“Internet Companionship”

I woke up this morning with a thought in my spirit.  There is a crisis going on that I would like to address.  I have seen to often, time and time again where women, and even women in the church, go online to find companionship.

The problem with this scenerio is that many times these women have children in the home.  This is where I want to send a caution to women in the body of Christ.

As a single woman, and parent, until God unites you to the right mate, you need to be married to Jehovah! I am watching women in the body, not sensitive to the importance of their walk before their children, hooking up with men on the internet.  After only knowing them for a couple of weeks, or a month or so, then inviting them to come and reside in their home.  This is the most foolish mistake that a woman (or man) can make.

Why would you subject your children to this type behavior?  Do you know that the life that you lead before your children is the greatest witness of salvation to your children?  If you will violate their secure environment to bring someone into your dormain that you do not even know, what makes you think that they should trust or believe in the God that you are representing? 

I believe the answer is found in the fact that you are self-absorbed  and selfish that you do not even consider their need for security. 

My sista’s this type of ill responsibility must stop.  You owe your seed more than this!  I beg with you to consider your ways before God, and your children.  What  kind of legacy are you leaving for them to follow? 

If you will lower your standard this low, what hope shall they believe in?  It is now time for us to raise the bar!  You are better than this!  Why are you “settling?”

No, I believe when you know who you are, as well as your value,  you will not be subject to your base nature.  You are too beautiful, too intelligent, and too gifted to function this way. 

Reconsider your decision!  No matter how you have thought it through, and decided it will work, may you hear God’s voice in this matter.  May the fear of God come upon you, and convict and convince you in the wisdom of God. 

Most importantly, make the right decision for your children.  They deserve so much more. 

They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as an eagle……..

So for all of you that are “desperate” out there, wait I say on the Lord!  He has so much more for you.

“The Authority the Prophetic Word Releases!”

This morning at 10:00am, in corporate prayer, the body gathered as it is our custom to.  As we began with thanksgiving and the offering of praise to our God, we listened attentively for His direction.  Each person was sensitive to pray exactly what the desires of the Father were.

Let me back up for a moment.  Before prayer begin, the prayer leader Minister Dan J. ask us if we had any comment on how powerful the Spirit of God had moved the previous Sunday morning during Worship services.

Different ones began to comment. One comment that was notated from one of our Elders, Adalina C. was that God had moved us into a higher dimension.   My comment was that several key things had led up to this encounter with God.

First, my husband, Apostle Al had preached a message to the body a couple of Sundays ago.  In his delivery he stated that it is time for the body to begin to pray about the problem instead of complaining.  He said “I need some people that will meet me here at the altar and pray to see the breakthrough and the turnaround that we need as a body.  That was the 1st key: a call of response from the body. He also shared the Acts of the Apostles were able to be done because the people had some things in common.  They were:

• prayers
• breaking of bread
• fellowship
• unity/love

2nd key was: The people had an ear to hear what the man of God was speaking under the unction of the Holy Ghost.  How do we know? The following Saturday the prayer warriors increased, and God begin to speak and release specific keys about our city, concerning “homeland security.”  As a result of the obedience and intercession, Sunday morning became a stage set for the release of God’s Glory.  Also, prior to that in intercession God had spoken about a time of worship.

As we reflected, I noted that “obedience and submission” to God’s leading was paramount. Elder Adalina stated that when she was in medical school in Spain, the students had a reverence for authority and the instructors.  She stated that the students would say, thank you your excellency.  She said in the West, we don’t address those pouring out knowledge to us in this manner.  Therefore, there is a lost of respect for authority.

Getting back to intercession this morning. I picked up on that thought about insubordination and began to repent for every segment of society, where we have dishonored authority. In government, schools, churches, and even the family.

Then the Holy Spirit switched the topic on me.  I began to pray against every word curse people had released over their lives. Some of it was out of frustration, some anger.

Then the Lord said, “There are many prophetic words that have been released over peoples lives, and they have allowed those words to fall to the ground. Because of refusal to rise up and respond to God’s word over their lives, they are living in the fraility of  their lives.  The prophetic word that has been spoken to them had the Power within it, to release them into a level of greatness that they could not acheive themselves otherwise.  It would cause them to ascend up into the great dimensions that I have called them to. Yet they would not heed my Word to them.  As Jeremiah, and Daniel rose up and saw in the Word of God that there were Promises that the people of God had not possessed yet, they stood before God and cried out with the burden of the Lord.  They rose up and compelled the people to ascend and retrieve the Promises that God had made to them.  The Prophets of God defined ‘what” God had said, and to “whom” God had said it. And “what” time in the Spirit realm it was then, and “what” they needed to do “now”. They then were able to retreive and revitalize that Promise, because they could position the people to obtain it.”  Romans 8, talks about praying with moanings and groanings which can not be uttered.  At that moment the moanings came. As I wept, feeling the very heart of God for His people.  I saw the authority in the prophetic word.

God said there are things that they are able to accomplish when a prophetic word is released that they would not otherwise be able to. God said that there  is power in the prophetic word.

Right about that moment Minister J came up, to testify that she was about to sign the contract on real estate on April 15th for her new counseling ministry.  She stated that I had given her a prophetic word at least 4 or 5 years ago, that she would open up a counseling office in Spokane, and be the first African American woman to do so in our city. I again gave that word of the Lord to her later in that same year.

She was offered many positions that pay 50-85k, yet because she knew the will of God was here in Spokane, she turned them down.  She has now given birth to the prophetic word that was spoken over her. You see, it had within it the innate Power to unlock and release a Divine purpose of heaven that God had designed for specifically for her life.

Oh, how many of you have received a prophetic word from a true Prophet of God, but you have not waged warfare with it yet?  Paul told Timothy, that thou mayest stir up the gifts, that was given through the laying on of hands and prophecy.

The prophetic word has “within” it the “Divine” ability to move in a dimension that was unknown to you, or that was locked up and unrevealed.  But once God displays it through the release of the word over you, it means you “now” have the capacity to accomplish it if you believe it.  The winds of the Spirit are released when the Prophet opens their mouth by the word of the Lord to decree it.

You must now rise up and search out and find what the word of the Lord is that “has been” (past tense) spoken over your life. 

Hurry! You must retrieve it!  Do not delay! Retrieve it!  Now set that word in motion by your faith! Come on! Take that word and make warfare over it.   Say it.  Pray it.     Eat it. Meet it.  Embrace faith!  Erase doubt!

I prophesy to you, you will be like Daniel and Jeremiah, and Nehemiah, you will see where God spoke, and you allowed it to pass by you, but you will retrieve it O man of God, O woman of God.  For even now, as you read this, there is a “cry” in your spirit man.  You are feeling the contractions coming on even now.  God is stirring up your spirit man to faith now.  As Nehemiah had a burden for the torn down walls, you will have a burden for the condition that you see, because the prophetic movement and activation that you do, will bring an answer and a resolve to something that is very, very needed.

You will now sense the exact timing for God to release something great in your life!

Amen!

You must get this. Why? Because there is a word of the Lord that is full of demonstration and power waiting to “exhale” from you.

When God decrees a thing through His Prophets, you can count it as done.

“Transfer of Wealth to the Body of Christ”

In 6am prayer this morning, I had a fresh revelation of a Promise that God has given to the body of Christ.

As I begin to pray the words, “”this year 2008 will be the year of the transferring of wealth.” But it wasn’t just anyone.  God prompted me in my spirit, that it was for those people out there who have been “faithfully” standing on God’s word. You have been contending with God about a matter.  You have been praying, standing, listening, waiting.  You have been agonizing in your spirit.  You have prayed and asked God about the matter over and over again.  Yet, it seemed like their was no answer concerning what you were asking Him.  

You have had your vision laid out.  You have aligned things to the best of your ability with what Heaven wants to do.  You have stood emphatically decreeing the “word of the Lord” over it.  Yet it seems like nothing would move in the Spirit realm.

For some of you your “spiritual back” has been pushed all the way up against the wall!! You are so far into your “labor” over this matter, that it appears there is no where to turn.  You have felt around in the “dark” of this thing, reaching and grabbing for anything that could shed light on “why” there has been no turning point in this matter.

In fact, you are exactly where I am/was at your wits end about the matter. You have contended with God.  What do I mean by this?

See in January, God took me to the book of Genesis, and had me to review the life of Abraham.  What specifically was He trying to show me?  Well, what I perceived was that God wanted me to look at Abraham.  Not just look at him.  But watch very, very closely.

Not how God dealt with Abraham, but how Abraham dealt with God!! My God! There is the revelation!

Abraham was so bold in his interaction with his God.  There was a time when God approached Abram and took him out into the Spirit realm, and began to dialogue with him about the Covenant that He was making with him. 

But what I noticed was, as God was talking to Abram, he heard what God was Promising him in the Covenant, but for Abram those Promises didnt carry much weight to him at that very moment, because one of the greatest desires of his heart was to have an heir.

So as God was talking to him, Abram stopped and took control of the conversation by the interjection that he made. Was he being disrespectful to God? No, not at all, that was not his intention. But God also knew that that was not Abrams intention.

I believe Abram made eye contact with God, with those loving, concerned, and sincere eyes.  He said, “But what will you give me seeing I go childless, and their is no heir to my inheritance, except that Eleazer of Damascus?

What a profound question to ask God, while He is talking to you and telling you how He is gonna bless you.

You see God’s greatest desire to bless Abram, was not Abrams greatest desire. Oh no, Abram’s greatest desire  was that he and Sarai had been wanting and asking for was a son.

And God took Abrams desire and ”elevated” it, and the time that it would happen.  Just because God had heard Abrams desire.

He told Abram about this time next year he would have a son.

Now let us get back to the theme of this writing, which is transfer of wealth.

Many of you, like me have big dreams in your heart to do something great.  They have become burning passions that are burning flames that have risen up over and above even your head.  The flames of passion are consuming you.  It is mixed with the cry of travail that goes along with it.  The longings and the anticipation of it coming into existence is heavy on your spirit.

What God reminded me about Abram was that, what Abram was asking God for was purely for his own desire.  And God showed me that if He could answer a heartcry of Abram, that was purely beneficial to him along, how much the more would He desire to bless our passions that are to bless others and make life more meaningful for them.

So as I prayed this morning, the Spirit led me to begin to speak out of my mouth in prayer that now, this year, was the time for our “transfer of wealth” at Solid Rock Christian Center. With conviction in my spirit, I could pray by the leading of the Lord that this year is SRCC’s year for the transferring of wealth to our church. 

God led me to pray, that we have stood, and been faithful stewards over what He has placed in our hands. We have faithfully administered the finances that He has appointed under our care, to the total upbuilding of His Kingdom thus far.  So that is when out of my spirit God confirmed to me that the transferring of wealth would be to the faithful ones that has operated in Biblical stewardship with what He has placed in their hands.

So for all of you that have the characteristics listed above, get ready for the floodgates to open wide.  Get ready for the enlarging of your territory.  Prepare yourself for the increasing of your means of operations.

 In 2008 look for the ways that God is setting before you for the increase.  Expect it. Receive it.  It is yours.
