Psalm 91 Prayer

Father God, thank You that [put your name, your family name, ministry or business here], dwells in Your secret place—the secret place of the Most High—and abides under the shadow of the Almighty.

In boldness, we decree that You are our refuge and our fortress, Our God, in You we will trust.

We trust you as [see the names of God list and insert here those names here].

Surely You deliver us from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. You cover us with Your feathers, and under Your wings we take refuge.

Your truth is our shield and buckler.

We are not afraid of the terror by night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that walks in the darkness, nor the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand. But it shall not come near us.

Only with our eyes shall we look and see the reward of the wicked

Because we have made the Lord who is our refuge even the Most High our dwelling place. No evil shall befall us, and no plague shall come near our dwelling for You have given Your angels charge over us to keep us in all of our ways. In their hands they shall bear us up lest we should dash our foot against a stone.

We shall tread upon the lion and the cobra and the young lion and the serpent we shall trample underfoot.

We have set our love upon You, Father, and therefore You will deliver us. You will set us on high because we have known Your name. We have known You as [see the names of God list and insert those names here].

We shall call upon You and You will answer us. You will be with us in trouble. You will deliver us and honor us. With long life, You will satisfy us and show us Your salvation.

We thank You for this in Yeshua’s Name…

Our Savior. Our Deliverer. Our Mashiach. The Messiah. The Anointed One.

Amen.

Disappointment

Last Thursday, I was reminded of an old song by the Imperials. Do you remember the song, He Didn't Lift Us Up to Let Us Down? It was on the album, Heed the Call from 1979. Over the weekend, it kept coming up in my spirit. God was telling me something to prepare me, long before I knew I needed the encouragement.  

Back in the late '70's, this song was one of the great pieces the Lord used to minister to me in my youth, now He is bringing it to me again.  Pay attention when the Lord shows you pieces like this...He is so intentional and so with us.  Here are some of the words from the song:

He didn't bring us this far to leave us

He didn't teach us to swim to let us drown

He didn't build His home in us to move away

He didn't lift us up to let us down

Thursday was a difficult day for me and then Friday night, was really hard. I had a long an painful conversation with a younger man. The meeting was full of confrontation and accusation.  I listened, tried to minister, repented, and went to bed exhausted.

Saturday came and again, a totally NEW discussion with another young person and more to wade through with the Lord.  

Then Sunday came. Well, I totally wasn't ready for the amount of sadness that hit my heart but that wasn't the end because on Monday we read an email that put the cherry on top.  Day-after-day was set back, discouragement, disappointment and that didn't include the information regarding a close friend's husband's medical lab results regarding a mass in his colon and then the follow-up report on Tuesday from the surgeon and he used the word; cancer. 

Sounds like a lot, right, but that is not the end.  Late last night I read a text from a family member about a close-friends daughter who lost her fight with cancer.  She was under the age of 40 with small children still at home.  I mean, come on friends; life seems to be challenging, right?

So now today. Today I started the day with a word from the Lord.  I really had the word from Him on Sunday, but had been chewing on it for a couple of days. You see, when things happen, I don't just land in the place of what I think, or what I think I know; I really try to stop and let the Lord into the conversation.  So what was the word that was ringing in my soul? Disappointment.  

I kept pressing the Lord, asking, What are you saying, Lord? Then I kept hearing from Him, "He who has an ear, let him hear". These words are found over and over in the bible.  You find them in, Matthew 11:15, Revelation 2:29, Revelation 2:7, and several other places in Revelation.  God is trying to tell us something. John 10:27 says, His sheep hear His voice.  We need to be hearing God, and not even leaning on what others are saying.

Now, this morning I got up with the Lord and looked it up that word,

disappointment.  What does it mean. Here is what I found:

noun 1. sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one's hopes or expectations. 2. a person, event, or thing that causes disappointment.

I did some more research. regarding the emotion of disappointment I read, "as an emotion, researches describe disappointment as a form of sadness - a feeling of loos, an uncomfortable space (or a painful gap) between our expectations and reality. When we believed that there's something we must have to be happy and fulfilled, we can set ourselves up for disappointment."

I wasn't done though, I then found a stronger word for disappointed.  Here is that list, "saddened, upset, let down, disheartened, downhearted, cast down, downcast, depressed, dispirited, discouraged, despondent, dismayed, crestfallen, distressed, chagrined, disenchanted, disillusioned, displeased, discontented, dissatisfied, frustrated, disgruntled." Wow. Ok. There were a couple of words here that hit something deep in me when I read them.  They triggered words from the bible.  The first word was, "cast down", followed by "downcast".  

Upon looking up the word, downcast, I found, 

adjective, 1. (eyes) looking downward 2. feeling despondent.

I then had to open up the bible. The first verse that came to mind was, 2 Corinthians 10:5,

casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and brining into captivity every thought into the obedience of Christ.

You all, we need to repent for living from a place of the world, when we should be living from a place heaven.  We should not be living in mixture.

I then went to, 2 Corinthians 4:9-11, 

persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; always bearing about int he body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

When looking for scriptures about being "downcast" I came across, Psalms 42:5. I read it from The Voice.

"Why am I so overwrought? Why am I so disturbed? Why can't I just hope in God? Despite all my emotions, I will believe and praise the One who save me and is my life."

Then I read on to verse 6, 

"My God, my soul is so traumatized; the only help is remembering You wherever I may be;"

In verse 5 it CLEARLY talks about what we will believe DESPITE all of our emotions.  Then in verse 6 the word says, because our "soul is so traumatized".  See, our pain is real, but it is in our SOUL... our mind, our will, and our emotions.  We, being born-again believers, need to choose to live from our Spirit.  That is where we live from. We choose to crucify our soul. Father, shift me.  I want to live from a place in the Spirit, not my soul, in Jesus' mighty name.  Lord, I repent of being saddened, upset, let down, disheartened, downhearted, cast down, downcast, depressed, dispirited, discouraged, despondent, dismayed, crestfallen, distressed, chagrined, disenchanted, disillusioned, displeased, discontented, dissatisfied, frustrated, disgruntled.

Y'all - when we are discouraged, disappointed, disgruntled, any of these places of being downcast, we need to FIND the Lord.  We fall through all the places we THOUGHT we believed and we land at the feet of Jesus and begin to build there, from what we KNOW we believe.  Make sense?

Here is where I land, my foundation; Father, I know that you are real. I know that you sent your son, Jesus, to die for me. Jesus, I know that you love me. I know that you care for me. I know Father, that you sent your Spirit and that you never leave me or forsake me; you are with me, even to the end of the age. I know that I can trust you, even when I can't see what you are doing. I go through what I believe.  Why do I do this? Because it matters what I believe.  It matters too what YOU believe; because forms your worldview.  We need to start with what God says.  Then we build from there.

For those of you who grew up in a denominational church, you may remember how you would recite the Apostle creeds.  That is what those believers were establishing.  They were putting into their soul, what they believed. We have gotten so far from this foundation.  We need to begin to encounter the Lord again in the places of our foundational beliefs.  There were also two other creeds at the foundation of Christianity. The other two were the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creeds. They are very similar to the Apostle's creed.  

When you are going through a trial; when you are disappointed, you need to KNOW what you believe and you need to tell yourself the truth of that belief; the truth that is found in the Word. See we have to speak to our circumstances because our mind will be telling us all kinds of things to believe when you are discouraged. See, that is why we are disappointed; because we are listening to our minds (our soul - the mind, the will, the emotions) and not listening to what the Holy Spirit is saying.  We have to land in what the Lord says, not our opinions.

Jeremiah 31:3 — I have loved you with an everlasting love; out of faithfulness, I have drawn you close.  We have to remind ourselves of the truth found in the word. 

Psalm 45:1 (Contemporary English Version) — my thoughts are filled with beautiful words for the King, and I will use my voice, as a writer would use pen and ink.  Also read it in the Christian Standard Bible. We write prophesies to the Lord, with our words and we want to land in what God says, not what we think.  This is what Jeremiah was doing.  He was reciting before the Lord.

Zephaniah 3:17 (the Voice) — the Eternal your God is standing right here among you, and He is the champion who will rescue you. He will joyfully celebrate over you; He will rest in His love for you; He will joyfully sing because of you like a new husband.  Think about how happy a new husband is over his new wife.  That is what the Lord feels like about you.  He loves you! He is for you!

II Corinthians 4:8-12 — we are hard-pressed on every side but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned,  struck down, but not destroyed. We are choosing to live from our spirit because we rendered that soul dead.

We Are In A Battle

I am up as it is 1:30AM. I had been asleep and then the Lord woke me to pray so I pray.

I am asking the Lord to heal our land. We have heard people say, “wearing a mask says you care” and now we hear our POTUS and his First Lady have tested positive and I hear the same voices gloating. The depravity, hate, unforgiveness, anger, well just plain evil is running deep in our nation... our “Christian” nation. Father, forgive us!!

I am pressed to the altar of the Lord! While sitting with Him; here is what He said to me after reading this (link)... many who were at the Rose Garden ceremony (announcing the Supreme Court nominee last weekend) are now testing positive for COVID. Kellyanne Conway’s own daughter (posted to social media) a disrespectful post against her mother; releasing this news to the public even before Kellyanne addressed it. Her daughter’s vitriol is symptomatic of the breakdown of many things in our nation! We have lost the ability to choose love! This is more alarming to me than the headline of the outbreak of positive test results. (Higher positives don’t equate to higher deaths - just the opposite in fact!)

Jesus, our nation is in desperate need of the Father’s steady hand. Just a couple of headlines pressed me back into the Father’s presence for clarity and direction! 

As I was praying the Lord dropped 2 Timothy 3:1-5 in my spirit — so I looked it up. Here it is in the New International Version:

1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 

4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

Hmmmm - have NOTHING to do with such people. 

As I began to write this out, I heard the Lord say for me to pray through these verses FOR the people I know who are manifesting this behavior. As I read the list again, I actually was reminded of conversations I personally have had (in the last couple of weeks) where almost every one of these attributes was actively in play by the person I was encountering! Jesus! We need you!

I encourage you to slowly read through these 5 verses and then actively pray for the names of the people you hear as you read the list! God is inviting you to intercede for these people; maybe even your own name!

Here is the list again: There will be terrible times and people will be...

• lovers of themselves
• lovers of money
• boastful
• proud
• abusive
• disobedient to their parents
• ungrateful
• unholy
• without love
• unforgiving
• slanderous
• without self-control
• brutal
• not lovers of the good
• treacherous
• rash
• conceited
• lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
• have a form of godliness but denying its power

        Have NOTHING to do with them.

All these conversations I had were with people who say they are BELIEVERS! I know many of you too have been “butting-up against” this same stuff. What is this? Well, it is stemming from our watered-down beliefs many have renamed Christianity; we have a FORM of godliness... we say we believe... but even the demons can say they believe! Lord, we need a shift!

Y’all, God is calling us to HOLYNESS! Consecration! And even separation from the evil! We can’t have this “mixture” in us!

What does this have to do with the link I shared you may ask? 

Well, today our commander and chief, his wife and several in his closest circles are being attacked! Think of a war scenario; IF the leaders of your army are attacked, there is great danger of the entire army failing! Our leadership in our nation has been attacked and the enemy has breached the walls! WE ARE THE WATCHMAN ON THE WALLS! This has happened right under our noses! It starts with us; with our “effective, fervent prayers” of the saints! We want to see the Lord HEAL OUR LAND but we have more advancement from the enemy... why? Because we have to rid ourselves of the things listed in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and put on James 5:16. Here is James 5:16 (again in the New International Version) —

Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

We have to CONFESS our junk (like the list in 2 Timothy 3:1-5) and THEN our prayers become effective AND powerful! We can’t have both - mixture!

Let’s take some time to look into the mirror (James 1:23-25) and examine ourselves (2 Corinthians 13:5 and 2 Peter 1:10-11)! This plague is taking ground because many (believers) are not engaging in the battle with clean hands and pure hearts (Psalms 24:4). We have pride, arrogance, unforgivesss... we have mixture and we are double-minded, unstable in all our ways (James 1:8)!

Father, forgive us! Show us what is in us that is not of you so we can turn from our wicked ways; and then you will heal our land! 

2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version — If MY people, which are called by MY name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

We need thee, Father! Jesus Come! Maranatha!

Witches Invitation by Carman Licciardello

Back in the day, when I was in my late teens, early twenty's there was a Christian singer named, Carmen.  As far as I know, he only did Christian events after giving his heart to Christ and he is still around today, bringing the love of God to people through music. He has walked with the Lord for years now and has a gift for song-writing/story telling.  

Years ago, an evangelist named Mario Murillo, was doing a chapel service at Oral Robert's University (ORU) and Carman (Licciardello) was also invited to the chapel, doing the worship.  Carmen stayed at the piano when Mario took the pulpit, just be ready if Mario wanted some back-up music so Carman now had a front-seat view to the story Mario was about to tell.  

Mario started his time teaching with a story. He began talking about an invitation he had received from a man while preaching in the campus of the University of California, Berkley (Berkeley).  A man name Isaac Bonewits came up to Mario and began to compare his god (satan) to the God of Mario, Jehovah .

Mario found out later that Bonewits was one of the only people ever to receive an accredited bachelor of arts degree from Berkeley with a major in witchcraft.  Mario goes on to tell of how Bonewits left their meeting by giving him his business card inviting him to come and chat more regarding their "gods".  Mario never responded to this invite, so later, Bonewits actually sent a written invitation to Murillo to continue the conversation. Mario thought he would not go and meet him so he threw the invite in the trash but on the way to the can, the Lord told Mario that he should go and meet with him.  Here is the link to the full story of Mario sharing what happened regarding this invitation on the blog called Encounter Today.

Remember now that Carman was sitting there on the same stage with Mario as Mario is telling the whole story to the ORU students so being the great song-writer he is, he took the event and wrote a song. He named the song, Witches Invitation. Here is the link to the video of Carman at a live event, where he played the video, Witches Invitation.

I remember when this song came out and just loved it. I had no idea then that it was from a real event.  My mom used to listen to Mario Murillo back in the day, but I didn't know the two of them were connected until I came across this testimony by Mario last week.  This song was one of my favorites by Carman and many of the Christians I ran with at the time loved it as well. 

From what Mario says, Carman did change the name of the character from his real name of Bonewits to Horowitz in the song but most of the other details follow perfectly the song to what Mario said happened; all except the closing words about  wanting to "rumble with a man of God".  Amazing!

So true! Our God has bought us with the blood of Jesus and satan has to let us go! Never a more true statement ever spoken!  

This is not about the "new normal" but a "NEW ERA"

The Lord is speaking to me about the times and seasons we are living in. We have all heard many people talk about this lie called the "new normal". Those words just hit something in me, and in pursuing the Lord about it, I felt Him challenge me about what statements like this would look like, if we were sitting around heaven and talking about what is going on. God ALWAYS gives us an upgrade. His latter is always greater. He makes things new. Old things pass away and behold, He makes ALL THINGS NEW. So I began to explore this with the Lord. In doing so, he took me to a couple places in scriptures and He used the wording, a New Era.

Let's dive into Mark 4:1-13, The Parable of the Sower — Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge.

2 He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:

3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.

6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.

8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.”

9 Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

10 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables.

11 He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables

12 so that, “ ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’ ”

13 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?

14 The farmer sows the word.

15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word;

19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.

20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”

The point I want to bring to your attention is what is the "soil" of your life and what does it look like? When treasures of the Kingdom are released unto you, which type of soil is reflective in your life. Jesus spoke this parable and then later on in the evening, the disciples wanted to gain understanding of what He was sharing. Jesus starts with, if you can't understand this parable, you will have a hard time understanding ANY parable. WOW - seems there is something rather important in this text we need to grasp and it is foundational to unlocking the things to come. Jesus goes on to compare PEOPLE with the seed. as soon as people hear the Word that is sown, something starts to happen, just like a seed in the ground. Jesus starts with the seed sown along the path and tells them that this is just like people but rather than the birds of the air stealing the seed, Jesus says it is Satan himself who comes to steal the Word of God from us. The second scenario in the parable is about the seed that fell on the rocky places, where the seed tried to spring up, but because there was no root (or deep soil) the plants spouted but died under the heat of the environment. Jesus said this is like people who hear the Word with joy, but because they are young in the Lord, or not discipled, they have no root and after a short time, when trouble or persecution comes int their life, they fall away.

The third example was the seed that is sown among thorns, these seeds get choked out by the "thorns". These are people who hear the Word but still maintain their worldly ways. They think they are ok being among the thorns. When we come to Christ and new revelation of His ways, that usually requires a shift on our part because we are not like Him. We need to cut off things that are deadly or thought processes that are apart from God. We need to turn. People who don't shift away have mixture, and eventually the things of God get choked out of the lives because of the thorns growing next to them.

Lastly we have the seed that is sown in the GOOD soil. This soil is a teachable heart. This soil is a heart that desires God at all costs. This heart shifts and turns and obeys. When we allow God to have His way in our heart, then we grow and produce good fruit; a fruit that remains. We want to be like the seed that lands in the GOOD SOIL and produces a GREAT, MULTIPLYING harvest. We choose these soils. We have a part to play.

We need the Lord to renew our minds, change our way of thinking. We need to shift from living from our soul (our mind, our will, and our emotions) to living from our Born Again Spirit.

Ephesians 3:19 — ... and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Colossians 2:9-10 — For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, ad in Him, you have been made complete, and His is the head over all rule and authority.

James 1:22-25 — Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it - not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it - they will be blessed in what they do.

What is incredible to me is how God is speaking around the globe pieces of what He is doing. Just this week I read these following two words from two separate Godly women. They speak into this same theme as well. God is moving; even when we can't see Him!

WE NEED PERSONAL DELIVERANCE BEFORE WE CAN GET NATIONAL DELIVERANCE
by Wanda Alger, August 20, 2020

 

We are dealing with major principalities in this nation and across the earth. Religious and political spirits are clogging up the system and binding up the Church with endless rules and protocols that are silencing our witness. The Jezebel spirit is manifesting through politicians and tyrannical leaders given to greed and power, and their witchcraft is fueling increased lawlessness and anarchy. Leviathan is overwhelming our senses with futility, confusion, and a fear of impending doom. These demonic strongholds must come down and displaced by those who carry legitimate authority from heaven.

 

The challenge is that many believers are being oppressed and harassed by these spirits and it is limiting our corporate authority in prayer. Through my own deliverance from these spirits several years ago, I learned just how easy it is for even Spirit-filled believers to get hooked by these ungodly mindsets due to negative experiences and offenses. Once delivered and set free, I saw an immediate upgrade in my intercession and an increase of authority against these powers and principalities.

 

If we want to see the Religious spirit defeated, we have to give up our own sacred cows and methods of ministry. Our revelations from yesterday may need to be adjusted to make room for Holy Spirit to give us an upgrade for today. We must cut the unhealthy soul ties with our past and clear the way for a transforming future.

 

If we want to see Jezebel defeated, we have to repent of the ways we have rebelled against our leaders, especially in the Church. The spirit of rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and as long as believers hold on to offenses against leaders who have done them wrong, we will never have legitimate authority to displace wicked rulers or demonic hordes.

 

If we want to be free of Leviathan's grip that suffocates our witness, confuses our clarity, and robs us of faith, we have to renounce our fears and our need to understand everything. Our trust cannot be in the systems of men or our own human reasoning. Only God reigns supreme and His Kingdom ways are much higher than ours.

 

Yes, we must bind and loose, rebuke and renounce, and take a righteous stand. But, we must also clear out our own closets. We have been given spiritual authority over the works of darkness, but its up to us to remove any roadblocks that prevent us from using it.

And finally, there is this word... IT IS THE LORD CHANGING THE TABLES

by Lana Vawser, August 20, 2020

 Recently I had an encounter with the Lord and I saw Jesus and He was walking up to His people that were sitting at tables and I knew that these tables represented ALIGNMENTS and MODELS. As He walked up to these tables He began to speak to His people and He said "It is time to CHANGE TABLES"

 

Immediately I was surrounded by the sense of the new era we have entered and the importance of drawing close to the Lord and hearing His voice and leading for where we are aligned, how we are aligned, and how we are to build with Him. The sense surrounded me so strongly that the "model" of how things have been done, is rapidly changing. The Lord has been speaking to me for years about the changing of the wineskin and the time that was coming upon us in a new era where we would have to follow Him and know His ways to move into the new thing that He was going to do (Isaiah 43:19) that would be completely unprecedented.

 

Now, in this encounter, what struck me was the weight upon the voice of the Lord when He spoke "It's TIME to change tables". I began to see other tables that were set for the people of God in this new era. New strategies, new ways of doing things, a new 'model', and new 'alignments' with people.

 

This encounter was communicating in SO many ways, the IMPORTANCE of alignment in this hour and be aligned with Jesus in our hearts, our deeds, our actions, our obedience, our lives, our ministries. Every area of our lives to be in total alignment with Him and not to 'remain at a table' because that's where we have always sat or how it has always been.

 

The Lord has had me release this prophetic word to encourage the people of God, to not stay in the comfortable or familiar seat because of fear of what others with think, fear of offending people, fear of the new. The truth is, the tables that the Lord has set before His people in this new era are more glorious than ever before and the Lord showed me that many are feeling a 'heavy oppressive frustration' right now and the 'ease' that once was, is no longer, and that is because it's time to change tables. It's time to take your seat a new table.

 

I heard the Lord say "Don't apologise for changing tables and don't make excuses for having to change tables". When He spoke those words I could feel this very strong sense of the fear of man that would be the hurdle that many would need to overcome in taking their place at the new tables. Follow in the leading of the Holy Spirit into these new tables and embrace them with everything you have.

 

I also saw the beautiful comfort of the Holy Spirit embracing those who are changing tables and coming out of alignment with people they have built with before and moving into new ventures with the Lord and the sadness in the heart that comes with the 'breaking away'. The comfort of the Holy Spirit is upon you and He is pouring His love, peace, and refreshing upon you as you move to the new tables the Lord has for you.

 

I saw Jesus sitting at the new tables and He was waiting for His people to take their seat. As many begun to come and take their seat at the new tables with the Lord, I was struck with the depth of encounter that happened at those tables with the Lord. The encounters looking into the fiery eyes of Jesus that were so deep and so intimate.

 

The new tables await you. Don't be afraid to move to the new tables. It requires obedience, boldness, and courage. Don't stay at the same table because of comfort or fear. You want to be at the table Jesus is sitting at and calling you into, for there you will find Him.

You want to be sitting with Jesus at the table He is calling you to. It's time to take your seat at the new tables.

_________

In closing, the Lord reminded me of Moses as he led the people out of Egypt.  They continually grumbled and wanted to go back to Egypt.  The didn't trust the Lord with the NEW, what was before them, the upgrade.  Let us not be the same as the Israelites.  We too have come through a Passover, and we too are in the desert.  Let us not make a 40 day journey into 40 years! Let us take time to find the Lord in this NEW era!  Hebrews 10:39

Tracy Cooke and the 7 Angels that Visited Him

On August 6, 2020, Tracy Cooke was on Sid Roth's show recently sharing about his recent visit from seven angels!  He talked about the "Glory of God" coming to the earth in the coming days.

Tracy said that the Glory of God will look like a wave, coming over the entire land and everything that the Glory touches it cleans, purifies and then it brings us to the heart of God. It will come to earth and bring us to the heartbeat of God again.

Remember when Jesus said in John 14:12, "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." 

In these end times, we will see a greater outpouring of the Glory of the Lord and in this new move, it is not going to be about the person delivering the miracle; rather, it will be about the Lord getting ALL the glory!  It is for Him. It is about Him.  It is from Him.  Father, we give you all the glory!

In the closing of the video, Sid Roth led out in this prayer.  I felt is was so powerful Ii wanted to rewrite it all here, for you.  There are KEY pieces here that I want to bring your attention too so I wanted you to be able to read it aloud and have it before you; to meditate on daily.  Father, change us!

"Father God, your word says, pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee. In the Hebrew, the word ‘prosper’ means, ‘something money can’t even buy’, it means; ‘heart peace’. So, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem that those watching would have ‘heart peace’ that are in agreement with this prayer.  It’s not an accident, Lord, that the word, ‘Jerusalem’ has ‘USA’ in the center and so I ask those blessings, and that prosperity, that ‘heart peace’ that comes from us that pray according to your word for the peace of Jerusalem to come on those of us in America and other nations that pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  

 

I pray Father God, that those that have not operated in ‘instant’, please hear me, Do you want the glory to come on you and your house?  Those that have not operated in ‘instant repentance’ start. It’s not worried, ‘oh God, did I not sin or not?’ Holy Spirit is inside of you. Holy Spirit will tell you when you need to repent. It’s not a mystery.*  And I pray that the years of those that have viewed this are open for the truth and God says, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Omn (Yiddish for Amen)**, which means, 'so be it.'"

 

Brothers and sisters; I pray for HEART PEACE to be on you, in you and around you.  

If we want our nation to see the Glory of God on us, and on our land, we need to be QUICK to REPENT - instant repentance.  Don't hold on to things.  Allow the Lord to minister to you IN the places you are stuck, broken, angry, holding on to sin. Jesus come! Shalom.

*My thoughts on this: If something is ‘bothering’ you then that is a good indication that you need to engage in a conversation with the Lord to come through that issue. I have found that the best way to start a conversation with the Lord is from the place of repentance. People, we have not been taught to do this.  Many believers think that "I walked an isle and I repented once." They think it is done.  Well, that it is simply not true, beloved.  We need to be encountering the Lord DAILY and bringing our hearts up before Him, for Him to search us and know us like Psalm 139: 23-24 states.

**Just a little bit about this word, 'Amen'.  It derives from a biblical root meaning “faith”, or “trust” — Emuna. It has a wide variety of meanings including; “Let it be”, “Yes”, “May it come to pass”, “Praise the Lord”. All of those things can be expressed with one simple Hebrew word, three letters (in Hebrew), so Amen.

Praying the Blood of Jesus

I have been up with the Lord for a few hours now and during my time with Him, He reminded me, AGAIN, of the importance of the blood - His Son's PRECIOUS Blood. There is POWER in the Blood. We sing about it. We take communion in remembrance of it. We read about it and even on Passover, many understood (in a new way) the importance of "covering" our home (doorposts) with it. If you were like me, you even put a red cloth over your door.

This morning, I just felt pressed in my spirit to share with you all, again, the SIGNIFICANCE of the blood. God was so on this today - as if we are NOT fully engaged in what the BLOOD has provided. He said to me that we need to be praying the blood over ourselves, our family, over our jobs, our finances, our livestock, our property! God was so on this with me, that I even took my husband's hand (at 4 in the morning) and prayed OUT LOUD (quietly - but loud enough for the prince of the air to hear) with him. There was an urgency in it. Keith said "amen" and then went back to sleep - praise God! He has to get up and work. I digress.

The Lord was reminding me that I need to "apply" the blood - daily! Then told me to get up and post here.

For those who don’t know what I mean by this (praying the blood), He told me to share with you how I did it, to walk you through a SIMPLE prayer. Nothing magical (if you know me, I don't do magic) and this is not to become a religious thing (I don't do religion either). God wants you to be creative with your words, fresh with Him. NEW.

(When I typed that word, "fresh" I was reminded of how my heart leaps with my husband sends me "fresh" notes or cards. They are new words but expressing the same regards — that he still is choosing love. They are "fresh" encouragements but they are expressing his earlier committed love for me and to me. This is what God is wanting from us - not a script we recite, but FRESH words, where you pour out your heart to His. He DESIRES you... like a husband and wife should desire one another — an intimate, familiar, dear, treasured, personal, deep, transparent, vulnerable, open, type of love... something that is special just between you and God.)

I am about ENCOUNTERING THE LIVING GOD, personally, so I sit with Him! He wants this from you too, and more importantly, He wants to KNOW YOU!

In Matthew 7 (vs 21-23) Jesus gives us a really good outline of what relationship with Him looks like.

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’

23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Many Christians put a LOT of emphasis on people "knowing" Christ, but my bible puts MORE emphasis on Christ KNOWING us! How does this happen? Through prayer (not just us reading a script).

In John 10:27, again, we hear Jesus saying, "My sheep hear MY voice, and I KNOW THEM, and they follow me."

This is SO comforting! He wants to TALK TO YOU because He desires FELLOWSHIP with you! He wants to TALK TO YOU! Stop and listen... let Him talk. :-D

So, back to the blood and how I apply it (this is a "living" prayer, so there are pieces that change as the Lord highlights things to me). The blood is not just for your body but it is for all that is part of you — everything you would protect, God, wants to protect, and "cover" too because He loves you!

Lord, I cover myself (and everyone around me) with the Blood of Jesus Christ.

I cover all of the members of my family ( state them by name — they don't need to be just those living in your home ) with the Blood of Jesus.

I cover my home and my possessions, my property, my livestock (or pets), my car, my finances, my marriage, my livelihood, my job (or school), and/or my ministry with the Blood of Jesus.

I cover the work of my hands with the Blood of Jesus. Everything I put my hands to will prosper because you are with me and for me.

In the name of Jesus Christ, by the power of His blood, I break off, and/or tear down, every power of the kingdom of darkness formed against me and declare it as canceled.

Every argument in heaven that has established itself against the plans of God in my life, I declare it as canceled.

I confess that my body is a temple of the Holy Ghost; justified, sanctified, perfected, and protected forever by the Blood of Jesus.

I take authority over the plans of satan in my life and reverse, and break every plan, and every tongue that has formed against me, and I declare the Perfect plan of God over my life because I belong to the Lord.

I call forth, in the name of Jesus, all of God’s plans and purposes for my life and my family; for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord. Amen.

Praying for you all! The Lord is WITH US. He is FOR us and He never LEAVES us! I love you all with the love of the Lord!

Out of Shadows - Mike Smith

I want you to know that I am praying for you and that I have been seeking the

Lord over so many things unfolding in our world; big things happening, almost daily. These are amazing days to be alive for sure!

I am really feeling the Lord pressing on me to "release His message of the Kingdom into our lost and dying world". These pages reach the nations, not just my personal friend list, so I come to write here and not just on social media. All that to say, I just feel the Lord is doing something new. We are about to step into a new place in history. In the future, our grandchildren will read about this "transition in time" and so I am writing this down – for the future generations to have access to what was going on in Texas, USA, during the days of the Coronavirus shut-in. Jesus come!

There is a lot of darkness in our world too right now as well. If you haven't put language to the situation (in your own words), we are fighting a very dark, spiritual war – this is more than just a worldwide shutdown. There are powers in play that, I believe, were assigned to take out our nation and fold us into a one-world government. Any of the past presidents we had would have gladly "sold us out"... but not Trump. He is our Cyrus. God has put him in his position of leadership for such a day, a time, and an hour as this. Jesus come!

With that, I have a link I want to share. This "battle" we are fighting is much bigger than just "China" and "Coronavirus" and "Communism" - as if those by themselves are not more than enough to deal with, but this battle is against the government of hell itself; Luciferianism.

To the pure all things are pure (Titus 1:15), so many Christians can't even wrap their brains around the idea of people actually serving our Father's arch-enemy (Lucifer); but, unfortunately, these people who do are “all in”, whole-heartedly, and unashamedly, opposing our Exalted Jehovah God. Father!

Monday a friend shared this movie, Out of Shadows with me and I finally took some time last night to watch it. Have you ever wondered why, whenever you look down the "rabbit hole" you always find the same swamp-dwelling creatures living there? I HIGHLY encourage you to watch this movie about Hollywood, Mainstream Media, our Government, and the CIA. Jesus help us!

Mike Smith (who created this documentary) has worked for the past 28 years in Hollywood as a professional stunt performer, fight and stunt coordinator, and as an executive director, just to name a few of his accomplishments. You have seen him perform if you watched Batman Forever, James Bond movies, or the new Spiderman movies... and he has been in countless other films. He knows and has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. He is the guy doing the "hard" stunts behind those big Hollywood names. He makes them look amazing. He has some interesting things to share in this documentary as he reveals the "illusion" we all have bought into, and it is not just in Hollywood, but in our television shows, entertainment industry, news outlets, and even in our government.

There are some very disturbing clips and information that he will be lifting the mask on and pulling the covers off. Things that are hard to hear, but the depravity of man has yielded to forces that are evil and many of these evils have been Hidden in Plain Sight (yep, just like the movie title said).

THIS WILL BE HARD TO WATCH and you may find yourself talking to yourself saying, "no, this can't be real", but the hard reality is that these atrocities ARE true! We have all watched our nation as it has been dying over the last month. See, God, who sees all, is NOT pleased with what He knows that has been happening and He knows the details of the atrocities, and the names of the people conducting these evils and HE CARES! I saw the Lord "standing up" in a word He gave me when all of this coronavirus stuff started happening a month

ago. I saw Him "standing" and I knew He was getting up to "deal" with something. I wrote about part of what I saw when I shared with you all that the Lord told me not to pray against the "fear" but He told me to "pray that people would encounter Him". I knew in my spirit that verse in Hebrews 10:31 that says, "it is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God." How long can the Lord watch the shedding of innocent blood and the torturous activities that are happening to children, all for the sexual gratification of the elite, and their self-indulgence and pleasure, and all the demonic ritual sacrifices they are participating in? These acts are happening right under our noses. The media have even reported on some of it like Jeffrey Epstein and his Island of torture. Why are we not DEMANDING to know the names of those involved? Why are we

not crying out on the streets to know the truth about these cover-ups and lies? Many Christians are not even voting (look at the statistics). We have become dull and numb and dare I say, asleep in the light? FATHER, FORGIVE US! We have blood on our hands! Jesus, show us what we need to do!! It's time to wake-up, church! There is EVIL among us. Many of these people who are doing these acts against God are in both political parties, they are movie stars that we pay money to watch, they are entertainers that we pay to hear in concerts. I could go on and on. We need to wake-up and get involved. That starts with voting! Vote out the swamp. Get over your political bias. Pick people who are Godly and if there is no one to vote for that is worth voting for, then maybe YOU should run for that office!

Mike Smith (the author) had a wake-up call and began asking the HARD questions on his journey to the truth.

Truth. We say we love Jesus (the way, the TRUTH, and the life) but honestly, people don't like hearing the truth. Believe me. I know. Many times, I am the only one speaking up in a "room full of Christians". SMH. Father, forgive us. Do we really want to know the truth or do we want to "fit in"? Most people don't want to hear or speak the truth, they want to be popular. Things are about to get hotter folks. Jesus! We need you!
