is a pastor. Please forgive them and release them. They are the Lord's business to deal with, and He will deal with them. Remember the greater the calling on one's life, the greater the responsibility to the Lord. He will call them on the carpet. So, don't you worry about that. You live your life holy unto God with mercy and grace, love and forgiveness.

For everyone to whom much is given, of him shall much be required; and of him to whom men entrust much, they will require and demand all the more. Luke 12:48

This pastor calls you to awake, arise, stand up, and join in the fight against the kingdom of darkness. We need you. You are equipped and called by the One who gave His life FOR YOU! This is a rally to join The Cause. Listen Dear Ones, The Mission gives you Permission! But just in case you NEED to hear the word of a Man or Woman of God, hear me! I call you to take your post. I call you to duty. I activate you now. Let's go.

On your feet soldier!
Grab your sword.
Put on your armor and fall into rank.
