THE TRICK OF DIVISION

I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HOW JESUS OFTEN SPOKE IN PARABLES. I READ MARK CHAPTER THREE THIS MORNING WHERE JESUS ORDAINED THE TWELVE DISCIPLES AND SENT THEM FORTH WITH POWER TO HEAL SICKNESSES AND CAST OUT DEVILS ( FOR WHATEVER REASON I ALWAYS PAUSE WHEN I GET TO THE PART WHERE JESUS SURNAMED A SPECIAL GROUP WITHIN THE GROUP...THE TWO; THE SONS OF THUNDER.) MARK CHAPTER THREE ALSO TALKS ABOUT DIVISION; IT'S AN OLD TRICK BUT SADLY IT IS STILL WORKING! I THOUGHT ABOUT THE SCRIPTURE (MATTHEW 13:10) WHERE THE DISCIPLES ASKED JESUS WHY HE SPOKE TO THE PEOPLE IN PARABLES AND HE SAID BECAUSE IT WAS GIVEN UNTO THEM TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. BEFORE JESUS WAS SEATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FATHER I'M SURE HIS DISCIPLES HAD WALKED WITH HIM LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW HIM AND WHETHER HE SPOKE IN A PARABLE OR PLAINLY...THEY UNDERSTOOD HIM. I ALSO THOUGHT ON THAT COUNTERFEIT; THE DEVIL AND HOW HE DOES THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT GOD IS DOING BY DOING SOMETHING THAT LOOKS SIMILAR. JESUS SPOKE IN PARABLES... I THINK THE DEVIL AT TIMES SPEAKS IN RIDDLES AND THE PURPOSE OF THE RIDDLE IS TO BRING CONFUSION AND/OR DIVISION. WEBSTER DEFINES A RIDDLE AS:

1: a mystifying, misleading, or puzzling question posed as a problem to be solved or guessed :

2: something or someone difficult to understand

I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL WISE PEOPLE MENTION THE FACT THAT THE FALL OF MAN BEGAN WITH A QUESTION (OR RIDDLE) YEA, HATH GOD SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF EVERY TREE IN THE GARDEN?
THE TRICK HE PLAYED ON ADAM AND EVE CAUSED THE DIVISION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, BUT THANK GOD FOR JESUS, THE REPAIRER OF THE BREACH! THERE IS POWER IN UNITY.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE

TODAY MY CHURCH WAS FASTING. I HAVE GONE ON THREE DAY WATER FASTS THAT WEREN'T THIS HARD. I DECIDED TO FAST FOR PART OF THE DAY. GOD GAVE ME A TIME. I WENT BY THE WATER AND PRAYED TWICE TODAY BEFORE BREAKING IT. ON MY WAY TO THE WATER THE SECOND TIME I GOT A MESSAGE THAT MY LITTLE GIRL WAS CUTTING UP IN SCHOOL (AGAIN). DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I SAW A CHURCH SIGN BUT WHAT I READ WAS "HARRY POTTER" I LOOKED BACK UP AND IT SAID HOLY TEMPLE. I SAID OKAY LORD WHAT IS THAT AND HE SAID SHE WATCHED HARRY POTTER AND IT OPENED A DOOR. I WOULDN'T LET MY CHILDREN WATCH HARRY POTTER WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT; MY EX HUSBAND DID NOT UNDERSTAND ME NOT WANTING THEM TO WATCH IT, OR ME NOT WANTING THEM TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN, OR ME NOT TELLING THEM ABOUT THE TOOTH-FAIRY OR SANTA CLAUS...HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ME. WHEN WE SEPARATED I'M SURE ALOT OF THE THINGS I FOUGHT FOR AND BELIEVED IN WENT OUT THE WINDOW. MY LITTLE GIRL WAS OLD ENOUGH WHILE WE WERE TOGETHER FOR HER NOT TO BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS BUT MY LITTLE BOY DOES EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TRIED TO TELL HIM WHY CHRISTMAS IS CELEBRATED. I ASKED MY LITTLE GIRL IF SHE HAD WATCHED HARRY POTTER AND SHE SAID NO BUT IT WASN'T RINGING TRUE TO MY SPIRIT SO I BEGAN TO LOOK ONLINE TO LEARN MORE. HARRY POTTER HAD A CHARACTER NAMED VOLDEMERE WHO SCREAMED ALOT (I HAVE READ THAT VOLDEMERE IS THE NAME OF AN ACTUAL DEMON); THE MOVIE HAD SCREAMING  ROOTS AND SCREAMING PANTS...SCREAMING, SCREAMING, SCREAMING. GUESS WHAT THE MAIN  COMPLAINT ABOUT MY DAUGHTER'S BAD BEHAVIOR IS?...SCREAMING. I THANK GOD FOR BRINGING TRUTH IN THIS HOUR.

FREEDOM

LAST NIGHT IN CHURCH WE DISCUSSED 2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 10.  IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT WHEN WE BRING EVERY THOUGHT INTO CAPTIVITY TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST THEN STRONGHOLDS WILL BE BROKEN AND FORCED TO SUBMIT. THIS WAS SO PROPHETIC! THIS WEEK GOD TOLD ME TO BEGIN TO PRAY FOR SOMEONE THAT HAD WRONGED ME, NOT JUST ONE DAY BUT EVERYDAY FOR TWENTY ONE DAYS. LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN VERY SPECIFIC...THAT GOD WILL ALLOW THEM TO BE PRESENTED THE TRUTH AND THAT THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE TRUTH AND SALVATION. SO THE MESSAGE WAS VERY TIMELY AND IT GAVE ME MORE INSIGHT AS TO WHAT GOD IS DOING. WE AS BELIEVERS ARE GETTING READY TO BE FREE AND WALK INTO DESTINY. THE SPIRIT THAT HAS BEEN DRIVING THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN COMING AGAINST US WILL BE HELD CAPTIVE AND
FOR SOME IF NOT ALL THE PEOPLE DRIVEN OR INHABITED BY THESE SPIRITS
THERE WILL BE A SPACE OF TIME FOR THEM TO SEE THE TRUTH AND MAKE A CLEAR DECISION. BUT WE WILL BE FREE EITHER WAY. LORD HAVE MERCY! I TAKE INTO CAPTIVITY THE PART OF ME THAT WANTS JUSTICE FOR THE WRONG AND I SAY LORD HAVE YOUR WAY. I'M SURE A LOT OF CHRISTIANS WEREN'T TO THRILLED ABOUT SAUL'S DAMASCUS EXPERIENCE; BUT GOD IS GOD AND HIS WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN OUR WAYS...HIS THOUGHTS HIGHER THAN OUR THOUGHTS. SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE AND HAS BEEN TRULY CONVERTED WOULD REACH PEOPLE THAT AREN'T REACHED SO EASILY! LORD HAVE YOUR WAY AND USHER IN DELIVERANCE FOR ANYONE WHO WILL RECEIVE IT.

2 CORINTHIANS 10
3 For though we walk in 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;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled

LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO!

I HAD ANOTHER DREAM ABOUT A STORM LAST NIGHT. THIS TIME THE WIND WAS VERY STRONG AND THE TREES WHIPPED BACK AND FORTH THREATENING TO COME THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE ROOM MY CHILDREN AND I WERE IN. I WOKE UP REMEMBERING THE DREAM BUT NOT FEELING TROUBLED ABOUT IT. I KNEW THAT IT MEANT SOMETHING BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT. I BELIEVE THERE ARE THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A SEASON IN WHICH YOU HAVE WANDERED WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON. A SEASON LIKE JOB WHERE GOD ALLOWED SOME THINGS BUT SPARED YOUR LIFE. I BELIEVE WE ARE COMING OUT. THE ENEMY WANTS TO HOLD ON. HE THOUGHT WE WOULD BE DEFEATED BUT VICTORY IS ON THE HORIZON. I BELIEVE GOD!

JOB 5
1Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn ? 2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one . 3 I have seen the foolish taking root : but suddenly I cursed his habitation.4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. 5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up , and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks flyupward . 8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable ; marvellous things without number:10 Who givethrain upon the earth, and sendethwaters upon the fields:11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong . 14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth : therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:18 For he maketh sore , and bindeth up : he woundeth , and his hands make whole . 19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh . 22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh : neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. 24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin . 25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

SIMPLY AMAZING

PRAY FOR RAIN

I REPLAY THINGS IN MY MIND A LOT. SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE GOOD AND SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE BAD. ONE DAY WHILE IN CHURCH A YOUNG LADY STOOD UP AND ASKED A QUESTION THAT WAS MORE OF A PROCLAMATION; SHE SAID "WHO IS LIKE THE LORD?" I HEAR HER SAYING IT FROM TIME TO TIME AND RECENTLY I HAVE HEARD IT MORE OFTEN. TODAY I WENT BY THE WATER AND I THOUGHT ABOUT SOME THINGS. I THOUGHT ON HOW GOD IS ABSOLUTELY ALL POWERFUL; HOW HE CAN DO ANYTHING; HOW HE CONTROLS EVERYTHING AND IT CAUSED ME TO WANDER...WHY ARE THINGS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST LIKE THEY ARE ?WHY ARE THINGS IN MY LIFE LIKE THEY ARE? I WORSHIPED, PROCLAIMED, AND INTERCEDED BUT AFTER ALL THAT THERE WAS STILL THE QUESTION...WHY ARE THINGS LIKE THEY ARE? MY COUSIN CALLED AND WE BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT UNITY AND THE CONVERSATION WENT SO MANY PLACES (I LOVE MY COUSIN). WE TALKED ABOUT HOW EVERYONE WANTS TO BE THAT ONE AND HOW PEOPLE COVET POSITIONS. WE THEN TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS IS THE TIME THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT IN JOEL; THAT GOD IS POURING OUT HIS SPIRIT...AND HOW PEOPLE ARE USE TO BEING "THE PROPHET", "THE EVANGELIST"...ETC BUT THAT TIME HAS PASSED. GOD IS RAISING UP ARMIES OF PROPHETS; ARMIES OF EVANGELISTS. THE ONLY THING WE NEED TO DO IS UNITE. IF WE COULD UNITE FOR REAL; I MEAN FOR REAL: IT WOULD CHANGE THE WORLD. WE TALKED ABOUT HOW THE WICKED SEEM TO BE PROSPERING AND YEAH I KNOW THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THEY'LL SOON BE CUT OFF BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHY THE CHURCH ISN'T PROSPERING. I WANT TO KNOW WHY PEOPLE IN THE STREET SEEM TO BE NICER THAN PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH. I'M TALKING ABOUT ME TOO; I HAVE ISSUES HOLDING ON TO STUFF AND IF YOU CROSS ME I'M LOOKING AT YOU STUPID FROM HERE ON OUT BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE. WE HAVE WORK TO DO. THERE ARE SOULS AT STAKE. I'VE GONE TO BROWNSVILLE (A LOCAL CHURCH )A COUPLE OF TIMES, NOT DURING THE REVIVAL BUT AFTERWARD AND ONE OF THE THINGS I TOOK AWAY FROM THERE WAS THE STORY OF HOW REVIVAL BROKE LOOSE; IT WAS PRAYER, PRAYER AND MORE PRAYER. WE NEED TO MEET AT THE ALTAR EVERY TIME WE GET A CHANCE AND CRY OUT TO GOD FOR RELEASE. I MEAN AT THE ALTAR WHALING AND INTERCEDING UNTIL WE GET SO FULL WE JUST LAY ON OUT! ITS COMING IN SPRINKLES BUT I AM READY FOR IT TO BURST ON OPEN AND CHANGE FROM A SPRINKLING TO A POURING. POUR OUT YOUR SPIRIT LORD, POUR OUT YOUR GLORY LORD, POUR OUT YOUR LOVE LORD AND LET IT ABIDE FOREVER.

 A FEW NIGHTS AGO I HAD A DREAM AND IN THE DREAM MY PASTOR WAS TELLING ME THAT I WAS ALMOST THERE (NOW I UNDERSTAND). IT SEEMS LIKE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN MORE THOUGHT TO THE DREAM. I HAVE ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF DREAMS WITH MY PASTOR IN THEM. NORMALLY IN THE DREAMS GOD WANTS TO TEACH ME OR TELL ME SOMETHING MY SPIRITUAL MOTHER IS THE ONE IN MY DREAM. TODAY GOD TOLD ME THAT I WAS ON ASSIGNMENT AND FRIENDS ARE ONLY AN ADDED BENEFIT.IF WE CAN FOCUS ON THE PRIZE INSTEAD OF GETTING CAUGHT UP ON PETTINESS WE COULD ACHIEVE THINGS BEYOND OUR IMAGINATION. I WAS SO CLOSE TO QUITTING, BUT I WILL NOT! I CANNOT.

Philippians 3:14 KJV

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

 

"HIDE ME"

HEAL OUR LAND.

THIS MORNING I WOKE FROM A DREAM ABOUT MY DAUGHTER. IN THE DREAM THE OVERSEER OF A CHURCH I WENT TO WHEN I WAS A CHILD WAS SITTING IN A CHAIR AND ME AND MY LITTLE GIRL CAME IN THE DOOR AND THE LADY BEGAN TO SHED LIGHT ON SOMETHINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED TO MY CHILD. JUST THEN THE OFFENDER WALKED UP AND WHEN HE SAW THE OVERSEER HE TURNED AROUND AND QUICKLY WALKED AWAY; I WOKE UP FROM THE DREAM TO FIND MY LITTLE GIRL SITTING UP IN THE BED. I ASKED GOD WHY AS IN WHY HER TOO? HE SAID TO GO AND GET OTHER LITTLE GIRLS. GOD IS BRINGING HEALING BUT THE PAINS OF THE HEALING PROCESS CAN BE HARD TO DEAL WITH. PRAY FOR ME.

 

2 CHRONICLES 7 

14 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.

2 CHRONICLES 7

14. If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, {and} require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

HAVE YOUR WAY!

LAST NIGHT I WENT TO SEE JOAN HUNTER. I WAS SO EXCITED. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR DELIVERANCE FOR SO LONG. I GUESS I THOUGHT THAT IF I COULD COME INTO CONTACT WITH SOMEONE WITH ENOUGH ANNOINTING I WOULD INSTANTLY BE SET FREE BUT SINCE GOD WANTS ME TO BE THE VESSEL THAT HE BRINGS DELIVERANCE THROUGH I HAVE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. THIS MORNING  I WAS UPSET. I WANTED TO KNOW WHY GOD DIDN'T DO WHAT I WANTED HIM TO DO THROUGH HER. HE TOLD ME THAT THE PEOPLE OR PERSON THAT WRONGED ME WOULD HAVE TO COME TO ME; THAT'S NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND BUT GOD IS GOD AND HOW EVER DELIVERANCE COMES I JUST NEED IT TO COME.

A LITTLE LATER ON I TOLD GOD..."YOU'RE BREAKING ME". HE  RESPONDED "I'M BREAKING YOU SO I CAN REBUILD YOU"...WELL LORD MAKE ME OVER.

FINISH

GOD TOLD ME TO "WATCH WHO YOU CONFIDE IN; TO WATCH WHO YOU PUT YOUR TRUST IN. FOR I AM BRINGING ABOUT DESTINY; FOR I AM BRINGING ABOUT CHANGE;  I AM BRINGING ABOUT PROMISE." I BELIEVE WE ARE SO CLOSE TO WALKING INTO THE PROMISES OF GOD; I BELIEVE THAT GOD WANTS TO BRING LIGHT TO THINGS THAT WERE HIDDEN AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE HIDDEN WERE IN PLAIN EYESIGHT. I'M BELIEVING GOD FOR RESTORATION; I BELIEVE WE HAVE COME TOO FAR TO TURN BACK; I'M NOT GOING TO TURN BACK...I HAVE STARTED OVER TOO MANY TIMES! GOD ALWAYS BRINGS ME BACK TO WHAT IT IS HE WANTS ME TO ACCOMPLISH; WHAT IT IS HE WANTS ME TO FINISH, SO I'M GOING TO MOVE AS HE DIRECTS ME TO MOVE. I MUST FINISH.

PHILLIPIANS 3

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended : but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded : and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded , God shall reveal even this unto you.

STAND

TODAY GOD TOLD ME TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST THE ENEMY...



GIVE ME BACK MY FAITH

GIVE ME BACK MY FAITH
IT WASN'T YOUR'S TO TAKE
IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS BEFORE THIS LIFE
BEFORE I CAME TO BE
WHO I NOW IDENTIFY AS ME
WHEN MY FAITH WAS PERFECT
BECAUSE I BEHELD THE UNDENIABLE GLORY
OF THE ONLY LIVING GOD
MY FAITH BECAME DIM
AS INNOCENCE MET GRIM
BUT A PART OF ME REMEMBERED
SO FAITH WOULD NOT DIE
PIECE BY PIECE IT WAS TAKEN
AND I DARE SAY IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN
THAT IF ITS MINE I CAN TAKE IT BACK AGAIN
GIVE ME BACK MY FAITH
IT WASN'T YOURS TO TAKE
NO MATTER WHAT I FACE
IT CAN NEVER TAKE
AWAY THE PART OF ME THAT STILL REMEMBERS
 GOD'S GLORY
FAITH WILL NEVER DIE
IT IS HIDDEN IN HIM AND I
AND I WANT IT BACK MULTIPLIED
GIVE IT BACK
I HAVE RECOVERED FROM THE BLOW
THAT THREATENED TO SHAKE
WHAT I KNOW
TO BE THE TRUTH
GOD IS ABLE
HE IS WORTHY
HE IS FAITHFUL
AND ALTHOUGH UNDESERVING
 HE CARES ABOUT AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT ME
I TAKE POSSESSION OF THE LAND THAT IS MINE
AND I STAND AGAINST THE ENEMY DECLARING
GOD IS FAITHFUL

FOUND

GOD TOLD ME JUST NOW THAT I WAS GOING TO START FINDING THINGS THAT I THOUGHT WERE LOST...I DECREE THAT IN YOUR LIFE TOO.

THANK YOU LORD

   ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS GOD HAS DONE FOR ME IS TO  TELL ME DIFFERENT HERBS AND THINGS I NEED. TODAY I HEARD ELDERBERY AND GOD TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO REVEAL MYSTERIES FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE EXPOSED TO ENVIRONMENTAL AND ATMOSPHERIC INFLUENCES BUT I DIDN'T HAVE YIELD TO THEM. I THANK GOD THAT HE HAS GIVEN US THE KEYS THAT UNLOCK EVERYTHING WE NEED. THIS MORNING I FELT A FREEDOM I HAVEN'T FELT IN A LONG TIME. I KNEW WHY WHEN I GOT TO CHURCH. THANK YOU LORD.


PSALMS 2
   1 Why do the heathen rage , and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
   3 Let us break their bands asunder , and cast away their cords from us.
   4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh : the Lord shall have them in derision .  
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.  
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter'svessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed , ye judges of the earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry , and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.  

EVERY MOMENT IS IN GOD'S HANDS

I LOVE THIS SONG! I DON'T DANCE BUT IN MY MIND WHEN I HEAR IT I SEE A PRAISE DANCE. I TOLD MY FRIEND THAT IF WHEN IT GOT TO THE PART OF THE SONG THAT IT SAYS "HE WILL STRETCH HIS ARMS TO COVER YOU" THE DANCERS STARTED RIVER DANCING IT WOULD MESS PEOPLE UP! GOD BLESS YOU.

YOU BETTER SING!
