GOD THE BUILDER

I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT THAT I WAS IN MY HOME AND IT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. IT WAS A NICE SIZE HOUSE; I REMEMBER SEEING THE FRAME, THERE WERE A LOT OF DETAILS. I WAS THERE WITH THE PERSON I AM SUPPOSE TO BE WITH...(FUTURE HUSBAND) AND A LADY. WE WERE SITTING ON THE BEAMING OF ONE OF THE FLOORS. A GUY I KNOWCAME AND I MADE UP SOME LAME EXCUSE ABOUT WHY I HAD TO LEAVE AND I LEFT OFF WITH THE GUY THAT I HAD ONCE KNOWN. I THEN SAW THE HOUSE FINISHED AND I WAS WITH MY THEN HUSBAND BUT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT. I HAD CONTAMINATED THE FRAMING. DURING THE BUILDING I DID SOMETHING THAT TAINTED THE HOME. I WOKE UP WITH THAT DREAM PLAYING IN MY MIND. I KNEW IT WAS WARNING BECAUSE WHEN I THINK ABOUT GIVING IN TO TEMPTATION THE GUY IN MY DREAM FROM MY PAST IS WHO I THINK ABOUT. I LOOKED UP THE PROCESS OF BUILDING A HOME; FIRST

THE FOUNDATION
This is one of the most important parts of the construction because it is this foundation the rest of your house will be built upon and it must be done correctly and it must be strong.
SECOND: THE FRAMING

The next phase of the building is the framing. This is the skeleton of your home A house has a skeleton that gives it support, shape, and a framework for outer coverings. This structure is called the frame.To ensure the structure’s strength, these parts are sized and connected in accordance with building codes that are based on basic load engineering principles. It’s important to know which parts are critical to a house’s structure so that you don’t compromise its strength when remodeling or doing work that involves cutting into framing members. For example, if you remove part or all of a load-bearing wall without reinforcing the structure, floors and the roof may sag and windows and doors may stick. Worse, part of the house may collapse.

NEXT: Siding, Roofing, Plumbing and Electric Once the shell is up for the house, the siding and roofing contractors can come in and get to work.

LAST: Interior Walls and Finishing Work

THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN LAID...FINISH THE WORK AND DON'T COMPRIMISE. THE PROMISE IS CLOSE AND IF YOU WANT THE FULLNESS OF WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU DO WHAT IS NECESSARY. BE DISCIPLINED. ABSTAIN.

Mark 11:17 KJV
And he taught , saying unto them, Is it not written , My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves

1 Kings 7:10 KJV
And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

2 Chronicles 8:16 KJV
Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished . So the house of the LORD was perfected

Isaiah 28:16 KJV
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste .

EZEKIEL 13
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.
9 And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying , Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
11.Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall : there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones , shall fall ; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
12 Lo, when the wall is fallen , shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered , and it shall fall , and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; 16 To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
18 And say , Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes , and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die , and to save the souls alive that should not live , by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly , and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go , even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly .
21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear , and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad , whom I have not made sad ; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life :
23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Hebrews 11:10 KJV
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

TRAIN UP A CHILD

TODAY WHILE IN THE CAR MY LITTLE GIRL GOT UPSET BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT WHISTLE. SHE SAID "I CAN'T WHISTLE, I TRIED AND I CAN'T"...THEN I HEARD MY LITTLE BOY PRAYING..."JESUS,GIVE JAEL SOME TEETH SO SHE CAN WHISTLE"!(MY LITTLE GIRL IS SIX AND HAS LOSS A FEW TEETH)!

Proverbs 17:22 KJV
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

PRESS AND ALIGN

I HAVE FELT LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FURTHER I CAN GO LATELY. I HAVE FELT LIKE GIVING UP AND TRYING SOMETHING ELSE. BUT THERE IS A TRUTH FROM WITHIN THAT IS CAUSING ME TO PUSH TO PRESS TO FINISH THIS RACE. IT FEELS LIKE WE AS THE BODY OF CHRIST ARE SO CLOSE. ALL WE NEED TO DO IS ALIGN OURSELVES AND PUT IN ORDER WHAT NEEDS TO BE IN ORDER AND FINISH THE WORK. IT HAS BEEN HARD BUT IF WE FINISH THOSE THINGS THAT GOD HAS TOLD US TO DO WE WILL SEE THE FRUIT OF OUR LABOR, SO PUSH.

Philippians 1:6 KJV
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ

Philippians 3:14 KJV
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

DELIVERANCE IS NIGH...PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD

I WOKE UP EARLY THIS MORNING AND DECIDED TO SLEEP A LITTLE LONGER. I HAD A DREAM THAT I TOLD SOMEONE THAT I KEPT HEARING JERUSALEM AND NEW JERUSALEM AND THEY SAID THAT IT MEANT DELIVERANCE AND I STARTED SHOUTING.THE PERSON TOLD ME THAT JEREMIAH 9 TALKED ABOUT DELIVERANCE. I LOOKED AT JEREMIAH 9:13 AND IT WAS WAS A WARNING; A PROPHECY OF THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD. I WAS LIKE THAT DOESN'T TALK ABOUT DELIVERANCE...THEN I WENT A LITTLE DEEPER.

JEREMIAH 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weepday and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men ; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers , an assembly of treacherous men . 3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant , and every neighbour will walk with slanders.5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speaklies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity . 6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.7 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I dofor the daughter of my people?8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out ; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up , so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled ; they are gone . 11 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant . 12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken , that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through ? 13 And the LORD saith , Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; 14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: 15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink . 16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known : and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them. 17 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women , that they may come ; and send for cunning women, that they may come : 18 And let them make haste , and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled ! we are greatly confounded , because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out . 20 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.21 For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.22Speak , Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvest man , and none shall gather them. 23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight , saith the LORD.25 Behold, the days come , saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;26Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart

I WAS THEN LED TO REVELATION 3
1And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write ; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest , and art dead.2Be watchful , and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die : for I have not found thy works perfect before God.3Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard , and hold fast , and repent . If therefore thou shalt not watch , I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.4Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which havenot defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.5He that overcometh , the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I willnot blot ou this name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.6He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.7And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write ; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth , and no man shutteth ; and shutteth , and no man openeth ;8I know thy works: behold , I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hastnot denied my name.9Behold , I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie ; behold , I will make them to comeand worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.11Behold , I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast , that no man takethy crown.12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.13He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.14And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write ; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;15I knowthy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.17Because thou sayest , I amrich, and increased with goods , and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich ; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed , and that the shame of thy nakedness donot appear ; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see .19As many as I love , I rebuk eand chasten : be zealous therefore, and repent .20Behold , I stand at the door, and knock : if any man hearmy voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me.21To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame , and am set down with my Father in his throne.22He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

I woke up this morning with the scripture about the Parable of Talents playing (I play the bible on dvd while I sleep). God is returning soon, whether it be the rapture of the church or God visiting us in a way that he has not visited us I don't know but I do know that there will be a visitation. Be ready.

CLEANSING

WHERE IS THE FEAR OF GOD?

A while ago a relative of mine and I got into a discussion about Pharisees. We talked about how drunken they were with power. If any of them had a doubt who Christ was when the veil of the temple was rent; When the earth quaked and the sun was darkened; When the graves of saints were opened and the saints walked around the city appearing to many; when they found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty...they knew the truth. They knew the truth and yet they still chose to spread lies and try to keep people in darkness so they could hold on to their title, to hold on to their pride. The conversation then went to the lack of fear. I wandered how could someone be so bold; to know the truth and continue in a lie against the almighty God! How could one be so bold? This week I looked at some articles that were in the news on the web and the articles were against God and I felt they were just tools and their purpose was to plant seeds of doubt and I again wandered how people could be so bold. I wandered, where is the fear of God? This all led me to the conclusion that God is soon to do something so great that the devil is already busy preparing a counter attack. What God is going to do will draw many to Christ and the devil knows how many souls will come into the Kingdom of God. What God is about to do will be so astounding, so awesome that science or man won't be able to explain it away so they will attempt to spread lies. Let truth prevail.

OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD
When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just puttin' on the ritz
(our God is an awesome God)
There is thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fist
(our God is an awesome God)
Well, the Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He she'd his blood
His return is very close and so you better be believing
That our God is an awesome God
REFRAIN
Our God(our God) is an awesome God
He reigns(He reigns) from heaven above
With wisdom(with wisdom) pow'r and love
Our God is an awesome God,br> And when the sky was starless in the void of the night
(our God is an awesome God)
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
(our God is an awesome God)
Judgment and wrath he poured out on to Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God
Refrain x3
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
(Our God is an awesome God)
(Our God is an awesome God)

HOW EXCELLENT IS OUR LORD!

GATES OF HEAVEN

TODAY DURING SERVICE MY PASTOR MENTIONED MT. MORIAH. I STARTED READING "OPENING THE GATES OF HEAVEN...WALK IN THE FAVOR OF ANSWERED PRAYER AND BLESSING" BY PERRY STONE RECENTLY. I AM IN THE VERY BEGINING OF THE BOOK BUT PERRY STONE MENTIONED SOMETHING THAT GRABBED MY ATTENTION. IN THE BOOK HE TALKED ABOUT THERE BEING A SACRED MOUNTAIN CALLED MT MORIAH AND IT BEING THE PLACE WHERE ABRAHAM WAS PREPARED TO OFFER ISAAC AS A SACRIFICE AND ALSO THE PLACE WHERE JACOB EXPERIENCED HIS DREAM; A PLACE THAT HE CALLED THE GATE OF HEAVEN. WHAT IS GOD TRYING TO TELL US? HE FEELS SO CLOSE. IT IS ALMOST AS IF HE WANTS TO REVEAL THE MYSTERY OF HOW TO REACH HIM. COULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR THE BELIEVER IF IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD TO COME TO THE PLACE WHERE HE WOULD BE PERMITTED TO SPIRITUALLY ASCEND TO GOD'S HOLY MOUNTAIN AND TALK TO HIM FACE TO FACE AS MOSES DID? ARE WE COMING TO THAT PLACE? ONCE A WHILE AGO IN CHURCH GOD DID SOMETHING HE HAS NEVER DONE (NOT THAT I CAN REMEMBER)...HE BEGAN TO TELL ME WHO HE WAS; HIS VOICE WAS LIKE THUNDER; HE SAID "I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB". SOMETHING HAPPENED AND THE MOMENT WAS LOST AND I BEGAN TO WEEP. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF EXPERIENCES WITH GOD. I HAVE HAD WORSHIP THAT WAS SO SWEET AND INTENSE THAT I WAS FROZEN IN THAT MOMENT OF TIME...TIME STOPPED I COULD NOT MOVE; I COULD NOT SPEAK; I COULD ONLY TAKE IN THE PRESENCE AND POWER OF GOD. BUT THIS WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. IT WAS LIKE GOD WANTED TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO ME ON ANOTHER LEVEL. I WANTED IT THEN AND I WANT IT NOW.
MARK 3
13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would : and they came unto him.
MARK 9

1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
2.And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3.And his raiment became shining , exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4. And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 5.And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist not what to say ; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying , This is my beloved Son: hear him.

SEPTEMBER

SOMETIMES WHILE I'M READING GOD WILL SHOW ME A WORD THAT'S NOT THERE. I KNOW IT SOUNDs WEIRD BUT IT'S TRUE. I MET SOMEONE A WHILE BACK AND ONE DAY I WAS SOMEWHERE AND I SAW THE WORD 'MUSLIM' WHILE LOOKING AT A SIGN. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE SIGN ACTUALLY SAID BUT IT WAS NOWHERE CLOSE TO MUSLIM. I KNEW GOD WAS TELLING ME THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS PERSON WHO HAD TOLD ME HE WAS A CHRISTIAN. TODAY I GLANCED DOWN AT SOME PAPERWORK AND SAW THE WORD SUKKOT; I KNEW IT WAS A JEWISH WORD BUT I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT MEANT. GOD HAS LED ME TO OBSERVE JEWISH HOLIDAYS AT TIMES,MOSTLY PRAYING AND FASTING DURING THAT TIME. TODAY GOD ALSO TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO WORSHIP ..NOT JUST TO WORSHIP BUT TO WORSHIP LIKE I HAD NEVER WORSHIPPED BEFORE. ANYWAY THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT TIME FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE; THIS MONTH HAS ROSH HASHANAH (OBSERVED SEPTEMBER 16-18) WHICH IS THE "HEAD OF THE YEAR", THE FIRST DAY OF THE JEWISH YEAR;YOM KIPPUR (SEPTEMBER 25-26) WHICH IS THE DAY OF ATONEMENT, PEOPLE USUALLY FAST DURING THIS TIME; AND SUKKOT SEPTEMBER 30 THROUGH OCTOBER 7...BELOW IS INFORMATION I HAVE GOTTEN ABOUT SUKKOT FROM VARIOUS SITES:
What is Sukkot? The Sukkah, the Four Kinds, the "Water-Drawing Celebrations," the meaning of unity, the dynamics of joy...
For forty years, as our ancestors traversed the Sinai Desert, following the Exodus from Egypt, miraculous "clouds of glory" surrounded and hovered over them, shielding them from the dangers and discomforts of the desert. Ever since, we remember God's kindness and reaffirm our trust in His providence by dwelling in a sukkah--a hut of temporary construction with a roof covering of branches--for the duration of the Sukkot festival (on the Jewish calendar Tishrei 15-21). For seven days and nights, we eat all our meals in the sukkah and otherwise regard it as our home. Another Sukkot observance is the taking of the Four Kinds: an etrog (citron), a lulav (palm frond), three hadassim (myrtle twigs) and two aravot (willow twigs). On each day of the festival (excepting Shabbat), we take the Four Kinds, recite a blessing over them, bring them together in our hands and wave them in all six directions: right, left, forward, up, down and backward. Our sages in the midrash tell us that the Four Kinds represent the various types and personalities that comprise the community of Israel, whose intrinsic unity we emphasize on Sukkot. Sukkot is also called The Time of Our Joy; indeed, a special joy pervades the festival. nightly Water-Drawing Celebrations, reminiscent of the evening-to-dawn festivities held in the Holy Temple in preparation for the drawing of water for use in the festival service, fill the synagogues and streets with song, music and dance until the wee hours of the morning. The seventh day of Sukkot is called Hoshaana Rabbah ("Great Salvation") and closes the period of Divine judgment begun on Rosh Hashanah. A special observance is the aravah--the taking of a bundle of willow branches.

A RENEWED MIND

I HAVE HEARD A WORD OF PROPHECY FROM AN ACCURATE SOURCE REPEATEDLY...THIS NEXT REVIVAL WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE MIND. THAT PROPHECY HAS BEEN COMING BACK UP IN MY SPIRIT LATELY. I HAVE NOTICED IN MY OWN LIFE THAT ONCE YOU REALLY AND TRULY MAKE UP YOUR MIND; IF YOU DON'T MOVE OR GIVE UP IT WILL COME TO PASS. IN PHILLIPIANS 4:8 THE BIBLE SAYS THINK ON WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS HONEST, WHATEVER IS JUST, WHATEVER IS PURE, WHATEVER IS LOVELY AND WHATEVER IS OF A GOOD REPORT. GOD WANTS US TO DISCIPLINE OUR THOUGHT LIFE. THE WORLD HAS A FALSE DOCTRINE..."THE SECRET" THAT SAYS THINKING POSITIVELY ATTRACTS POSITIVE THINGS. THE "SECRET" IS NO SECRET; IT IS AN ALTERED BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME; AS A MAN THINKETH IN HIS HEART SO IS HE (PROVERBS 23:7). WOULD IT NOT BE A POWERFUL THING IF WE MADE UP OUR MINDS TO BELIEVE GOD'S WORD AND HIS PROMISES. IF IT IS NOT YET MANIFESTED IF WE HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE, PREPARE, AND REHEARSE FOR WHAT GOD SAID WOULD BE IT WILL BE.

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

TONIGHT I WENT RIDING AND ENDED UP AT A PARK BY THE WATER. I WATCHED HOW ROUGH THE TIDES WERE AND HOW STRONG THE WIND WAS AND I PRAYED AND WORSHIPED. PEOPLE HAD COME OUT TO THE PARK DRAWN BY THE WEATHER AND I WAS HAPPY BECAUSE IT MEANT THAT I COULD STAY LONGER AND BE SAFE.WHEN PEOPLE STARTED LEAVING I DECIDED TO GO TOO; AS I WAS GETTING READY TO GO I FELT LED TO DRIVE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PARK AND I LOOKED UP AND SAW A CAR THAT LOOKED LIKE THE CAR OF A FRIEND OF MINE. THEN I LOOKED UP AND SAW MY FRIEND STANDING BY THE WATER. I GOT OUT AND WE LAUGHED, PLEASED TO SEE ONE ANOTHER. WE WALKED TO A NEARBY BENCH AND BEGAN TO TALK, THEN SEPERATELY BUT ON ONE ACCORD WE PRAYED AND WORSHIPED. AS WE PRAYED IT SEEMED AS IF THE WIND GOT STRONGER AND THE TIDES GOT ROUGHER. OUT OF NOWHERE A WOMAN BEGAN TO WALK IN OUR DIRECTION. SHE WAS SAYING SOMETHING BUT I COULD NOT HEAR HER. I ASKED MY FRIEND IF SHE KNEW HER, MY FRIEND SAID NO AND I BECAME ALERT. I TOLD MY FRIEND LETS GO AND WE BEGAN TO WALK TOWARDS THE WOMAN, READY TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER. I KNEW IT WAS NO COINCIDENCE THAT SOMEONE HAD COME OUT OF NOWHERE IN AN EMPTY PARK WHILE WE WERE PRAYING. IN MY DREAMS I HAD CAST DEMONS OUT BUT NOT IN REALITY BUT I WAS READY TO SEE IF I COULD. MY FRIEND AND I STOOD SHOULDER TO SHOULDER...READY. THE LADY BEGAN TO SAY THE PARK WAS CLOSED AND TELL A FEW BAD JOKES AMONG SOME OTHER RANDOM RAMBLINGS. MY FRIEND AND I LOOKED AT THE WOMAN EXPRESSIONLESS BECAUSE WE HAD BOTH FELT HOW INTENSE THE WORSHIP AND PRAYER HAD GOTTEN BEFORE BEING ABRUPTLY INTERRUPTED. WE LEFT THE PARK AND THEN TALKED; BOTH OF US WANDERED WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF WE WERE'NT INTERRUPTED. PRAYER WAS MANDATED TODAY. EARLY THIS MORNING AND THEN LATER THIS EVENING I FELT AN URGENCY TO PRAY. I THANK GOD FOR HIS PROTECTION. I THANK GOD THAT HE HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYER.

COME AWAY WITH ME

SONG OF SOLOMON 2

10 My beloved spake , and said unto me, Rise up , my love, my fair one, and come away . 11 For, lo, the winter is past , the rain is over and gone ; 12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come , and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise , my love, my fair one, and come away . 14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.


TODAY GOD IS CALLING HIS PEOPLE TO HIS HOLY HILL TO SPEND TIME ALONE WITH HIM.

FIGHTING TEMPTATION

I don't know what is going on in the atmosphere today but I know I had to fight...my flesh. I know I am close to something and I won't give in to temptation
Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray , that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

UNITY

Psalm 133:1 KJV
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
TODAY'S SERVICE WAS GREAT! THERE WAS A SWEET PRESENCE. IT WAS SO REFRESHING. SO MANY KEY POINTS WERE MADE BUT THE ONE THAT I WILL MEDITATE THE MOST ON WAS THAT "WHAT YOU SEE IS NOT REAL". IF WE AS CHRISTIANS WOULD FOCUS ON THE BIGGER PICTURE IT WOULD CHANGE THE WORLD. THE WILDERNESS IS JUST A MIRAGE THE PROMISED LAND IS WHAT IS REAL.

A WIND OF GOD'S GLORY

ISAIAH 41
1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near ; then let them speak : let us come neartogether to judgment.2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as drivenstubble to his bow.3 He pursued them, and passedsafely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 5 The isles saw it, and feared ; the ends of the earth were afraid , drew near , and came . 6 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage . 7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith , and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying , It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved . 8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen , the seed of Abraham my friend . 9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away . 10Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed ; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded : they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish . 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 14Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer , the Holy One of Israel.15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small , and shalt make the hills as chaff.16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away , and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel

SONS OF THUNDER

I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT LIGHTENING LATELY. I NOTICED THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON THAT WHEN IT IS HOT LIGHTENING SEEMS TO STRIKE CLOSER. I HAVE ALSO BEEN LED TO

MARK 3

13.And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would : and they came unto him.
14.And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach ,
15.And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
16.And Simon he surnamed Peter;
17.And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

THUNDER IS THE RESULT OF THE COMPRESSION OF HEATED AIR SURROUNDING A LIGHTENING BOLT. A LIGHTENING BOLT CAN BE 5X HOTTER THAN THE SUN.

DANIEL 3

19.Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changedagainst Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake , and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated .
20. And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bindShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burningfiery furnace.21Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen , and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burningfiery furnace.
22.Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent , and the furnace exceeding hot , the flame of the fire slewthose men that took upShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell downbound into the midst of the burningfiery furnace.
24.Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied , and rose up in haste , and spake , and said unto his counsellors, Did not we castthree men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25. He answered and said , Lo, I seefour men loose , walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.


THIS PRESSURE THIS UNATURAL HEAT THAT THE ENEMY HAS LIT TO DESTROY YOU IS THE VERY THING GOD WILL USE TO LOOSE YOUR BOUNDS AND BRING YOU OUT! DELIVERANCE IS NIGH...IT WON'T BE STOPPED.

WHAT WAS NO IS NOW YES

TODAY I HEARD THE LORD SAY "WHAT WAS NO IS NOW YES".
.EXODUS 12
31. AND HE CALLED FOR MOSES AND AARON BY NIGHT, HE , AND ALL HIS SERVANTS, AND SAID, RISE UP, AND GET YOU FORTH FROM AMONGST MY PEOPLE, BOTH YOU AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL; GO, SERVE THE LORD, AS YE HAVE SAID.
32. ALSO TAKE YOUR FLOCKS AND YOUR HERDS, AS YE HAVE SAID, AND BE GONE; AND BLESS ME ALSO.
33. AND THE EGYPTIANS WERE URGENT UPON THE PEOPLE, THAT THEY MIGHT SEND THEM OUT OF THE LAND IN HASTE; FOR THEY SAID, WE ALL BE DEAD MEN.
34. AND THE PEOPLE TOOK THEIR DOUGH BEFORE IT WAS LEAVENED, THEIR KNEADINGTROUGHS BEING BOUND UP IN THEIR CLOTHES UPON THEIR SHOULDERS. ,BR> 25. AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DID ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF MOSES; AND THEY BORROWED OF THE EGYPTIANS JEWELS OF SILVER, AND JEWELS OF GOLD, AND RAIMENT:
36. AND THE LORD GAVE THE PEOPLE FAVOUR IN THE SIGHT OF THE EGYPTIANS, SO THAT THEY LENT UNTO THEM SUCH THINGS AS THEY REQUIRED. AND THEY SPOILED THE EGYPTIANS.

OVERFLOW

I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT THAT IT WAS FLOODING AND MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRYING TO HURRY TO GET IN THE HOUSE. THE WATERS WERE GETTING HIGH BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON THE WATER WASN'T COMING IN THE HOUSE. AS THE WATER GOT HIGHER ANIMALS TRIED TO GET INTO THE HOUSE. THEIR STRENGTH WAS ABNORMAL TO SAY THE LEAST. A DOG HIT THE FRONT DOOR WITH SUCH A FORCE THAT THE DOOR MOVED INWARDLY BUT THE DOG OR WATER COULD NOT COME IN. ONE OF MY CHILDREN WAS IN THE BACK YARD IN THE FLOOD. HE LATER GOT INTO THE HOUSE SAFELY. THE CHILD THAT WAS OUTSIDE WAS MY THREE YEAR OLD AND I FELT THAT WAS STRANGE BUT I FELT THE LORD WAS TELLING ME TO KEEP MY CHILDREN COVERED. MY THREE YEAR OLD GOES WITH HIS FATHER FOR THE WEEKEND AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS BEING EXSPOSED TO BUT I DO KNOW THAT ALL OF MY CHILDREN WILL BE SATURATED WITH PRAYER. I TAKE THIS AS A WARNING. GET INTO THE ARK. MAKE YOUR HOUSE READY. GATHER WHO YOU WILL TO BE SAVED. THERE IS A FLOOD COMING. THERE IS SAFETY IN GOD. THERE IS SAFETY IN THE HOUSE. KEEP OUT WHAT DOESN'T BELONG THROUGH PRAYER. GOD'S GLORY WILL BE BEAUTIFUL FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOUND READY AND PREPARED BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE FOUND UNPREPARED AND NOT READY THERE IS DANGER OF FLOODING.

WE MUST BE HUMBLE

TODAY WHEN I GOT HOME IN THE HALLWAY THERE WAS A PIECE OF PAPER. ON THE PIECE OF PAPER WERE NOTES TAKEN FROM MESSAGES I HEARD AT CHURCH STARTING ON 6/23 I'M GUESSING OF LAST YEAR . THE NOTES WERE FROM AT LEAST FIVE CHURCH SERVICES AND I FELT THE NEED TO SHARE THEM.
6/23 THE MESSAGE TALKED ABOUT WAS PETER WALKING ON WATER IN MATTHEW AND IT SAID LET PEOPLE SEE YOU DOWN SO THEY CAN SEE GOD BRING YOU BACK UP AND HE CAN GET THE GLORY.
6/30 THE MESSAGE WAS ABOUT FEAR AND PRIDE AND IT SAID THAT WHEN TERROR AND FEAR ARE PRESENT THERE IS NO POWER, FEAR IS ROOTED AND ATTACHED TO PRIDE, DO NOT TO BE AFRAID TO SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY, THERE IS POWER IN YOUR TESTIMONY AND SHAME IS A DARK SPIRIT THAT HINDERS
7/3 FORGIVENESS IS LETTING IT GO, IF YOU ARE SAVED FORGIVENESS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE; PRIDE IS KEEPING US FROM GOING IN TO HEAVEN.
7/7 YOU CAN BE A BELIEVER BUT NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST YOU CAN'T BE BORN AGAIN WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST. IF YOU HAVE THE HOLY GHOST YOU WILL DO THE WILL OF GOD, LET THE OLD MAN DIE AND NOT HIDE, YOU CAN'T BE IN THE BATTLE ONLY PART-TIME.
7-31 PRAY FOR THE RETURN OF THER FATHER AND THE RETURN OF THE FAMILY; WOMAN IS A MIRROR FOR MAN (CHECKS AND BALANCE)

WHEN PRIDE GOES GLORY WILL COME

I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT PRIDE LATELY. TONIGHT I CAME ACROSS SOMETHING I HAD WRITTEN ON CHRISTMAS. I HAD WRITTEN WHAT I HEARD GOD SAY AND IT WAS: "I WANT YOU TO LOOK FOR UNUSUAL BLESSINGS AND MIRACLES IN DAYS TO COME; IF PRIDE DIES AND MY CHILDREN TRULY RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS ME AND I AM WORKING THROUGH THEM AND THEY ARE ONLY VESSELS AND THEY GIVE ME THE GLORY...I WILL DO GREAT THINGS AMONG THEM". I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF PRIDE WHEN I THOUGHT OF THE STORY OF KING UZZIAH; PRIDE WAS HIS DOWNFALL.WE MUST BE HUMBLE.

Isaiah 6:1 KJV
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up , and his train filled the temple.
