In history past, whole age groups of babies were murdered by men cooperateing with the plans of the devil. In every case it was an attempt to stop the soon coming release of a plan or purpose of God. I believe with all my heart that the tragedy of abortion in America and around the world is an attempt to stop the sons and daughters of God from appearing. The bible clearly states that when this happens all of creation will cease to groan. Go ahead, you were born and born again for this purpose.

Holy Spirit has been hovering over the darkness that you will be sent to. He has been hovering over darkness and bringing forth life since the beginning of creation. Be bold and realize that Holy Spirit has incubated a hatch of Heavenly power and demonstration as He brooded over the darkness. You have the life, light and power to blast away the chains of darkness that illegally hold His creation. Arise!

Today christians all over the globe are hungry. Hungry for a genuine powerful walk with the Lord. The thing is that we seem to want to add that to our life and ask God to bless it all where we are. It never happened that way in the past and probly wont in the future. The equation is not addition but subtraction. What is it that you wont let go of in order to have revival? Take up your cross daily and subtract all of you so that all of Him is all thats left.

All of your days were written down before the earth was made. Even Jesus said that He only did what He saw the Father doing and only said what He heard the Father say. How is it that we expect God to bless what we are doing and empower our words if they arent His?

Paul recieved his understanding of God and the massive amount of revelation in the seclusion of the wilderness, it was there he recieved a revelation of Jesus Christ. Ask while in your secret place for Jesus Christ to reveal Himself to you in a greater way. Find a time and place that you can spend time listening and waiting upon Him to speak to you. You can fully know Him.

Jesus, if He is lifted up He will draw all men to Him. Jesus, when the sinfull enimies of God see Him for who He is they are transformed. Jesus the beginning and the end, the polar opposite of the darkness in the fallen heart of man. Jesus.

Stop talking like He isnt in the room. Stop praying like He is out there somewhere and you are trying to get Him to listen. He is in You.

Jesus asked Peter "who do you say that I am?. He is stll asking us the same thing today. Who do you say that He is? He is the fulness of your life. He is the reason you live, to allow Him to get out in our world today. He is the answer to the bleeding hearts and broken dreams that are drowning a generation with death and darkness, all with no hope. He is, He is in you, He is alive in you, He is aching to get out of you, a life that He died for in order that He could live in you and thru you. HE IS!

You know something has to change. You know there is something on the inside that says this is not all. This is not what i know should be happening. You are hungry for an answer to an undescribable question. You know something has to change. Let the change come from Jesus Christ. He is the one the Holy Spirit speaks of. He is the one all of the law and prophets of old speak of. He is the one who has the answer.

The Kingdom of Heaven is in you, Jesus told Nicodemus that if he were born of the Spirit he could see the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus in you is the hope of glory. Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. You are seated with Jesus in Heavenly places. Wow! Did you know where you were at? You are a dangerous overcoming victorious conquerer who is equiped with every Spiritual blessing in heavenly places!

You were made with a specific purpose in mind. You were not made so that you could have your sins forgiven. You were made so that after you had your sins forgiven you could allow your Father in heaven to move in and thru you. So are you fulfilled in your original purpose or are you frustrated?

Jesus is in you. He wants you to let Him out. Let Him out to give the Father glory. Let Him out to answer the calls for help, the crys for someone to notice. Let Him out, and when you do, do it so that He will get glory and honor and praise. LET HIM OUT!

He wants heaven to come to earth. He wants you and your family to walk in the fulness of your God given destiny. He wants the desires of your heart met. He wants to open up the complete flow of the rivers of living water from within you. He is not trying to catch up to our society and an out of control nation. We need to catch up to Him. HE WANTS IT TOO!

You were not created to observe and comment. You were not created to exist in the ever increasing demand of a life that only meets your needs. You were created to be a terror to the devil and a shining light to the people in your area of influence. You are a risk taker and a person who doesnt consider self before defending the defenceless. You are the answer to the prayers of Jesus. Thats who you are.

Make a staement about you and your family. Make a statement about your church and community. Make a noise that when released into the atmosphere creates heaven here on earth. I declare poverty in my city is unacceptable, drug addiction and profiting from the sale of drugs in my city is wrong and will be removed. God spoke and then a thing was done. Before power happens there is a sound. Make a statement about your space here and bring heaven to your earth.

God created man to be forever in His presence. At the cross the separation that had come between man and God was removed. Jesus restored to us the ability to be in our Heavenly Fathers presence always. Its man that assumes that it is for church or just a private time when we have a tangible presence of the Lord with us, not so. Get in and Stay!

You pray with power when you say what your Heavenly Father is saying. Even Jesus only said what He had heard His Father say. God told Ezekiel to say to the dry bones, live and when Ezekiel said the same thing God said, the bones lived. That is praying with power. Prayer becomes efforless when we have a face to face relationship like that with our Father, our heavenly Daddy in heaven. You can PRAY with POWER!

Reality is that we are meant to be supernatural people. We are to have a vision of God that burns in our hearts to bring Heaven to earth just like it is in Heaven! Thats reality.

The bible says that when we draw near to God, that He will draw near to us. I believe that the nearness of God in our lives is up to us. How much revaltion, how much of His awesome presence, how much? How much do you want? Its up to you!

Business covers the pain of an orphaned spirit.(Bill Johnson) Much of the activity in church today is mostly a bunch of traditional activity that deadens holes in hearts that dont have a face to face relationship with a loving Father. We are no longer servants trying to please our master but we are the sons and daughters of God, part of His family and accepted no matter what the level of busy we have. There is power and rest in it, recieve it today and manifest the glory of God that you can then use to give Him all of the praise and honor He deserves.

Many today are filled with the word, can enter into the presence of God easily and experience Him in a special way. Many have emptied themselves of selfishness and asked to be filled full in order to be a blessing to others. The thing is that most are waiting for some higher authority to recognize the anointing on their lives and affirm their giftings in ministry. But Jesus said go, He didnt say check with man and ask if its okay. There is no higher power than that. Go, produce fruit and win for Jesus the inheritance He paid for, then man will notice and by then it wont matter. You are READY!

Yes, He uses all of you and your life. He uses the disapointments, times when you wanted to quit and the part of you that you have still yet to fully develope in Him. God doesnt waste anything. He can use the very darkest time in your life to grow you stronger in Him. If you will stay close to Him, let the process of life make you a man of God who has need of nothing, perfect in his God, you will come out of the hard times able to let Him flow thru you in a greater way. He uses all of you.

You must know this. The size God is in your life and belief system is directly related to your ability to give Him worship and praise. He deserves the highest praise and glory. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you in a bigger way so that when you worship Him, He recieves not the praise of a little limmitted God, but the praise due His glorious Name. He is REALLY BIG!

Do it now, do what you have in your heart. Do the things you said you would do, do them now. Do the things the Holy Spirit has been nudging you to do, do the word, do something with the gifts that are in you. Be a doer, Now!

I know you. You are just like me, human, fragile in many ways. But I also know your God. He is. He was, and always will be. He will have what He has started in the earth. A kingdom without end, with peace that goes beyond what we can understand. A people who know their God and do exploits. A bride that is spotless and pure. You have an awsome God who is more than enough for you and your fragile life. He is God.

Today more than ever in all of history the earth groans. It groans because of the unmet needs it endures while waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. We are people who have been given power to be the answer to the needs of the world right now. The moment you step into thinking you have a part in bringing His kingdom here like it is in heaven, then you are doing what Jesus first preached. Repent (change the way you think and act) for the kindom of heaven is among you. Be an answer today!

Gods plan for our time here on earth is a kingdom plan. It has a big picture that is far beyond seeing our personal needs met, our local church prospering or even your nations problems being solved. Gods plan includes you influencing generations to come with a fire to serve Him. Gods plan includes us discipleing nations to serve Him as sheep nations. That is a big plan, a kingdom of God here on earth just like it is in heaven manifesting thru you and me. See it big.

You were made by God for a specific work in the earth to be done by His grace and power working thru you. You may not be a pastor, you may never stand behind a pulpit to do your work but it is no less important. It is your gifts and callings empowered by the destiny of your God given DNA that will produce His Kingdom come on the Earth as it is in Heaven. Be you in Him.

I know that the devil has unleashed fear in our land. Fear of the unknown, terror, war, whatever else you let your mind imagine. As for me, I serve the God of all hope. He is my hope for right now and for eternity. I have hope because He is. God has never given us reason to do anything else but to simply trust in His goodness and faithfulness. Receive His hope today in Jesus name, dont be afraid and keep your mind on Him.

God worked thru Moses when he held up his staff and split the Red Sea. God worked thru Ezekiel when he spoke to the dry bones to rise up and become a mighty army. Why do you suppose God had to have these men do something for Him in order for the miracle to take place? God could part the Sea by himself and raise up armies with just a word, but he choses to work thru me and you with His power and word to produce and display His wonders in the earth. Just obey what He says and simply believe.

When you were born again the bible says that you believed with your heart. Your heart is the place where you bypass human understanding and with your spirit you bear witness to the life giving Spirit of God present in the promise you believe in. Paul prayed that the eyes of our heart would be open so that we would know the power of Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. We are to know the power of God, in our heart, and then be a conduit to dispence it to people who have need.

We know God moves. He moved upon the darkness to create the earth, to lead the Israelites thru the wilderness, to the earth thru Jesus to pay for our penalty and buy back the rule and authority of man in the earth. God still moves, and if we are truely followers of His will and word, we will find out where God is moving in the kingdom here on earth. We must realize that Christianity is not a static book of information about God. We must move with the alive and ever moving Spirit of God. Pray and ask Him to tell you where to go and what to do. Expect His outpouring to happen thru you and the words He puts in your mouth.

Our faith in God and the words He spoke are the bedrock of our lives. We must make a choice each day that the word will be the deciding influence in every circumstance we find ourselves in. If there are other influencing factors outside of the word then our hearts are easily decieved and we will go astray. What will they think? What if it doesnt work and I look foolish? What if no one else agrees with me? Well, it is time to set your mind on the things above. Set your mind on the word and never come off of it. Gods word is life and it is Spirit to them that believe.

Faith is that thing you are doing that unless God is working thru you to do it, it would never work. Not doing anything with your faith is by default, sin. You have been given the ability to ask anything of the Father in Jesus name and He will give it to you. You have been given specific work to do here on earth and most of it probly is not in your church seat on Sunday morning. Obedience is better than sacrifice, we are not doing God a favor by going to church and then doing nothing with what the Men and Women of God have equiped us to do. Faith is a verb, an action word, Do You?

Terror is a tool of the devil and the people he uses to accomplish his plans. Terror tells you that it will take away what you value most and will not stop at any cost.
It is only effective if you will be afraid. Fear is the polar opposite of faith. Faith is the tool that God uses in His people to accomplish His plans in the earth. Faith works because Jesus paid everything it takes for it to be effective. Have faith in God and have NO FEAR!

I recently saw a young woman play a harp on tv at a chapel service. It was amazing how well she could play and give glory to God while doing it. She had to have spent untold years practicing and preparing in order to master that instrument. Your life in its everyday routine is the same. You have spent years becoming who you are and doing what you do. No one else on earth can be you like you can!
So use your everyday life to Glorify Him. He is Worthy.

The hungry and thirsty will be filled. Those who come close to God will have Him come close to them. You can satisfy your hunger for fulfillment in only one place, in the indwelling presence of God and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. The cares of life and the busyness of our day can steal our hunger. No hunger, no filling. Make room for the presence of the Father in every day and be filled.

Like I said yesterday, the will of the Father was demonstrated for us and recorded in the bible. When you pray Thy kingdom come and Thy will be done you are asking for the demonstration of God thru man. It is the will of God for you to lay hands on the sick and see them recover, to cast out devils and raise the dead. Jesus said he would baptise us with the Spirit and fire. Ask for it and then light a blaze across this land for His Glory!

Jesus said "If you have seen Me you have seen the Father". So what ever Jesus said or did on the earth was the same as if God the Father did or said it. If we know that then take for example healing. Jesus healed them all, none were turned away that asked for healing. Even when Jesus said its not time yet for the gentiles to recieve the lady said yes master but even the dogs recieve crumbs from the table. He healed the womans' daughter even before it was time. So as kingdom children who are called to be the voice and hands of Jesus in the earth, know this, it is Gods' will to heal every sick person that you lay hands on or pray for!

Kingdom people today are in a great place to recieve the wealth that the wicked have labored for and stored up for us the righteous in Christ Jesus. We know that God is not in a recesion. We know that even though we live in this world we are citizens of the Kingdom of God. There is no lack in His kingdom, no worry, no sorrow, no confusion. There cetianly is not fear in His Kingdom either. Speak to the mountain of lack in your life, call forth the inherited blessing we have as sons of God today!

Your Father in Heaven delights when things go well for you. He is a good Father who wants you to be well, have your bills paid, be free from the jail like conditions of your repetitve sin and guilt. Jesus said if you have seen me you have seen the Father. Well, Jesus healed everyone who asked. He fed those who were hungry. He provided tax money for the tempel. He wept for the people he had come to help. He drove out the demons and set the world back on course. If Jesus did those things and he did, then your Father will give you the same and more! Be confident, ask and you will recieve.

2010 will be a year of opportunity. It is a window of opportunity that we must not miss. When darkness increases in the earth because of the evil works of man influenced by the devil and his imps, the bible declares that the glory of the Lord will increase. We have an opportunity to be a light that will shatter the darknes thru the power of God. There will also be opportunity for fear, to give up on what you believe, to cave in to the humanistic plans of our liberal society. God will back up what you do in these days with His power, you can choose today to protect yourself in a make believe bubble of indifferance or you can fulfill the God given call on your life to glorify Him with your life. Fear not, He is with you and the ability to do what is in your heart has been put in you from the beginning of time.

Years ago I had a vision of tiny fires burning on the map of America. The fires all grew in size until the whole map burned with flame. John Wesly was asked why so many people would come out to be in His meetings. His reply was "I just set myself on fire and they come to see me burn". The fire he was talking about was the Spirit and Fire that Jesus said He would baptize us with after He went to His Father. Ask the Lord for it, give Him your future and let Him cleans you of your past. Revelation says we are to buy from Him gold refined with fire. Be a fire, people will come to see and know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God sent to us for the salvation of man.

Be bold today. We are equiped with the complete fullness of God. He has given us everything we need to be a agent of change in our society. Our lives are supposed to effect change in the spiritual and natural enviornment around us.
Jesus even prayed that very thing for us in John 17. Speak the word today, let your believing include the actions to prove what you believe. Thats' being ready for the day.

The bible calls David a man whose heart was after God. In the Message translation of the bible, it reads that David was a man whose heart beat like Gods' heart. Gods' eyes are still looking across the earth to find a heart that beats like His so that He can show Himself strong thru that child of God. His heart is for lost man to be saved, for the sick man to be healed, for the man in the prison of sin and death to be set free. Hear His heart beat today, and let your heart become one heart with Him.

Jesus said that we were to look up for our redemption was coming close. Well I believe it is time for Gods people to look again. Reformation, huge change is here in the body of Christ. I have sensed it for years, a holy unsatisfaction. I am totally satisfied in the kingdom of God but unsatisfied with the way we choose to live in that kingdom. Jesus! Son of David! Open our eyes so we can see! Not with eyes that see men as trees, but eyes that see them as you do, whole and free from the curse and the reality of hell.

Prayer is the tool that brings us together with the plans and purposes of God in the earth. In Jesus ministry He prayed daily and had such noticeable resuts that the disciples asked Him to teach them to pray. Sometimes we feel unworthy to ask God for anything for us because we think God won't answer on the basis of our failures and sins. But the bible teaches us that we are to come boldly before the throne of Grace. Be bold because of the cross of Jesus and the Love of the Father. Be thankful for the life He has purchased for you and ask for great things. You can't divide God up into the parts you feel comfortable in using. He is your hope, salvation, provider, strength giver, satisfier, healer, and the list goes on and on. Be bold and ask for power in your life to glorify Him with. Ask to be debt free. Ask to have an impact so great in the earth for God that the whole earth is changed because you were BOLD!

I have heard it said that our lives are the sum of all the decisions that we have made whether good or bad. We have been given the opportunity to choose this day truth or follow what we feel is right. The word says that there is a way that seems right to a man but in the end it is death. The only way to ensure a life is in the center of the inside of the middle of the will of God is to be led by His Holy Spirit. He chose you even when you were a sinner so that you could live forever with Him. Make a choice today to be led by Holy Spirit, to make decisions based on biblical truth and not by your feelings or by our selfish hedonistic society. What would the sum of a life like that add up to?

Today I was pondering about the amount of snow that was covering the US - even in places that don't normally receive snow. The Word says that God will show us first in the natural and then in the spiritual. So I asked the Lord what about all this snow? And what about all the cities that are running out of money to clear roads and the snow plows can't keep up with it.

He said,"Look, it's white. It's everywhere and all around you. In places you wouldn't expect. My harvest is coming. The fields will be white covering the earth - even places that you wouldn't expect. The Church isn't ready. They don't have the resources - financially or naturally to handle what's coming. The laborers won't be able to keep up with it all. Get laborers and prepare them. Churches need to be ready. The harvest is coming!"

Arise Church! Time is short! The harvest is coming! Get ready!

Today read Isaiah 53 and decide that forever you will not receive anything that Jesus redeemed you from and already paid for on the cross . I bet you will find things in there that you have already received. IF Jesus paid for it and redeemed you from it then why would you want It? Live whole and full of joy.

The Word says that those who put their trust in the Lord will not be disappointed. I think we have made disappointment something that we have learned to live with- a familiar friend that comes when dispair or dismay are near. If the Word says I won't be disappointed then I refuse to let that devil of dispair and disappointment come to me. It often helps me to read the Word backwards to apply its truth to my life. When I am disappointed I look to see where I have put my trust. There is only One who never, never, never, ever fails and He is God All Mighty. His name is Faithful and True. Hallelujah! We will still have trouble, but Jesus has overcome the world for us so that we can in all times and in all things give thanks and rejoice in Him.

Jesus only did what He saw His Father doing, He only said what He heard His Father say. In John 17 Jesus prayed for us that we would live in a way that would show the world that the Father sent Jesus to the earth for us. When you practice being in the presence of God in your prayer time as well as thru out the day you will learn to see our Fathers work and hear His voice. Then you will glorify our Father in heaven Just Like Him.

God is holy. He said we should be holy like Him. He gives us the ability thru the indwelling of the Spirit and the teaching of the word to become holy. Salvation is a free gift, much of the rest of our walk with the Lord costs us something. It takes work, comitment, time spent with Him, giving up what we want in order to see what God wants comes to pass. This year, be holy as He is Holy. Then our lives will give Him Glory!

Jesus said we would ask the Father in His name and we would reciece anything or whatsoever we ask. Praying in Jesus name is much more than just using His name as the password or the period at the end of our prayer sentence. When we pray in that name, it is more than knowing that what He did for us on the cross is represented in our asking. Praying in that name means that we are "in" Him and He is "in" us all day, everyday of our lives. When we are in Him we obey His word, love what He loves and hate what He hates. When you pray "in" that name you will ask and recieve and your joy will be full. You can do it!

The measure of our lives is not other people or our past experience alone. The true measure of whether or not we are living right is the word of God. Jesus said the word would judge us not Him. The word says if we know Him we would do great exploits. How do you measue up? Keep the pursuit of knowing Him more and more as the top priority of your prayers, stay in His presence. You learn to know someone by spending time with them.

The Lord showed me during prayer this morning that our lives are not linear. Or they do not look like a straight line between two dots. Rather they are like a man walking down the street of a town or city. The man walked in the street, on the curb, on the sidewalk no real easy pattern to follow. At each stop or change in direction there was a person. I want to encourage you to make hearing and obeying the voice of the Holy Spirit your goal. Even seemingly small obedience is important. Remember, the trail of our lives is not mundane or ordinary. It goes where ever the need to connect the supply of God to suffering people leads it. Your life may seem disjointed or unimportant, but that may be because you are comparing it to the way the world lives. They follow the way of self and making sure the needs of self are met. It is a linear life, a dot of me connected with a line of meeting my needs connected to a dot of eternity without God.

You were created for signs, wonders and miracles! It's time for what we read in His Holy Word to manifest in the everyday lives of the Church for the sake of the cross and of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's demonstrate the Gospel together. The world will see it and know Jesus was sent to the earth! Let the earth rejoice!
