UPROOTED

TODAY I WENT TO THE DENTIST TO HAVE TWO WISDOM TEETH PULLED. EARLIER THIS WEEK I HAD MULTIPLE PANIC ATTACKS. GOD TOLD TO ME TO KEEP MY DENTAL APPOINTMENT, WHICH WAS LIKE HIM SAYING DON'T BE DISTRACTED. I WENT AND THE DENTIST HAD A HARD TIME GETTING ONE OF THE TEETH OUT. WHEN THEY SHOWED IT TO ME I WAS LIKE" ISN'T THAT KIND OF BIG?" THE ASSISTANT RESPONDED "YEAH IT'S ABNORMALLY BIG". I THOUGHT OF THE PARALLEL IN THE SPIRIT; HOW THINGS THAT NEED TO GO TRY TO PLANT THEIR ROOTS DEEPER. I DECREE AND DECLARE THAT EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE AND YOURS THAT HAS PLANTED ITSELF AND IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE THERE WILL BE UPROOTED! EVERY SICKNESS...UPROOTED, EVERY UNGODLY RELATIONSHIP... UPROOTED, EVERY TACTIC THAT THE ENEMY HAS TRIED TO USE AGAINST US...UPROOTED IN THE NAME OF JESUS  AND THE SPACE OCCUPIED BY GOD'S LOVE!

MATTHEW 15:13
But he answered and said , Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted , shall be rooted up .

 

Ephesians 3:17 KJV

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Bend It Till It Breaks

Today as I was thinking on some things that I have been waiting to be released; God told me to bend it till it breaks. So often we as believers pray and then stop. Sometimes we have to keep dealing blows through prayer in order to win the battle. I talked to my cousin and told her what I felt God was revealing to me and she said that she had been thinking on something very similar today; on how she will get close to the finish and then walk away. At various times in my life I just got so tired of always fighting but after being through all the hell I have been through I refuse to give up now; I'm going to get all that God has for me.

Isaiah 58   
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen ? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward .  
9 Then shalt thou call , and the LORD shall answer ; thou shalt cry , and he shall say , Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.  
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called , The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in .  

ISAIAH 56

1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come , and my righteousness to be revealed .
2Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak , saying , The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say , Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off .
   6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people

DELIVERANCE IS NIGH; HOLD FAST, STICK TO GOD'S INSTRUCTION

MY PASTOR DISCUSSED THE DEAD PIGS FOUND IN THE WATER IN CHINA. IT WAS THE FIRST I HAD HEARD OF IT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE SAID IT I WAS REMINDED OF MATTHEW EIGHT WHEN THE DEMONS IN TWO MEN ASKED IF JESUS WOULD LET THEM GO INTO A HERD OF SWINE AND THE SWINE WENT INTO THE WATER AND DROWNED. I FEEL THAT WE ARE FAST APPROACHING A TIME OF DELIVERANCE AND WHEN GOD DELIVERS US THIS TIME IT WILL BE THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER. IF YOU NEED TO BE DELIVERED FROM SICKNESS, POVERTY, OPPRESSION, WHATEVER! TAKE HOPE IN THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS WELL ABLE AND HE WILL COME AND WILL NOT TARRY. HOLD ON AND BE OBEDIENT TO THE VOICE OF GOD. IF GOD HAS GIVEN YOU INSTRUCTION THEN STICK TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. IN 1 KINGS 13 THERE IS A STORY THAT HAS ALWAYS BOTHERED ME. IT IS ABOUT A PROPHET THAT GOD GAVE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS TO. HE WAS TO DELIVER THE WORD OF GOD AND NOT EAT, OR DRINK, OR GO BACK THE WAY HE CAME. A PROPHET LIED AND SAID THAT AN ANGEL OF THE LORD SPOKE TO HIM AND TOLD HIM THAT THE LORD SAID FOR HIM TO BRING HIM TO HIS HOUSE SO HE COULD EAT AND DRINK. BECAUSE THE PROPHET DISOBEYED GOD A LION KILLED HIM. THE SAME PROPHET THAT LIED TO HIM CAUSING HIM TO BE DISOBEDIENT PROPHESIED THAT HE WOULD MEET HIS DEATH WHILE HE WAS STILL AT THE TABLE (ISN'T THAT SOMETHING!). I HAVE ALWAYS WANDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PROPHET THAT LIED. I GUESS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON IS OBEYING GOD AND WHAT HE SAID NO MATTER HOW CONVINCING THE DISTRACTION.

Luke 4:18 KJV 

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted , to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised ,

Habakkuk 2:3 KJV

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak , and not lie : though it tarry , wait for it; because it will surely come , it will not tarry .

 

Power in Numbers

I went on a prayer walk with a local church this morning. I can't explain how right it felt. We prayed and then walked around a neighborhood praying and singing; it was beautiful. At first I was concerned wandering if it would be awkward because it was not my church but it was so natural. That is how the body of Christ is suppose to be. We are all one body jointly fit. Years ago it was prophesied that I would help unify the area I am from and today I believe that prophesy was pinpoint accurate.At one point we passed someone's house and he shushed his dog and bowed his head as we prayed; one of the pastors asked if they could pray with the man and asked if he knew God afterward, serveral eyes were filled with tears...this is what its all about souls; healing, deliverance!  My spirit rejoiced to see people from different churches flowing together for the work of the kingdom. I am looking forward to more prayer walks, rallies, concerts, Christian sports teams, and so much more. Can you imagine what would happen if the body of Christ would unify?


Ephesians 4
1.I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called ,

2. With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3.Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 .There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5.One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6.One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7.But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8.Wherefore he saith , When he ascended up on high, he led captivitycaptive, and gave gifts unto men
9 .(Now that he ascended , what is itbut that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10.
He that descendedis the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)   
11.And he gavesome, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12.For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13.Till we all comein the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14.That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro , and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness , whereby they lie in wait to deceive
15.But speaking the truth in love, may grow upinto him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16.From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part , make the increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH

TODAY'S MESSAGE IN CHURCH WAS REALLY ON TIME.  I SHARED THAT I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ANXIETY AND SINCE THAT POST, IT HAS GOTTEN A LOT BETTER. I SLEEP AT NIGHT (SOUNDLY) NOW. BUT I STILL HAVE ANXIETY ATTACKS AT TIMES. I KNEW THAT THE ANXIETY WAS A RESULT OF FEAR AND THAT FEAR HAD BEEN THERE SINCE CHILDHOOD. I TALKED TO SOMEONE EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THEY ASKED ME WHERE I THINK IT CAME FROM. I HAD TO BE HONEST AND SAY THAT ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE GOD FOR EVERYONE ELSE SOMETIMES I HAVE ISSUES BELIEVING GOD FOR ME. THE PERSON I SPOKE TO GAVE ME SOME GODLY ADVICE. THEY SAID WHEN I FELT AN ATTACK COMING ON TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT OR QUOTE THE WORD OF GOD; I ALSO WROTE A PROFESSION BASED ON SCRIPTURE. IN CHURCH TODAY THE MESSAGE WAS ABOUT FAITH AND UNBELIEF AND IT WAS SO RELEVANT TO WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH. IT WAS RELEVANT TO THE BODY OF CHRIST PERIOD. IN THIS TIME OF TESTING WE MUST MAKE SURE WE HOLD FAST TO OUR FAITH AND CAST DOWN EVERY THOUGHT THAT EXALTS ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.

2 CORINTHIANS 10
3.For though we walki n the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ

EGYPT IS IN RUINS...KEEP MOVING AHEAD.

I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT THAT I WENT TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE WITH MY CHILDREN AND AS I LOOKED UP AT THE SKY THE CLOUDS WERE ROLLING. I KNEW A STORM WAS COMING AND FAST SO I TOLD MY CHILDREN TO GET DOWN IN THE CAR AND WE GOT AS LOW AS WE COULD. WHEN THE STORM HAD PASSED THE CAR WAS GUTTED; IT WAS JUST A FRAME BUT WE WERE OKAY. I DROVE MY FATHER'S OLD TRUCK TO MY HOME AND THE CHILDREN AND I BEGAN TO GET OUT AND HEAD BACK INTO MY HOUSE. I WOKE UP AND I WAS LIKE LORD WHAT WAS THAT?...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. GOD TOLD ME TO LOOK OVER THE DREAM. MY FATHER'S HOUSE IS WHERE I USED TO LIVE. WHEN I LEFT; I LEFT BECAUSE GOD TOLD ME TO LEAVE AND I LEFT WITH URGENCY. NO MATTER LIFE'S STORMS WE CAN FIND SAFETY IN GOD. IF WE COME BEFORE HIM IN HUMILITY THERE IS NO SAFER PLACE; NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON OUTSIDE. IF GOD DELIVERED YOU FROM SOMETHING DON'T GO BACK TO IT; STAY DELIVERED. THERE ARE SOMETHINGS I STILL WANT, THAT I SHOULDN'T WANT BUT IF IT WILL LEAVE MY LIFE LOOKING LIKE THE AFTERMATH OF A GREAT AND TERRIBLE STORM; I'LL PASS. RESIST TEMPTATION.


I LIKE TO USE SCRIPTURE WHILE BLOGGING. I LOOKED FOR A SCRIPTURE ABOUT STORMS AND I CHOSE THIS ONE BECAUSE GOD LED ME TO READ LEVITICUS 10 THIS MORNING WHICH TALKS ABOUT STRANGE FIRE 

ISAIAH 29

1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt ! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. 4 And thou shalt be brought down , and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away : yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

THIS IS THE GENERATION

This morning I went to the laundromat to wash. All day long I kept smelling  a scent that smelled like freshly washed laundry and I knew it was significant.



PSALM 51

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.<br>
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned , and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest , and be clear when thou judgest . 
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know
wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice .
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee

Ephesians 5:26,27

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish
