Demolition before Upgrade!

I was at lunch today with a sister who has been through an amazingly hard year. I cannot even describe all she and her husband, have been though, in almost every area of their lives. Some things just bizarre, and occurring in a seemingly relentless, and often simultaneous manor. But as I was sharing with her today, I told her I was able to see in both of them a new strengthening, establishing, and UPGRADE coming their way! The manifestations of the spiritual upgrades were actually sequential of physical upgrades now coming to their home. As I said, they had one issue, after another appear, sometimes simultaneously. Many things needed to be demolished, fixed, removed, replaced, and upgraded. The list went on and on, at home and at work. Looking back now, she did admit that if the first event, had never happened, (a flood) more serious issues would not have been uncovered. But at first it looked like, ‘chicken little the sky is falling’! What blessed me even more was that she was encou

Spiritual Firecrackers

I was talking to someone this AM, and all of a sudden, I heard the LORD say, “I am anointing my people to be SPIRITUAL FIRECRACKERS”. I felt this was not just an anointing, but also a mantle He is placing on His forerunners. Firecrackers are not just loud, they are beautiful; people are drawn to them, and they bring light to the darkness. He is doing this for His elect that will when HE says “jump”, they say, ‘How High’! These are forerunners that will Magnify and proclaim His name. They are bold, humble, and walk in radical obedience, Holiness and RADICAL FAITH! He is taking us to a new level of hearing His Voice and then acting, sometimes without confirmation ahead, instead it will be after. This will really be novel to those of us that like all of out corners, ‘nipped and tucked’. He will not disappoint! New track records of this Radical Faith will dispel all present and future fear. Firecrackers are also launched simultaneously, and in specific timing, and unity! Every one of His

Fractured By the FALL, Mended by the CROSS!

FRACTURED BY THE FALL According to Merriam Webster, the definition of fracture is as follows: "Fracture" 1: the result of fracturing : BREAK 2a: the act or process of breaking or the state of being broken Synonyms for fracture include: break, break up, bust, disintegrate, dismember, disrupt, fragment. Doesn’t this describe what has happened in our world today? From the beginning of time as we know it, when man and woman fell in the Garden, relationships and people have suffered fractures. In the Garden, the most significant fracture that was experienced, was with God, Himself. Then the family unit, fractured from GOD and from each other. The rest is history. ALL of us have suffered ‘breaks and “fracturing” in our lives to some degree, at one time or another. I believe Jesus wants us to work through and embrace that brokenness. He wants us to look at it as an opportunity for us to be catapulted too the next level in what He has for us! One of the things the Lord has been talki

Game Changers are Thermostats, NOT Thermometers!

May 5, 2021   Today, we are talking about Thermostats! Why? I believe that in order to be a Game Changer, you've got to be like a Thermostat and NOT a Thermometer! "While a thermometer is a tool to read a room’s temperature, a thermostat is able to control it. Whether it’s wall or boiler-mounted, this control dial is essential for regulating your home’s temperature." Let’s take a deeper look at what a thermostat is, what types of thermostats there are and how they work. In the natural, one can set the stat to the desired temperature, and when the temperature rises or dips, the mechanics of the thermostat is triggered, to either raise or lower the room temperature. So, how does this concept operate in the spiritual realm?! Well first, the LORD, Himself in His Word has described how our own individual temperatures should be in Revelation 3: "I know all that you do, and I know that you are neither frozen in apathy nor fervent with passion. How I wish you were ei

What’s In Your Cloak?

"WILL YOU LAY YOUR CLOAK DOWN, OR JUST WAVE?" Then an exceptionally large crowd gathered and carpeted the road before him with their cloaks and prayer shawls. Others cut down branches from trees to spread in his path. {Matthew 21:8 in The Passion Translation} As many times as I have seen the scripture and celebrated in Palm Sunday services, I have never paid much attention to anything but the Palm Branches being waved, and shouts of Hosanna until a dear sister in the Lord and I were speaking about this verse. She had mentioned that The Lord had especially highlighted to her the Shawls used to cover the road as Jesus came into Jerusalem. It started to get me thinking... Here is some history about the Shawls: "The Tallit is a garment worn by those of Jewish faith as a symbol of communal solidarity and devotion to their God. The Tallit (prayer shawl) was to remind the Jews of the Commandments of the Torah. The numerical value of the word Tzitzit (fringes) on the

Is It Always The Devil??

Have you ever heard the statement, ‘If you are getting resistance in your life as a Christian, or a minister’, you must be doing something right? Another words, the more the opposition, the more the devil is trying to upstage, what God is doing in your life. You are automatically assumed to be on the ‘right track’. Yikes! Dangerous thinking! Recently I have started hearing this again, as if that statement is a guidepost for discerning the will of God in one’s life. This could be a dangerous assumption, and be more trouble that the oppositions one is facing. What about Job? Yes, God did give the devil permission to cause all the havoc and loss, for Job. He was, I believe wanting to reveal Job’s righteousness to the enemy. I also believe He was also testing Job, and his friends. But GOD “was in” that persecution from the enemy.  I believe, God dumped enormous grace, on Job to be able sojourn that difficult journey. In the end Job was rewarded double, and regained all that he lost. My own
