Still Looking For Jesus?
Change your approach from looking to feeling.
Acts 17:27-28
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Looking involves too much thinking. Thought often invites evil unbelief.
Instead, feel Jesus in your own being, your awareness of self.
Let Jesus feel you, then you will feel him and be him. You both are of one spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:17
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
You could have the thought that Jesus is your life, and that would be correct thinking; however once you recognize that truth without needing to think it is true (because you can feel him in you), the truth becomes the truth for you. You become him. The Life Force of your existence shines brighter. You have found him and he has found you. Diligently seek him in this way and receive your reward.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

1 Corinthians 11:31-34
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Revelation 12:11

Revelation 12:11
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word…of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Rev 12:11 KJV)
(1Ti 6:13 KJV)
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
Jesus said what God told Him to say even when in time of great trial before Pontius Pilate.
We also say what God’s word says to say when we are faced with a great trial.
Again–how we overcome is by the word of our testimony which is to say out loud what God says in His word concerning the situation we are in. We do NOT say the negative things that are happening about our situation, rather we repeat the promises of God concerning our situation.
We overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil by saying God’s word.
Revelation 12:11 KJV says we overcame him ( the devil) by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony.
Revelation 12:11 KJV says we overcame him ( the devil) by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony.
After we have accepted the Lord Jesus as our Savior then we change our testimony or our words to His words. We line up our testimony with God’s testimony or God’s words.
We believe what God’s word says about us and our situation and we say what God’s word says about our situation . We also can reverse that and confess what God’s word says first about a situation and then belief in God’s word will come because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God preached.
Romans 10:verses 9 and 10 speak of this fact.
Romans 10:9 and 10– you believe and you confess Jesus as your Lord.
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Rom 10:9 KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Rom 10:9 KJV)
Go out today and overcome the world!

For I am the Lord God that healeth thee that has come to the still waters of your soul and I say unto you my children that I have called every single one of you to the task at hand to build, to build, to build. Now is the time to build up. There was a time of tearing down, there was a time of uprooting…, there was a time to store, but now I say unto you there is a time to build up, to build up, to build up; to encourage one another to strengthen one another, to bond yourself together with my love; to have a bond that is impenetrable, unbreakable, that the enemy cannot tear apart.
I say unto you, put aside those things, those faults those criticisms, do not tear down but rather build up, build up, build up. See the good, see the blessing, see the triumph, see my new beginning, see my hope, see my blessing. Look to it. See it, receive it. Take it. Repent of criticism, turn from it. Do not allow it to control you. Do not allow it to control your speech, but rather build up, find the good. See the good, look to the good.
Am I not a good God? Do I not pour out good things? Do I not bless? Do I not heal? Do I not sustain? Do I not help in time of need? Therefore saith the Lord – respect, give honor to those who deserve honor. Give respect to those who are to be respected. Give place for those who have gifts. Look not to your own. Be not concerned with your own being lifted up, but exalt others. Help them achieve their goals. Help them arise to the task in their own life. Do not be self-sufficient, but rather humble, seeking my face, seeking my face for further deliverance, for help in time of need.
I have poured out a blessing upon this place, not just the physical building but upon these people. I have poured out a blessing and a triumph, a new beginning, a new hope, a new design, a new look, a new heart, a new group. Everyone, I say unto you – gather, gather, gather, gather, gather, gather those that are missing today, gather them. Gather them; undergird them, say, “can I help? How can I help?” love them. Bless them. but know this saith the Lord, I desire for this vision to go forth with great power and majesty, desire for this vision to be overtaking the world – to be overtaking the world, the flesh and the devil. Stand strong, stand firm, do not look back. Those that have gone in the days gone by, allow them to be gone. Push forward. Look to what I desire for you to do. What is it that I’ve called you to do? Where is your place on the wall? Where is your place? Where is your niche? Where is the place that I’ve called you? I’ve called you, not them, not the person beside you. Where is the place that I’ve called you to in this ministry? Where do you stand?
Is your hand to help? Is it to hinder? Is it to build up? Is it to strengthen? Is it to encourage? Or is it to stand by and watch?
I say unto you, I’ve called every single person to be about my business, the King’s business. I have put a call out, and those that would come have come; those that have gone by have gone by; have forsaken the vision. But know this saith the Lord- there is a blessing for the remnant. There is a blessing for those that desire to go on with me, there is a blessing; and you’d say, “well where is it Lord, is it hidden?” and I’d say no, I put the blessing before you. Receive it, take it, know that I want you to have it. and you would say, “but Lord, there are those that have found fault, those that have torn down, those that have criticized, those that say, there is no blessing, those that would say there is no hope, there is no answer, we’ve waited long enough, we’ve waited long enough, we’ve waited long enough”.
I have heard those words, they have been stout against me saith the Lord. but know this saith the Lord God, those – the remnant, those that remain, those that remain steadfast in my word, remain steadfast in me, remain steadfast; that they will not allow anything to tear them down, they will not allow anything to stop them from the mission at hand, they will not allow anything to stop them from pursuing what it is I desire for them to do. Know this saith the Lord, there is a blessing, there is a blessing, there is a blessing and this blessing is for you saith God. The blessing is for you. Take it receive it, take it to yourselves. Do not be concerned and say, “Well Lord, I can’t take the blessing, I’m not worthy”. You are worthy because I’ve called you worthy. I have forgiven you; I have shed my blood for you. You are worthy because I say you are worthy. Now go forth in this – the knowledge that you are my children, you are my beloved. I love you and will make sure that the blessing is manifested right before your eyes in the name of my son Jesus Amen. Amen.
We praise you Lord and we honor your Word this morning. We do not despise prophecy Father; your Word says not to despise it. So we honor your Word Father. We honor it. We say thank you Father God for speaking to us today. We worship you Jesus. Amen. Amen

What’s New For Year 2012

Posted on Sep 25, 2011 in Prophetic Voices
Hello Everyone,
The Lord has been speaking to me already about the New Year 2012! It shall be a year full of blessing. Upsets will turn around. Wealth and riches shall start to pour in. Sow your best seeds in the remaining months of this year.You will begin to see the financial harvest even by the end of this year…Definitely in the New Year untold blessings shall come in from many different places as well as the regular avenues of blessing.
For the world there shall be continued unrest and insolvency. The world’s system is falling apart as we know it. Many shall be ruined financially but not for the household of faith! Those that give faithful tithes and offerings shall see recovery and blessing. Ease shall show up for all who stand on God’s word. Recovery, recovery, recovery is for the church of God and all that call upon the Name of the Lord. Look for recovery and blessing!
Hang in there and do not give up because blessing is here now and more harvest to come is just aroung the corner. Look for unexpected blessing. It will pop up suddenly! Do NOT give up and do not fear. Fear destroys but continued faith assures the blessing! This of course is for all those who are standing firm in their faith. To those who give up there will be defeat. Do not give up! Continue on in faith for healing, financial blessing and family restoration.
Do this right now–stand and give God sacrificial praise! Do this expecting a harvest by faith and then expect or look for the return and it shall come shortly saith the Lord of Hosts. Amen!
KJV Psalm 112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. {discretion: Heb. judgment}
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
(Psa 112:1 KJV)

Jesus Is Not On The Cross Anymore
Jesus Is Not On The Cross Anymore!

Posted on Jul 20, 2011 in Prophetic Voices
Jesus is not on the cross anymore. He is not dead. He is alive and sitting at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. This is good news!!! Our God is an alive… God! He has not gone on vacation, called in sick, gone missing or entered into early retirement! He’s alive!!!
He is on His throne and ready to assist us with anything that comes into our lives. He knows us each individually by name, wants to communicate with us personally, and lead us into a higher place in Him. He gives us all power and authority over the devil and this world’s system. Let’s renew our minds to these truths, open our eyes to the full gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and enlarge our hearts to further receive the future plans God has for our lives.
Prayer: Lord Jesus I open my heart to you today. Please open the eyes of my understanding as to who I am in You. Lord Jesus enlarge my heart to the vision that you have for me, in Jesus Name, Amen.
