The Dry And Weary Land

The Dry And Weary Land

Beloveds, many saints have truly walked through the valley of the shadow of death this past year. It was a year of great testing and character building. There where many moments where “going back to Egypt” seemed much better than moving forward to the promised land…BUT you have held firm to Jesus.

I want to salute you for keeping on even when it hurt so much, where you felt like you were at breaking point and did not have the strength to go any further. Well done for not denying God’s name, for holding on to Him when nothing made sense.

Well, done good and faithful servant!

A Vision And Word

I would like to share with you what I believe God wants to tell us.

I saw a vision of a valley which was dry and weary. I knew immediately that this was the condition of many saints’ land in the spirt. All of a sudden I heard the rumbling of many waters coming from the mountain top. I was immediately thinking of the scripture where David said that God will come like a breakthrough of water. It felt to me like this magnitude of water was called PERAZIM (2 Sam 5:20). It came with such a great force and I could hear God’s voice speaking in these waters. As the waters was churning and flooding through the river on the mountain I heard God saying: “the desert shall bloom”, “I am coming with recompense”, “beauty for ashes”, “sorrow for joy”, rebuild what was broken. Then I saw these waters broke out into a huge waterfall. At the bottom of the waterfall a pool formed and rivers started forming and flowing out from this place into the land. The water started moving into different directions into the land. The massive force of water changed into streams of living water. Everywhere these rivers flowed everything started coming to life. I heard God saying: “You have to focus on Me as “Perazim”, who will break through the closed doors and barriers for you. As you behold Me, streams of living water will flood your spirt, soul, body, office, birthright and assignments and you will flourish!

As the water flowed through the land I saw varieties of plants I have never seen before sprouting forth. I heard God saying again: ” This is the new thing that you have been waiting for for so long. This is the new way of living, moving and having your being. This NEW is for moving stubborn mountains, mountains that many others tried to move but couldn’t. It requires a different breed to do this. A breed that has said yes to me and who chose to walk through the pain, suffering and restrictions others and circumstances have placed on them. These are the ones that will carry an anointing that has My glory all over it and it can not be stopped! This is the fire that is needed to break in to lives that are written off by society and themselves. Lives that are so far from truth and which seems lost forever. This is for those that I am going after with zeal to save! Hold on to what I have promised you, for I will surely do it! Incline your ears, listen for the sound of many waters and get ready to SHIFT.”

Beloveds, our lives are not our own. We are lay down lovers for the cause of Jesus. I believe with my whole heart that as we build God’s kingdom He will rebuild the things in our lives that are broken down and recompense will come to us. So do not get weary in well doing.

God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Let us fling wide our gates, listen for the sound of many waters and allow our King of Glory to step in in His Majesty and Splendor!

King Jesus – Yours is the kingdom the power and glory forever and ever Amen!

Isaiah 44:3

3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

Psalm 29

Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in the splendor of his[a] holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
    the God of glory thunders,
    the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.

Isaiah 35

The desert and the parched land will be glad;
    the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus, 2 it will burst into bloom;
    it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.

The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
    the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;
they will see the glory of the Lord,
    the splendor of our God.

God Is Faithful To The End!

God Is Faithful To The End!

GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU THIS FAR, HE WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT LEAVE YOU NOW!

It is now time for you to stand on who He is and not waver under the pressure of the voices that are screaming loud in your ears that you are not going to make it.

Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are law and justice. A God of faithfulness without breach or deviation, just and right is He.

Faithfulness meaning – Loyal, adherence to do what was said, true heartedness, allegiance, committed.

If you are finding yourself struggling to hold on or if you feel like aborting the mission, I want to declare the next verses over you. Let your spirit drink deep as you read this in Jesus name.

Father, in the name of Jesus I pray that you will fuse us with these words today, that our spirits will grab hold of these truths and that we will rise up in Your power and might. I ask as we read that You will renew our strength in the name of Jesus. That we will keep moving in Jesus name. We repent of wanting to abort our missions because of the pressure that is intense. We hold the blood of Jesus against every dark thing that wants to stop us in Jesus name. We declare that we will NOT stop now in Jesus name. You are not a lier. Your word will come to pass and not return void in the name of Jesus. Father we ask in Jesus name, by the blood of the Lamb that you will breathe into our nostrills and bring us back to life there where life has been pushed out of us. In the mighty name of Jesus we decree the following scriptures over each one of us and we include the body of Christ in every nation, we say this is truth and we will hang unto truth in Jesus name.

Joshua 21:45 NIV Not one of all the Lord’s good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.

Psalm 36:5 Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, extend to the skies, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.

Psalm 40:11  Your faithfulness is from generation to generation; You have established the earth, and it stands fast.

Psalm 119:90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures.

Isaiah 25:1 Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.

Lamentations 3:23-24 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassion never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Father we ask for those that are overwhelmed by circumstances, that your love will collide with their hearts and we ask that you will provide the way out so that they can endure in the name of Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.

2 Timothy 2:13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

 Hebrews 11:11 Because of faith also Sarah herself received physical power to conceive a child, even when she was long past the age for it, because she considered [God] Who had given her the promise to be reliable and trustworthy and true to His word.

Father we pray that the gift of faith will be stirred up in us like never before and that we will hold unto Your faithfulnes and not let go until You have done what You said You will do in the name of Jesus. Please forgive us for moving in our own strength and not allowing Your Spirit to take charge. We fling wide our gates and we ask You to come and strengthen us so that we can break through in Your Power in Jesus name. Amen and amen.

Now beloveds, let us get up, shake off the dust and keep moving.

GOD IS IN YOUR STORY!!!

The Power Of The Tongue

The Power Of The Tongue

Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

We all are well acquainted with this scripture. We often use it, but do we really understand how much weight it carries? Our tongues are the controllers of our and others destinies. The things we utter can either make or break us.

The other day I was speaking to a dear friend of mine. We were talking about the condition her body has been in for years. She has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few years ago. This illness has been dragging her down severely for many years. People even started making jokes about her being sick the whole time. She also couldn’t get going with her career because of the severity of this sickness.

I was talking to her about how easy it is for us as humans to come in agreement with difficult things we face in our lives, especially when we carry sickness in our bodies. I understand that we think that when people ask us how we are doing when we are ill that we should tell them exactly how we feel otherwise we lie when we say we are ok. I believe we have it completely wrong? Let us look at another angle concerning this.

The moment we start talking about how much we are in pain or how terrible we feel, we start agreeing with the codition. We give it more power to rule over us and our eyes get stuck on the pain. We will start loosing sight of Jesus our healer and deliverer. The moment we get stuck in the pain we actually start adding fuel to the pain and we start falling into a downward spiral.

Then there is another issue that we should be very careful of. Say for instance we tell our best friend/friends (who truly has our backs, loves us and has no intention to harm us) the severity of our pain they can go and talk (very innocently) to their parents or someone they trust and tell them how sorry they feel for you because you have been suffering with this sickness. They don’t have ill intentions towards you, they really are concerned for you, but the enemy comes in and uses that conversation and how sick you are against you, even if the intention was not to harm you. The moment people are talking and coming in agreement with how bad it is going with you, that moment you get added oppression to what you are fighting because you are being bound by their agreement.

SPOKEN WORDS CAN EITHER BIND OR LOOSE US!

Many times when we say things to others about others in innocence, we might think there is nothing wrong with it because you are not speaking ill, but in actual fact it is gossip. Gossip is not only when you speak ill about someone, gossip is talking about other people, good or bad.

It requires a lot of discipline to control the words we speak. The biggest thing for us to remember is that we can do great damage to others and ourselves by what we say. It is imminent for us to become more mindful of this. And if we should fail and the words already left our mouthes, we can quickly repent and break those words before it is used by darkness.

It is much better to fly under the radar and not create an opportunity for the enemy to add more pain to us by what is spoken.

So, how do we answer then? How did Jesus answer? He always ansered with the Word of God. How’s about answering someone who is asking how you are doing by saying: “I am overcoming by the blood of the lamb or I am getting there, but please keep on praying for me”.(Or even better, ask Holy Spirit how you should answer). This way you will keep yourself safe from added war and from agreeing with the devil.

My friend had an immense mind shift concerning this. The moment she stopped saying how bad the sickness was and being more mindful of what she was speaking and agreeing with, her whole countenance or “vibe” (for a lack of better word) changed. She is now getting up, doing life and experiencing more joy than before, even though she is not completely healed yet.

Once my mother said something very profound to me while she was struggling with pain in her body, she said: ” I am living this pain dead.”

Note what the scripture above says, we will eat the fruit of what we are speaking and agreeing with.

Beloved, what are you saying to others or even to yourself that can bind you and place you under more oppression and pain (the fruit)? Are you being mindful of how much weight your words carry? Let us become more careful of what we utter. Even those of us that are the ones that heard how bad it is going with a friend, let us for their sake not talk about it but rather cover them in prayer. This way we won’t open our friend up to more attack.

WATCH YOUR AGREEMENT! Even nodding is agreeing. Be careful what you nod your head to, the enemy will use that against you.

This is obviously not only applicable to sickness but to any form of trouble we might go through.

I pray that Holy Spirit will make us sharp and awake so that we can catch ourselves before we step into a trap of agreeing with darkness or talking about someone that we can bind with our words.

Let us pray:Abba Father, You are wonderful, counsellor, Mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Holy one. I want to bring my prayer before You in sincerity and I want to say that I am guilty of binding myself by agreeing with how terrible and overwhelming my pain and sufferings are. I repent for murmuring and believing that I won’t be able to get through it. Please forgive me for binding myself and getting locked down in this belief that I won’t overcome. Father, You say in Your word we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. Please forgive me for not holding unto this Word. Father, I want to bring every instance before you where I have discussed people and their problems with others, even if it was not with evil intent, where I have unleashed more war upon them with agreeing how bad they are doing. I repent of gossiping, this is sin. I repent of this in Jesus name and I ask that you will forgive me for my part in agreeing with a bad report and not bringing hope as I should. Please cleanse my tongue from coming in agreement with darkness in the name of Jesus. Please cleanse me with Your blood and set me free from evil in Jesus name. Please bring me to my senses for this has become a habit. A habit, especially where when I get together with friends and we talk about our pain and issues we come in agreement with how terrible it is and not looking to the hope that is in You. Holy Spirit please make me uncomfortable with this sin in the name of Jesus. Father, I rededicate my tongue to You in the name of Jesus. I want to speak and agree with that which is Holy, Righteous and Just. Please help me to speak only Your words and that which matters to You. Father, please deliver and heal each one that was brought under demonic attack through my agreement and gossiping in the name of Jesus. Heal their brokenness and bring them out from under that report by the blood of Jesus. Please silence every word that was spoken against them with the blood of Jesus! I declare they shall live and not die in the mighty name of Jesus. I pray all this in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth who came in the flesh! Father, I declare by the blood of Jesus that I will be strong in You Lord and in the power of Your might according to Ephesians 6:10. Amen and amen.
