Encouragement for the Day

Did you know that Jesus prayed for you? Yes He did, and I remind myself of this fact often. And if Jesus prayed for me, I can make it as a Christian.

Read the Gospel of John, chapter 17; it quotes Jesus’ prayer for you and me:

Allow them (believers) to have the joy that I have, vs. 13

Keep them safe in this world, vs. 15

Sanctify them with the word of truth, vs. 17

Send them as ministers to the world, vs.18

Let them be ‘one’ as We are one (the Father and the Son), vs. 21

Give them My glory, vs. 22

Make them perfect in Me, vs. 23

Let them be with Me & see Me, vs. 24

Love them as You love Me, vs. 26

These are power prayerful statements which Christ prayed/spoke over me and other believers. He saw me through the Spirit over 2000 years ago. Christ knew me, He saw me, He prayed for me—I am who I am because of Him.

Christ prayed for me, and I remind God of this fact often everyday. So I say & pray, "God, Christ prayed for me, let those prayers come to pass—all His prayers for me—today."

The ‘F’ Words of the Bible

#1 in the 3 Part Series,’Talking about sin’

So often a Christian thinks that it is their sin that is holding them back, but this is not always the case. Jesus was critical of His disciples for so many other flaws in their character—sin did not seem to come up often.

We need to keep sin in God’s perspective—It is forgiven! When we see our sin outside of what took place on Calvary then we open up ourselves to self-inflicting hurt and discouragement by allowing so many destructive character traits to rule in our lives.

When un-forgiveness reigns in our lives we become judgmental (a quality Jesus was always addressing in the Gospels) and unproductive by not doing ‘good works’. When we think we are so bad, “How could God love us; how could He forgive us?” we cannot respond to what the Holy Spirit wants to do in our lives.

God wants us to enter into the ‘forgiveness process’, the ‘making everything right process’ and the ‘drop the hammer on what Satan has done to us process’. We will not do this if we think ‘all is our fault’ or ‘there is not much God can do’ to change who we are.

Jesus had to affirm His love and forgiveness to Peter have His resurrection. Peter was considering giving up but Jesus said, “I have prayed for your Peter that your faith would not fail you.” It was Peter’s lack of faith not his sin (the denial of Christ) that was Christ’s concern.

Once again, it is our faith, or lack of, that God is addressing in our lives. When we give up, when we do not respond to God, when we do not act upon what God wants from us—this is the greater fault in our lives—not our sin.

God will not remember our sins when we find forgiveness from them, but God is going to judge us (White Throne Judgment) based on what we did or did not do with Him and for Him. Let’s be righteous by doing works of ‘faith and forget’, and I do say forget, about what God has forgiven.

Thoughtful ‘saying’ for the Day

Begin your day with the phrase: Jesus is my friend. It will not only strength you but when you say this outloud make sure you do so with the purpose that God to hear you, evil to hear you, and the world to hear you.

We cannot overcome the world’s plans and purposes, and all the evil within this world without Jesus. It is His friendship and power that changes everything.

So begin today and everyday with, Jesus is my friend! He’s my friend and He is bigger than anything I will encounter today.

He Is Not Here

Luke 24: 1-8: Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulcher, bringing the spices, which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. 3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why seek you the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spoke to you when he was yet in Galilee, 7 Saying, ‘The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again’.” 8 And they remembered his words.

He is risen indeed!

Have a wonderful Easter Sunday…Steve

Your New Path is Forming!

A prophetic word by Chuck D. Pierce

This prophetic word was sent to me and I believe it is correct and prudent for all believers to consider and implement. This year is important for the church to get ready for what is ahead for us all. There are been so many changes and insights given to us by the Holy Spirit not to take this year seriously. It is not just another year in our walk with the Lord. It is important that ‘we hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church’. Chuck believes this week is the beginning for many in the church.

This is just a portion of Chuck’s message; you can read more by going to his website.

This is our week to PASSOVER! On Palm Sunday morning we saw an outpouring of revelation. In this week of new beginnings, the Spirit of God is declaring, "Your New Path is forming!" Don’t resist the stops He inserts in your week to set you in His perfect timing. Be sure to read below a portion of Sunday’s prophetic release that will help you come out on the waters and cause your faith to arise!

Come Out! Faith Will Rise! Key Prophecy for the Week Ahead!

"This is the beginning of a new week. You are going to make amazing progress and be propelled ahead because this is the time that you will start moving in My faith. You will start moving in My faith – don’t get your eyes on your own faith! This is where your faith and the fear of Me will mix. You will uncover secrets. As you release faith and begin to worship, you will begin to see secrets uncovered.

"For there have been many of My people who have been found within the boundaries of their own borders. You are coming with the sound of your own roar, but I am coming from outside your borders to release a roar that will encapsulate you and transform you into the sound of My image. I’m going to lead you in a direction that you’re not used to going. For you have determined to go on one path, but a new path is forming. I will put key stops in your path that set you in My perfect timing. Be sure to heed the stops in the week ahead.

"If you will be in My timing I will give you an unusual positioning in your life. From that positioning, I will surprise you with My roar. You think the roar is coming through you, but I’m going to surprise you how I show up and display Myself to you! So move in a different way, as I am structuring you. The roar you need to cause the enemy around you to disperse will come forth and will cause all of those around you to see that I am favoring you. I will surprise you with the display of who I AM.

A Week of Settlement!

"This is My week that I am bringing settlements to those things that concern you. Come up here, and begin to prophesy that those settlements are coming out of the very highest Heaven, down through the enemy’s second Heaven and into the Earth realm! Reach out and you bring that in this week!

"This is a week when I settled things with the gods of Egypt. This is a week when it was finally over, said and done! I emerged as the One who sits as Judge over all the gods of Egypt! Let Me judge and pronounce My settlements, settle issues, and release the final word over the things that have been contending with you. This is a week of the final settlement!

Break Forth in a New Way!

"If you will rise up and worship Me then you will spot the needle in the haystack that you’ve been looking for. The needle is there and you’ll never find it from the place that you’re searching. But if you will come up you will see the needle. And not only will you see the needle, but you will see the garment that I’m going to make for you to put on.

"I am sending some revelation that is going to cause your head to shake. You are thinking in one way, but I’m about to shake up some things so you will think in a different way. Don’t try to put a false covering that you’ve been under back on top of that which I am messing up for you! If you choose the false covering, you will end up vainly searching for power and not listening to what I have to say that would cause power to come in and empower you! Let Me mess you up so a new glory emanates from you. Don’t try to cover over the ‘new’ that I am causing to cover you!

I Am the God Who Wins the War!

"Do not fear the circumstances around you. In the war you are in, I am the God that wins the war! The enemy is powerless against My Spirit. I am not waiting for the world to release their voice. I am looking to My Church to rise up and be the Church I created her to be. Let the voice of the Lord come forth and I shall silence the voice of the enemy.

"Those who have Kingdom ears will hear this sound and echo back My sound! This is going be a stormy week. Get ready, for I am clearing out the static that’s keeping you from being connected into what you need to hear and say."

Blessings,

‘Painting’ Your Robe White

“The works of the Lord” Psalm 111

I do not like to paint much. I do it because I have too. As we all know, wood needs protection from the elements. This is why there are Ace Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, in fact, I like those stores—they are my favorite shopping places.

The Lord does painting also, not just in His creation but how He works in the lives of His people. God only uses the ‘painting process’ with the color of red to change everything to white. Revelations 7:14b says, “…they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Yes, God is into color, but His final color is white and His primer color is red.

I have to paint the fencing on my ranch all the time. It gets worn, dirty, and stained. Just like our robes—they get dirty and stained. In tribulation our robes become worn and discolored, but it is in the tribulation that we make them white—“These are they which came out of great tribulation” Rev. 7:14a.

To get the fencing ready for paint you have to scrape, sand, and chip away at all old paint, stains and ruined wood. I often have to paint with primer first before the white paint—it is a process I do not like but must be done.

God does the same with me. Jesus loves me so much He works away at the wood in my life preparing me for His white paint. It was His giving away of His life—the loss of His blood that makes it all possible. The impossible became possible, through His blood, making me white. It cost Him everything in this life so I could have part of His life forever.

I am washing my robe in the tribulation of this life—just like Christ. And, it is in my tribulation that I find myself needing God’s red stain in and through my life. His red paint makes me ready to become white. I accept, no I desire, God’s painting process—I scrub and wash my dirt and stained robe making it white in the blood of Christ. This is the work of the Lord and it is marvelous in our eyes.

What’s Missing?

“The fruit of the Spirit is…” Ephesians 5:9

It is sad to know that things are getting worse on the earth. We hear of doom and destruction in almost every media broadcast. I understand that in the last days two scenarios will take place—God’s great grace will be poured out upon all who live on this planet, as well as, God’s judgment and Satan performing his works of deception.

I was told by pastors of long ago that lived through WW1 and WW2 that significant changes happened throughout the world during both wars. In WW1 a Spirit of Love left the earth. They stated that before WW1 people could love and forgive more easily but after the war people could not feel nor depend on a spirit of Love (a fruit of love) from the Holy Spirit to help and guide them.

During and after WW2 a spirit of Peace (fruit of peace from the Holy Spirit) was no longer noticeable in the earth. We all know that since WW2 the world has not been at peace. There has always been wars taking place somewhere in the world. It is as if God took His Spirit of Peace from the earth.

The United Nations was created after WW1 but it has not deterred wars. In fact, wars have become more frequent and intense since WW1. It is God alone who controls the fate of man and regulates what takes place on the earth. Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled as we live. God is not mocked nor is His Word, the Bible.

I have noticed more and more that another Scripture is being fulfilled, “The love of many shall grow cold.” I notice and feel the absence of love in my daily activities with fellow men. People who once showed love demonstrate less love. People are more concerned with themselves rather than how to care for and show kindness to others.

The media through advertising tries to convince people to offer kindness and random acts or kindness to others/strangers, but it is not working. The world is not getting better, but rather hate not love seems to be the primary focus of our generation.

We are missing the Fruit of the Spirit in our daily activities, Galatians 5: 22-23: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.” We must teach ourselves, our children, and others that the only way for kindness to be manifested in our generation is through Jesus Christ and the operation and manifestation of the Fruit of the Spirit.

Where Are You Church?

Becoming salt: Matthew 5:13-16

I am sure you have heard about the tragedy in San Bernardino, CA. A special needs teacher and an 8-year-old boy were shot and killed in a murder-suicide at a Southern California elementary school on Monday.

53-year-old Cedric Anderson walked into North Park Elementary School and opened fire on his wife, Karen Elaine Smith before taking his own life. He also killed 8-year-old Jonathan Martinez, who died after being taken to a local hospital. What a tragic series of events and such senseless killings!

Church where are you? There will be a funeral for Jonathan Martinez shortly. I hope that all those who profess Jesus Christ will pray for the boy’s family and show support to the Martinez family. But I want you to do more!

I want a miracle! Yes, I want Christ to raise Jonathan from this tragedy and the Lord to bring him back to his family. We need miracles! We need to ask God for “raising from the dead” as Jesus promised and God speaks about in His Word.

We need Christians to believe, pray, obey God’s command and be willing to see God’s promise of life in this lifetime for Jonathan. It is time not to ask why or how God will give Jonathan back to his family but merely for the Church to try.

God’s church in San Bernardino needs to take God at His word. I know God’s grace is sufficient no matter what God decides to do, but we need to begin to ask God for the impossible. We need to ask God to fulfill His promises and destroying the works of the Devil.

Are you willing to ask God for more? Are you willing to come face to face with the works of the Devil and say, “Not today, not on my watch!”? Are you willing to bring the truth of Christ to a hurting and broken family? Yes, what would Jesus do? What would He want you to do?

I Had a Dream

“…your old men shall dream dreams” Acts 2:17

I do not know about you but I dream. Always have and hopefully always will. The Bible says, “…your old men shall dream dreams.” I guess I fall into that category since I am no longer young but have reached the golden years or should I say the ‘graying years’.

About a week ago I dreamt that I was in a large metropolitan city, downtown, among the ‘sky-scrappers’. All of a sudden there were waves, waves so large that the waves dwarfed the buildings. The waves picked up the buildings, moving them off their foundations, and the structures began to float upright along as the waves pushed them.

I saw no loss of life but it was beyond imagination as to the strength and magnitude of the waves sweeping through the city. Dreams are from God, at least the good ones that foretell the future by the Spirit of Grace that lives within us.

I spoke over a year ago as to a ‘revival coming to America’. It would be alike a wave flowing from the east to the west. I wrote about what God spoke to me then and He has given me another sign (a dream) as to the coming ‘moving of the Holy Spirit’.

Many times I wait till God sends confirmation, a witness, and a second sign that confirms what the Spirit is saying to me. Well, I have the sign not only in my recent dream but also what God has said to my fellow prophets.

Joe-Joe Dawson from Texas said this recently, “Early one morning, as I was praying, I saw a huge tidal wave crashing over the people of God. As I saw this tidal wave in the spirit, I knew that it was made up all of the prayers, promises, and prophetic words from past seasons. The Lord spoke clearly to me that many promises and prophetic words that has been given in past seasons, will come to pass in this next season.”

"The Lord’s been looking for a glory company of people to rise up and begin to strike the ground once again and begin working those wonders among the people and begin moving in this new movement of God’s glory once again… to bring on the restoration and voice of healing in the United States," spoken by Stephen Powell.

All of this is true plus many more testimonies about the Glory of God moving throughout America as a wave flowing from the eastern coast to the west coast. It is about to take place. It is time, for all of us to rejoice—to shout for joy, for the Coming of the Lord! Do not let the lessons of Jericho pass you by. Be strong, be courageous, be faithful—the Lord has spoken and He has come to us. What He has promised He will fulfill.

It’s a Heart Condition?

A prophetic & theological word from Otis & Sue Davis

"When an evilspirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation." Matthew 12:43-45 NIV

He revealed their hearts. We must connect these verses with Matthew 12:24-29. But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "It is only by Beelzebub,the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons." Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? And if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. "Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can rob his house. Satan’s "house" is the body of the person who is possessed by the demon.

It appears that the demons are restless and seek bodies in which to reside as shown in Matthew 8:28-31. When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. "What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?" Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. The demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."

When the demon left, this man’s life was changed for the better, but his life was still empty. When the demon returned, he brought others with him, and the man’s life ended in tragedy.

The primary application is to the nation of Israel, especially that generation present when Jesus ministered on earth. The nation had been purged of the demon of idolatry, which had plagued them in the Old Testament. But reformation was not enough. Reformation could cleanse, but it could not fill. The nation should have received the Savior and been filled with spiritual life. Instead, the people rejected Him and the end was destruction.

There is a Personal application. It is not enough to clean house; we must also invite in the right tenant. The Pharisees were proud of their "clean houses," but their hearts were empty!Mere religion, denomination, or reformation, will not save. There must be regeneration, the receiving of Christ into the heart as seen in Revelation 3:19-22. Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

We cannot be neutral about Jesus Christ; he knows the truth of the heart. (The Bible Exposition Commentary) A clean empty heart will be filled by the Holy or the un-Holy. Guard your Heart above all else for it is the source of life. Proverbs 4.23 hcsb A heart filled with selfish pride will not hear and be open to the Holy Spirit. Remember This! Whoever does NOT receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will NEVER enter it. Luke 18.17 gnb (Written by Otis and Sue Davis)
