Keys of Understanding

I have read various books on deliverance; I have prayed various deliverance prayers and fasted and yet in some areas I am still believing God for deliverance. I came across YouTube videos of Tiphani Montgomery featuring Kevin Ewing and a principle was taught that I had not heard before. There is a lot of great information in these videos but what got my attention was the information on dreams. Mr. Ewing stated that covenants could be renewed in dreams. That blew my mind! So after I have prayed, fasted and read these deliverance prayers, the spirit can walk right back into my life through a dream. There are numerous examples of God speaking to people through dreams in scripture one example is in 1 Kings 3: 5-9 it is about Solomon. Solomon walked in the statutes of the Lord and offered a thousand burnt offerings on the altar and after, God appeared to Solomon in a dream and asked "What shall I give thee?" as we all know Solomon asked for wisdom and it pleased the Lord and so he granted him wisdom. We can conclude it was more than just a dream.  A while ago I was recounting how I could dream about what I wanted to when I was a child and how what we dream about could potentially be manifested in the natural. When I heard this teaching things began to click into place. Mr. Ewing talked about having sex in dreams. How the spirit you had gotten rid of or a greater spirit that he brought along could disguise itself as someone in a dream and have intercourse with you which in turn would renew the covenant. We know that sex is an act of covenant. When Jesus saw the woman at the well he told her she had had five husbands, John 4:15-18. I had to go to God about this. I am going to be open because it may help someone. I said okay Lord, that was my vice; I may be able to resist in the natural but how can I resist in my dream state? The only thing I could think of that would work was the same thing that worked when I dreamed when I was a child...I would need to maintain a certain level of consciousness in my dreams. So my prayer was Lord help me to keep a certain level of consciousness in my dreams; we need to be aware that our dream life can affect our natural life IT IS NOT JUST A DREAM!  If you awake after having one of these dreams repent; denounce any evil covenant you may have entered into in the dream; decree that you are the bride of Christ and according to Numbers 30:8 Jesus can nullify the vow or covenant made and decree by the blood of Jesus the covenant is broken. This week I think I am going to be reexamining significant and reoccurring dreams that I have had. I love you with the love of Jesus Christ; be blessed.

Victory is in the (wind) Air!!!

I have been looking at notes from pasts fasts this week and reviewing the prayers that were answered during those fasts and the revelations that were gained and writing them in a journal. It occurred to me this week that there was a matter that although I had prayed about I hadn't asked God what I should do as in what action to take if any. I had been praying about this matter for along time. I thought to myself surely I had to have asked for instruction, but I hadn't. I had prayed and prayed and then I did what I thought I should do to secure the result that I wanted (to no avail). So I asked the Lord "Lord what do I do to....?" and he gave me a direction. This weekend the strong winds in the area made me think about the Mulberry tree that was in my backyard. During a storm a Mulberry Tree in my yard was damaged to the point that it had to be cut down. I was sad about it; not because I like Mulberries, because I don't. I was sad because I love the scripture in second Samuel Chpt. 5 where God gives David the strategy to win the battle. He told David to listen for the sound of going in the tops of the Mulberry trees or listen for the wind blowing through the leaves in the Mulberry trees. Although that tree was lost, one day while in my backyard I discovered that the Mulberry Tree that I thought belonged to my neighbor was really in my yard and belonged to me. It was planted so close to the fence line that if you didn't look closely you might think the tree was actually in the other yard. Some of the branches even reach into the other yard. I had never noticed before because the Mulberry Tree that I had always focused on was bigger and it was positioned in the yard in such a way that it was an attention grabber. This week like David I sought the Lord about the battle and God sent an answer by the winds of his spirit. Victory is in the air! Do you feel it?

Zechariah 4:6

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

2 Samuel Chpt. 5

24) And let it be when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulbery trees, that then thou shalt bestirre thy selfe: for then shal the Lord goe out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

25 25) And Dauid did so, as the Lord had commaunded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba, vntil thou come to Gazer.

I Love You (With the Love of Christ)

 I did as I said I would do and I asked my mom what she prayed for when she prayed for me. I also told my children what I prayed when I prayed for them and how they could prophecy those prayers that had already been established in the heavens. When I began telling them about my prayer for them I realized I hadn't actually blessed and prayed over them in a while. I pray for them daily but I had not blessed them or prayed over their physical bodies in quite some time so it is something that I need to start doing again. This week I am moving on from Hebrews Chapter 11 and on to 1 Corinthians Chapter 13, the chapter that talks about Charity (Love). I think this chapter of scripture is well needed in my life right now. I never want Gods love to grow cold in me but I know that I can grow indifferent easily; for me it is a coping mechanism but in this hour I cannot afford to not concern myself with others. God recently brought people to mind that I thought I had forgiven; when he did I responded "no I have forgiven them". His question to me was "why don't you pray for them then?" He was right as always so I prayed for them and since then I pray for them often. Even though I had purposed to forgive them and verbalized that forgiveness there was still something there that kept record of the offense. There is one person in particular that God brings to my mind more frequently than others. It was hard to even get to the place of saying that I forgave them because the wrong done against me was great; but I got there with God's help and I am grateful because I want to experience God in all of his fulness and holding on to unforgiveness even when it seems justified could never be worth not receiving all God has for me. I haven't been given any details as to why I am being prompted to pray for the person so often...it may just be something God is doing in me and if so I am grateful for that too...I will obey and pray!

1 Corinthians 13 (The Passion Translation)

Love, the Motivation of Our Lives

If I were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the heavenly tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with love, my words would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal.

And if I were to have the gift of prophecy with a profound understanding of God’s hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but have never learned to love, then I am nothing.

And if I were to be so generous as to give away everything I owned to feed the poor, and to offer my body to be burned as a martyr, without the pure motive of love, I would 

gain nothing of value.

Love is large and incredibly patient.  Love is gentle and consistently kind to all.  It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else.  Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.  Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor.  Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense.  Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.  Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others.  Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.

Perfect Love

Love never stops loving.  It extends beyond the gift of prophecy, which eventually fades away.  It is more enduring than tongues, which will one day fall silent.  Love remains long after words of knowledge are forgotten.  Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial, but when love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away.  When I was a child, I spoke about childish matters, for I saw things like a child and reasoned like a child.  But the day came when I matured, and I set aside my childish ways.

For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face.  My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood.  Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love – yet love surpasses them all.  So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.

Be Blessed

 I listened to a message by Robert Heidler of Glory of Zion this morning. In the message he referenced the first three verses of Hebrew chapter 11...I will be reading Hebrew Chpt. 11 again this week. Yesterday I started listened to the Aaronic Blessing and I decided to listen to it daily this week; now I understand why I felt that prompting. The First 3 verses of Hebrews 11 talk about faith being the substance of things hoped for and how faith caused creation the come into the realm of existence or into a realm that we are able to perceive. Robert Heidler said that prayers are already answered in the invisible realm and they are waiting to be downloaded. This made me think of the prayers that have been prayed by our forefathers and how we can prophecy those prayers into manifestation. I am going to make it a point to ask my mother what she prays when she prays for me and I am also going to make sure that I tell my children what I pray for when I pray for them and how to declare those things. Prayer is powerful and there is something extra special about prayers from our parents and our spiritual leaders. Pray blessings over your children, your family and everyone in your life. God tells us in Luke 6:28 to bless even those who curse us and to pray for those who mistreat us; it not only benefits them it benefits us as they draw nearer to Christ. Be blessed in Jesus Christ on today an everyday; I pray that your week is filled with God's presence and it is prosperous.

Hebrews 11

1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2. For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
