So thankful to the Lord for recent license plate: "ILUVIAM" which was a confirmation of the words spoken over me by Jennifer at Larson's house last yr. Staying in the word tears down the walls...as Plumbs song says; " Lord I'm ready now, all the walls are down..."

Plumb - ONE DROP (official lyric)

As Plumb sings, Lord I'm ready now!!! PRUNED...

Posted: 11/02/2014 at 5:35pm | IP Logged November 2, 2014 Course Corrections, Promotion & Destiny By Becky Porter A couple of weeks ago the Lord showed me a vision of a train track, and I saw the train on that track suddenly switch tracks and get onto a new track and begin to go in an entirely different direction, and I sensed that it represented a strong shift taking place, and I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Course Correction.”  I knew it was a corporate word, and I have waited for the Lord to unfold more of this word to me.  Last week, when I was praying with a friend of mine, the Lord told me that as people make the course corrections He is prompting them to make, it will actually be a promotion for them!  Then, today at church, the message was about the course corrections that God sometimes makes in our lives, and when we make those course corrections, He can then bring us forward into our destiny supernaturally quickly, and I was amazed because the message went hand in hand with the vision and word the Lord had given me!  God is so good! The pastor shared a personal testimony with us, and he told us that many years ago he was dating a woman for about 3 years, and they had broken up several different times.  She was very sweet and he really wanted their relationship to work, so he kept praying that the Lord would change her and put a hunger in her heart for the things of God because he had difficulty even getting her to come to church to hear him preach.  One day as he was praying for her, he heard the Lord tell him that He had not ordained their relationship and He was not going to bless it.  It was not what he wanted to hear, but he obeyed the Lord and he did not continue his relationship with her.  However, as time went on he began to feel very lonely, and one night he began to rationalize, “Well, maybe it wouldn’t hurt if we just went to dinner together as friends.”  As he placed his hand on the phone to call her, he heard the Lord say, “If you make this call you are going to have to go around the mountain of testing again.”  He decided to obey the Lord and he did not make that phone call, and a short time later he met his wonderful wife, and she is everything he had been praying that God would make his x-girlfriend!  The two of them compliment each other perfectly, and their God given gifts flow together in an amazing way, and they are truly making a difference in the lives of many - God even opened the door for him to preach on a popular Christian network! Sometimes we may think we are on the right path, but sometimes God desires to do a course correction in our lives and take us in an entirely different direction.  Perhaps it may be a friendship that He wants us to give up because that person is not a good influence in our lives, or perhaps it may be a romantic relationship He wants us to give up because He has someone who is MUCH better suited for us that will help us fulfill our God given destiny, or perhaps He desires us to make a career move, or even move to a different part of the country because that is where the fulfillment of our destiny lies.  Whatever the course correction may possibly be, it is imperative that we daily spend time listening to the Lord, waiting on Him and spending quality time with Him, and then obeying whatever He tells us to do.  God has a destiny for each one of us to fulfill, but sometimes He needs to get us to a different place than where we are currently, and we need to stay in a place of surrender, flexibility, and obedience, and we need to stay in tune and in step with Him. I hear the Lord saying:  My people cry out to me, “Lord, I want to fulfill the destiny you have for me - I will do anything you want me to do – I will give up anything you want me to give up, I will go anywhere you want me to go – just use me."  But then when I begin to do something in their lives that takes them out of their comfort zone, often they begin to walk in fear, doubt, and unbelief, and they think that surely it must be an attack from the enemy and they do not recognize that I am the one who is bringing the shift into their lives and circumstances.  I have a perfect plan for each one of your lives, and I know what I am doing.  Trust Me to bring My purposes to pass in My way and in My timing.  Things are not always what they seem – some things are opposite of how they appear.  Things are not always going to look the way you thought they would look, or feel the way you thought they would feel, or be the way you thought they would be, and I need you to trust Me in spite of what you see, feel and hear because I have a reason for everything I do.  Often My people think I am taking them the long way around, and they fear that it will take a lifetime to fulfill their destiny if they take the path I am prompting them to take, but in actuality they are currently on the WRONG path, (they are on the VERY path that they fear), and if they do not make a course correction now, they may never fulfill their destiny!  I know ALL of the short cuts, and if you follow My lead, we can accomplish in a very short amount of time what would normally take a lifetime to fulfill!  I will not let you fail and I will not let you fall, but I will see you all the way through to the other side where victory awaits you.  Trust Me, and I will do exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask or think! There is a way that sometimes may appear to be the right way, but in the end it leads to "death", and there is a way that sometimes may appear to be the wrong way, but it will lead you to your destiny and the fulfillment of your dreams!  Let Me lead you and guide you through the maze, the mess, the muck and the mire, and I will bring great beauty out of what may now appear to be confusion and chaos, and/or heartache, grief, loneliness and despair.  I have a perfect plan that you will like VERY much!  Trust Me to see you ALL THE WAY THROUGH the last of your desert experience and into My Promised Land of blessings.  I will never leave your side, not even for one moment, but I will walk hand in hand with you every step of the way, and at the appropriate time I will launch you into your destiny at full throttle!  Quickened Song "I Have A Destiny" by Mark Altrogge:  I have a destiny I know I shall fulfill. I have a destiny in that city on a hill. I have a destiny and it’s not an empty wish For I know I was born for such a time as this. Long before the ages You predestined me To walk in all the works You have prepared for me. You’ve given me a part to play in history To help prepare a bride for eternity. I did not choose You, but You have chosen me And appointed me for bearing fruit abundantly. I know You will complete the work begun in me By the power of Your Spirit working mightily. Ephesians 3:20-21 AMP Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams] - To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it). Jeremiah 29:11 NIV “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Proverbs 14:12 NIV There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.   Becky Porter lovetoencourage@yahoo.com

SURE WORD OF READINESS

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Beloved, My children shall dwell in safety.  No plague shall come near their dwelling for they have made dwelling with Me their first priority in their life.  Once you make Me your all-in-all, no weapon formed against you shall prosper.  When you put Me first in your life, all things that the world seeks after will automatically become yours.  I will set a table before you even in the midst of your enemies.  I will even take money out of their pockets and give in to you.

You will remain in safety because you have made me your safe guard.  In the midst of the coming days there will be tragedies unspoken of.  There will be disasters of every sort.  Weapons of warfare will be aimed at My people, but they will remain bold, immovable, with head set like flint against the enemy.  They will say, “thou He slay me, yet I will trust Him.”

They will continue pressing in on the enemy, and he will begin to shake at the determination of My people to press in on him no matter what the cost.  And yes, they will begin to tremble, and in confusion begin to turn on one another.  The same spirit that motivated them that they served is beginning to turn on them.  Because he is not a faithful god, no one can ever trust him.

They were just their pawns used for distraction.  He had no love for them.  And while they are at one another, My people will come in and take over the land, and free the captives, and many will come into My kingdom.  For I know who I gave My life for, and not one of them will be lost.  I paid the price of My shed blood at Calvary that covered over everything that separated them from My Father.

So lift up your heads all you gates.  Let out a mighty cry of victory for the King of Glory is coming through.  It will not be long now!  Be ready, keep looking high, keep believing and expecting, and great things you will see for truly I keep My every word to you.

Lyrics to Something In The Water 

 

He said I've been where you've been before
Down every hallway's a slamming door
No way out, no one to come and save me
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave you
There's somebody saying what I'm saying to you
Open my eyes and told me truth
He said: just a little faith and it'll all get better
So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger
There must've been something in the water
Oh there must've been something in the water
Well I heard what he said and I went on my way
Didn't think about it for a couple of days
Then it hit me like a lightning late one night
I was all out of hoping, all out of fight
Couldn't fight back my tears so I fell on my knees
Saying God if you're there come and rescue me
Fell all pouring down from my dress
Gotta wash in the water, wash in the blur and now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger
There must've been something in the water
Oh there must've been something in the water
And now I'm singing all along to amazing race
Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thinking about it, I saw the heart and looked their head
No turning back, leave everyday, give it all that I have
Trusted someone bigger than me
Ever since the day that I believed I am changed
And now I'm stronger
There must be been something in the water
Oh there must be something in the water
Oh there must be something in the water
Oh there must be something in the water
Oh yeah
I'm stronger
Stronger
I'm free

OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE OF GOD By Gale Maiden
Founder of Father’s Heart Ministry – Moravian Falls, NC

REKINDLING THE FIRE OF LIFE WITHIN

When Christ died and rose to live again (REVIVED FROM THE DEAD), the fire of God was released to destroy the world (cosmos i.e. the evil world systems). The Son of God appeared for this purpose that He might destroy the works of the devil (I John 3:8b). The Apostle Peter wrote, “But the present heavens and earth by His word are being reserved (kept in store) for FIRE, kept for the day of judgment (choice) and destruction of ungodly men.” (2 Pet 3:7, emphasis and parenthesis added, NAS)

The present heavens and earth are now somewhat chaotic as was the heavens and earth in the day in which God decided to renew them. The first Biblical baptism as we understand it happened when God baptized a chaotic, void and dark earth into the Spirit of God. On that creation day. The earth, full of chaos and darkness was baptized into the Spirit of God. God said, “Let there be light.” The earth came out gloriously illuminated and God said, “It is GOOD”.

                       

AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH

Godly baptisms are always for the purpose of bringing something or someone from darkness into light; so it is with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be as we progress toward the consummation of all darkness and sin. Noah received the second major water baptism in the earth. The immersion by water (Noah’s flood) destroyed evil and darkness bringing forth light out of a dark and evil world. We know that the earth will not be baptized again by water but by FIRE. Jesus the Christ has baptized us with the Holy Spirit and FIRE again bringing us into Himself who is the light of the world.

THE FIRE FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH RENEWAL IS AT HAND

The Apostle Peter in his second recorded epistle to the church was declaring the then and now available REVIVAL FIRE of God. Peter was a recipient of the life giving revival fire of God on the day of Pentecost following the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Christ. Fifty days after Christ’s resurrection on the day of Pentecost, the evidence of the available revival fire to consume world systems and to again bring light and life (REVIVAL) was witnessed upon the 120 saints in the upper room.

Pentecost was the first of two key outpourings of the Holy Spirit upon mankind. At the first outpouring called Pentecost the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Jews. The Holy Spirit was poured out about three and one half years later to the Gentiles (The end of the Prophet Daniel’s seventieth week). After the outpouring of the Holy Spirit also to the Gentiles the power of God was in position (available) to bring forth the one-new man…Jew and Gentile (<Ephesians 2:15>; Galatians 3:26-29).

The 120 saints tarrying in the upper room were commanded prior to the Feast of Pentecost to wait in Jerusalem and were told, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." (Acts 1:8, NAS)

THE NATURE OF THE HOLY GHOST AND FIRE

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is described as a noise like a violent rushing wind which filled the whole house where they (120 saints) were sitting. TONGUES AS OF FIRE appeared and rested on each of them. The Holy Spirit filled each of them and they began to speak with other tongues and the Holy Spirit gave them utterance.

And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent, rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them TONGUES AS OF FIRE distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. (Acts 2:1-4, emphasis added, NAS)

The word of God is all power. It is easily seen that the purpose of the Holy Spirit is communication and power. The holy God inspired word of God is a powerful consuming fire. In Acts 1:8 (see above) we are told the purpose of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit empowers us to truthfully attest to (be an actual witness) of the person of Jesus the Christ of God in His people throughout the earth.

END OF THE WORLD…WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

This gospel or good news of the availability of the Holy Spirit and fire in Jesus the Christ will be attested to throughout the earth and then the end will come (Matthew 24:14). The same Peter which received the Holy Spirit and FIRE later wrote, “For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to {the will of} God. THE END OF ALL THINGS IS AT HAND; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober {spirit} for the purpose of prayer.” (1 Pet 4:6-7, emphasis added, NAS)

The phrase at hand was used by both Jesus and John the Baptist to describe the Kingdom of God. We know that the Kingdom of God was at hand when both Jesus and John were preaching such. The same at hand phrase is used by Peter to denote that the end of all things is at hand. We know that if anything is described as being at hand it means that we can reach out and hold or grasp it.

The Apostle Peter wrote almost exclusively concerning the finished work of the cross. The major theme of Peter’s writings is the vicarious death of Jesus on the cross which we know provided total freedom from sin. Peter wrote that we have been totally REVIVED into life and are no longer under the influence of sin. Peter wrote, “Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh HAS CEASED FROM SIN, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.” (I Pet 4:1-2, emphasis added, NAS)              

IS GOD GOING TO POUR OUT AGAIN

HIS HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE TO THE CHURCH?

Is there another outpouring remaining or were these two outpourings sufficient to bring an end to the present evil world systems? The FIRE of God given on the Day of Pentecost to the Jew and subsequent FIRE given to the Gentile has been and is now available to bring an end to sin and death and to REVIVE all who will receive the Holy Spirit and FIRE.

Is it Biblical to pray for subsequent outpourings of the Holy Spirit such as were witnessed on the Day of Pentecost and to the Gentile? Again, were those two outpourings sufficient to empower the body of Christ to overcome sin and death? I believe we must rethink our current understanding concerning the Holy Ghost and fire revival desired by so many precious saints. We often criticize societies’ “instant everything” mentality yet subsequent to the two outpourings of the Holy Spirit we may NOW (instantly) rekindle the Holy Spirit and FIRE of God within us at any time we choose. How instant is now? Wow…wasn’t that quick?

The word of God tells us that, “We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation.” (II Corinthians 6:2, emphasis added, NKJ)

Yes is the answer to the above question, “Is it Biblical to pray for subsequent outpourings of the Holy Spirit?” My hope is that this type of prayer will bring a deeper revelation from God that the Holy Spirit and fire of God is in us and only needs rekindling and maintenance. Those crying out for revival obviously believe that God wants to revive us but the stumbling block is that they do not know that revival has been available since the two outpourings described above and now resides in us. The Spirit of Grace and fire for revival is in place and God is simply saying to us that we are not to receive this grace in vain but to realize that NOW is the accepted time…TODAY is the day of salvation (See scripture above).

STIR INTO FLAMES OF FIRE THE LIFE OF GOD

FOUND IN HIS GRACE

In view of the frequent modern use of "revive" and "revival," which use mostly lends itself to a future event, it is worthy of notice that The Apostle Paul, a true spiritual father, wrote to his spiritual son Timothy the following: “And for this reason I remind you to KINDLE AFRESH THE GIFT (CHARIS / GRACE) OF GOD WHICH IS IN YOU through the laying on of my hands.” (II Timothy 1:6, emphasis added, NAS)

Kindle means to: catch fire; cause to start burning; call forth (emotions, feelings, and responses). To kindle afresh in this verse is the Greek word anazopureo and is derived from two words respectively meaning to stir up the fire or rekindle the fire bringing forth life. The word fire used here is the same Greek word used by John the Baptist when he said that Jesus would baptize us in the Holy Ghost and fire.

We too often merely pray for revivals, forgetting that it is for us to stir into flame and fire the gift of the Spirit of life which we have already received of God. It is ours from Him, but we let it lie dormant, as a mere slumbering ember.

A REVIVAL OF THE FATHERS AND CHILDR)EN –

REKINDLING THE FIRE

Since the two outpourings of the Holy Spirit, God has seen to it that we presently have a foundational flame which we are to rekindle and maintain. Generational flames i.e. the eternal flame of the Spirit of God has never gone out. This flame is to be rekindled and maintained as declared by father Paul to his son Timothy. The first major or significant dream given to me by God many years ago, I was shown that the flame of God in the Methodist Church brought forth by John Wesley and others has not gone out. This flame will be rekindled bringing forth great light.

The father and son relationship demonstrated by the Apostle Paul with his spiritual son Timothy is a clear picture of the ongoing revival fire needed to bring every believer and non-believer into a full salvation. Malachi’s prophecy of the present spirit of Elijah which is now turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children’s hearts to the fathers was fervently working in the days of Paul and Timothy. Oh what intimacy and love demonstrated by Paul to Timothy and vice versa.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus, to Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy {and} peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the WAY MY FOREFATHERS DID, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day, longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy. (II Timothy 1:1-4, emphasis & parenthesis added, NAS)

The Apostle Paul made sure to remind Timothy that the generational eternal flame of God had not gone out. The holy spirit of faith had been imparted to timothy from both his grandmother and mother.

For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that {it is} in you as well. (I Timothy 1:5, NAS)

The Gift of which Paul is asking Timothy to rekindle is the Greek word charis which is grace. The flame or FIRE of LIFE AND REVIVAL is called the GRACE OF GOD.

And for this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the GIFT (GRACE) of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. (II Timothy 1:6, emphasis added, NAS)

Why are we waiting on REVIVAL? John 1:14-16 says that Jesus Christ is full of grace and truth and that of His fullness have we received grace for grace. My Lord and my God…revival fire is in us and it is called grace! Grace is the ability of God in us to accomplish all that He desires in our lives.  Our God of grace is also the God of truth. As we abide in the word of God we know the truth and the truth makes us FREE. REVIVAL is freedom from sin and death wrought by the grace of God…grace in fullness which abides in us. REVIVAL is to again have life and freedom. REVIVAL is to walk free of condemnation, guilt and shame.

SHAME…THE ENEMY OF REVIVAL

Paul next in his letter to Timothy tells us that the perennial (repeated) enemy of REVIVAL is shame.

For God has not given us a SPIRIT OF TIMIDITY (shamefacedness), but (a spirit) of power and (a spirit of) love and (a spirit of) discipline. Therefore DO NOT BE ASHAMED of the testimony of our Lord, or of me His prisoner; but join with {me} in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God. (II Timothy 1:7-8, emphasis added, NAS)

Because of the revival fire of grace in us we have a spirit of power (dunamis), a spirit of love and a spirit of discipline. Therefore we do not have to be ashamed of our sufferings because our sufferings are according to (in accordance with) the power of God. What in the world does this mean? It means that the very victorious nature of the revival fire power of grace exposes us to temptation which is Biblical suffering. Know this…that we win by the always sufficient grace of God. Where sin abounds…grace (REVIVAL FIRE) does always abound more. The consuming fire of God’s grace always destroys the wood, hay and stubble which have been built on another foundation other than that which is laid…the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember…the greatest killer of God’s people is shame; but know that god did not give us this spirit! We are loving, powerful and disciplined.

WHAT ABOUT PAST REVIVALS?

My wife and I helped to establish a church in Virginia in 1987. We prayed for revival and God honored our prayers. God touched the heart of a Pastor from out of town to come and help minister. This revival changed the whole atmosphere in the area and continues to this day to bear good fruit. We therefore know that crying out for revival does move the heart of God.

I am not saying that God cannot use brief revelations and manifestations of Himself. I am saying that from my perspective, I see revival as a way of life. I see revival as a family and whole body of Christ life style. Real revival is the result of constantly provoking the body of Christ to rekindle and maintain the already in the heart LIFE FIRE OF GOD. This real revival is now being led by fathers with the heart of God for the children.

The revivals of old like Cain Ridge, the Welsh revival and others continue imparting life and fire to this day. We are all recipients in some manner of the Holy Spirit impartations rekindled initially and maintained. Revival does not cease because the external manifestations and appearances change. Our attempts to box God into a modus operandi (an unvarying or habitual method) for revival will not work. Again, I am saying that revival is a life style and should reflect the unique infinite life giving attributes of God’s personalities inherit in His creation.

WE SHOULD LIVE IN CONSTANT REVIVAL

A few good hearted people recently suggested that I go to Lakeland, Florida for an impartation of the “revival fire”. First of all, I bore no Holy Spirit witness that I was to go. This does not mean that others were not called to go.  As we all know there was a strange fire in at least some of the leadership over this “revival”. I know as well that many who truly love God and believed God for an impartation truly received God’s fire from these meetings.

CHARGE – Rekindling the Fire

As I have said, there is a father to children and children to father revival that is happening. We as fathers are to constantly rekindle our flames of life giving grace and are to remind and provoke all to do the same. I have preached the grace of God for nearly a quarter of a century and now I know that I am a true revivalist and so are you. Stir up the grace of God that is in you and stir others. REVIVAL is here!

Why is it important to heed this revelation of revival fire/life in His Grace? Because it is a FULL SALVATION that is the prize of the high calling of God on our lives. Full salvation is wrought only in his grace which produces resurrection now from the dead.

The Apostle Paul boldly declared the reason for his Holy Spirit and fire boldness was that God had saved us, called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and GRACE which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all of eternity. Paul then said that this grace unto a full salvation has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, WHO ABOLISHED DEATH, and brought LIFE AND IMMORTALITY to light through the gospel (II Timothy 1:9-12). Paul then says that therefore he is not ashamed of the gospel for the gospel is the FIREPOWER AND LIFE of God unto a full salvation.

CHARGE – Maintaining the Fire

The Apostle Paul told Timothy, as we have expounded, to REKINDLE THE GRACE within. Paul on another occasion wrote the following most important exhortation to Timothy. This exhortation will guarantee all a full salvation if heeded. We are saved by the rekindled fire of life…grace! We keep the fire burning by doing the following.

I Timothy 4:14-16 (NAS, emphasis & parenthesis added)

14           Do not neglect the spiritual gift (grace – the rekindled fire of life) within you, which was bestowed upon you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery.

15           Take pains with these things; be {absorbed} in them, so that your progress may be evident to all.

16           Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things; for as you do this…

you will insure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.

Character, Character and Character unto Glory

 

God's mantle is His character and glory. The character and glory of God is developed in us by an intimate relationship with God called the anointing. A mantle in the natural is a cloak or outer garment for covering the body. A mantle is used symbolically in the Bible as the righteous call and covering of God in fulfilling our destinies.

 

The Prophet Elisha received the Prophet Elijah's mantle…the character and glory of God given to Elijah (I Kings 19:19).

 

Mantle Realized in Holy Spirit and Power Anointing

 

Over a period of time, Elisha by the anointing given him through his relationship with Elijah the man of God, eventually qualified and received a double portion of the spirit anointing upon Elijah. Elijah saw in Elisha's spirit a great calling and sought to bring it forth into a full-fledged mantle. Also Elisha saw the character and nature of God in Elijah's spirit and sought it with all that was within. Elisha said several times to Elijah, "As the Lord lives and my soul lives I will not depart from you (Elijah)."

 

The anointing in spirit and power comes upon God's chosen when the mantle is fully realized. Elijah said to Elisha, "If you see me the anointing is yours…if not you cannot have it." Elisha was required to see the character and glory of God our Father in the spirit of the Prophet Elijah.

 

My Father, My Father…

 

Elisha saw that which was required by God in order to fully possess the spirit of Elijah mantle as his own. Elisha' declaration at the moment Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind was proof enough that he saw properly. Elisha did and said…

 

And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.  Elisha saw it and cried out, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" 2 Kings 2:11-12 NASB

 

Elisha saw the fullness of the spirit of Elijah's mantle. Elisha called Elijah father and associated him with the protection of Israel, the children of God. The mantle of the spirit of Elijah is the Father's heart in protecting Israel. Elisha came into the fullness of his mantle.

 

Jesus' Mantle…Savior of the World

 

It might be said that the mantle points towards our destiny and calling and the anointing is proof of the mantle. Jesus at age 30 was fully anointed at the River Jordan and announced such a bit later in the temple. The mantle of God had been cast upon Jesus at his birth and thirty years later the fullness of his anointed relationship and mantle with God was revealed.

 

The process of coming into the fullness of the anointing began when the Angel Gabriel said to Mary the mother of Jesus, "You shall call (invite) his name (identity) Jesus." Jesus means Yahweh saves! Every time the name Jesus was spoken it was in reality calling for Jesus to come into the fullness of his mantle in demonstration by the anointing (Christ, Messiah). The name Jesus Christ literally means Yahweh saves by the anointing. Glory to God forevermore!

 

Let Us Do the Mantle of God to His Glory

 

We are called having had the mantle of God cast upon us. Seek the fulfillment of your mantle; receiving and continuing your anointed relationship with our heavenly Father.

 

The spirit of Elijah is restoring all things through righteous and loving Father and son heart relationship (Matthew 17:11, Mark 9:12).

 

God desires to be fully identified by our mantle and the anointing!

 

You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about (in the fullness of his mantle) doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.  Acts 10:38 NASB

I hear the Lord saying:  Things are about to pick up speed in a way that will startle and amaze you!  Things you have hoped for, prayed for, and stood, and waited for are SUDDENLY going to come to pass!  Harvest time awaits you – the harvest doors are about to be opened, and oh, the abundance of harvest blessings that await you!  Your steadfastness and tenacity have paid off - I am well pleased with your progress and your “stick to it” attitude – you did not give up, even in the midst of great adversity.  Well done, My good and faithful one – well done!
Your rewards will far outweigh all of the difficulty that you have walked through, and all that you have learned and gleaned from those experiences has positioned you and prepared you for what lies ahead.  If you had not walked through those great difficulties and adverse circumstances, you would not be equipped for the destiny and future that I have prepared for you.  You have learned much and you have grown much – there is a wealth of knowledge on the inside of you that is a fountain of life that I am going to begin to pull up and pour out on those who have need of it.  The wisdom I have placed inside of you far exceeds your natural age, and I will use that wisdom to minister to the young and the old, the learned and the unlearned, those who have position and rank, and those who do not.  It is a supernatural fountain of life that will spring forth from deep within you and pour into the desert places wherever you encounter them.  Do not pay attention to the giants in the land, for wherever there is new territory, there are always new obstacles to overcome, but remember that I have placed within you every single thing you need for every situation you will ever encounter – you lack absolutely nothing!
There is a newness of life on the inside of you, and it will spring forth as a never-ending fountain of life that will satisfy the thirsty, the hungry, and the weary.  I will bring those to you who are in need, and as they begin to share their hearts with you, it will tap into the rich wells of life I have placed within you, and those living waters will begin to pour forth in ways that will surprise, amaze, and delight you!  You will immediately recognize that I AM The Fountain Of Life within you, and I AM the One who gives the people what they need.  Without Me you can do nothing, but with Me, you can do ALL THINGS!  As you continue to spend intimate time in My Word and in My presence, you will have an abundance of fresh and living waters continuously pouring forth from your innermost being.
John 7:38 AMP

Winds Of Change - Spirit Fuel Event

“You must learn to make your evils your great good; and to spin comforts, peace, joy, communion with Christ, out of your troubles, which are Christ's wooers, sent to speak for you from Himself.”

“...whether God come to his children with a rod or a crown, if he come himself with it, it is well. Welcome, welcome Jesus, what way soever thou come, if we can get a sight of thee. And sure I am, it is better to be sick, providing Christ come to the bed-side, and draw aside the curtains, and say 'Courage, I am thy salvation,' than to enjoy health, being lusty and strong, and never to be visited of God.”

“[M]ake much of the written word, and pray to God to copy his Bible in your conscience, and write a new book of his doctrine in your hearts.”
― Samuel Rutherford

October 25, 2014 Supernatural Upgrade We are living in an time of a major acceleration in technology. People want to have the latest and fastest computers, cell phones and HD TV's. As soon as a new product comes along, people will look for the latest upgrade. Some have even waited on lines for countless hours to buy the latest gadgets. In the Spirit realm the Holy Spirit is releasing an acceleration that far supersedes all man made devices. He wants to take us out of the place of complacency and bring us into the place of authority. He wants to take our minds off the natural realm, and bring us into the the supernatural realm. He wants to use every one of us to advance His kingdom. He showed me an adult riding a tricycle. Many of you have outgrown the place that you are in spiritually, but you don't realize it. You have become comfortable in your walk with the Lord, but there is a greater level that He wants to bring you into. It is time for a supernatural upgrade. The Lord says; I am inviting those of you who have been spiritually dormant to come up to a higher place. I have greater things for you to accomplish. Don't look to man for revelation. Don't idolize those who have great gifts because I desire to use you in a greater way. By staying idle you are delaying yourself from the plans and purposes that I have ordained for you. My plan is to take you out of idle mode, and release you into fast forward. This is the season to move forward to fulfill My plans and purposes. Just as Joshua and Caleb went forth with great faith and determination, I have given you power and authority to rise up and take the land. I am calling Lazarus to come out from among the dead, throw off his grave clothes and walk in his destiny. Shake off the mediocrity and come in to the fullness of what I have for you. Don't allow unbelievers to discourage you with their words of doubt. Don't allow sinners to entice you into their foolish ways. Take no offense when you are confronted with the views and opinions of others, but recognize who I have created you to be. Never compromise who you are and what you believe in, but take a stand for righteousness at all times. It is time for My people to let their voices to be heard. As My light is exposed, the darkness will instantly lose its power. Do not be concerned about your reputation and do not fear the spirit of anti-Christ because you were called with a purpose and you have been called to greatness. I am looking for yielded vessels who will walk in humility, submit to My leading, and live a life of boldness as well as holiness. As you humble yourselves before Me, and seek Me in intimacy, you will be amazed at what I will do with your life in the days ahead says the Lord. Numbers 13: 33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight." Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. Hebrews 5: 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

THE SEASON OF TRAVAIL: Blow the trumpet in Zion!


My Beloved ones, It is time to travail for my Kingdom to manifest fully on the Earth. I am bringing forth a season of great travail to manifest in my own ones that will hear my heartbeat. They will hear my voice in the wee hours of the morning or even at midday. They will come and allow me to pray through them like never before overtime I call.

Young and old alike will hear my voice. I am awakening in them for such a time as this. The youth will be awakened and cry out to me in the middle of their sleep. They will hear me in their school yards and begin to cry out to me in travail for me to come,  and I will pour my spirit out upon all flesh.They will see my Glory! It is time!

It is time my love to put away the small things that seem so big in your life. It is time to understand the moment you are living in. Everything is about to change and that change is coming more rapidly then you are ready for. You will not be ready if you don’t allow me to travail in you and through you. For when you know not what to pray, my Spirit will pray through you with groaning and utterances.

My Servant Paul wrote this to the Roman Christians: “So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.”

27 And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will. (Romans 8:26-27)


This is my launching pad to take you higher in me. I must take you deeper into my heart so you can understand the things that are coming hereafter. Through travail the eyes of your understanding shall be enlightened. The ears of your Spirit will be sensitive to my whispers.

Through groaning and travail will I give you strategies and wisdom beyond human intelligence. Through travail will I reveal to you the secrets and the mysteries of my Kingdom needed for this hour. Through travail you will walk in the invisible dimension of my glory as it will be truly seen upon you.

Beloveds, I don’t want you caught unprepared, and I don’t want this day to come upon you like a thief in the night. I want you ready, prepared, armed and positioned for my purposes to be revealed upon the Earth. It is time for you to travail

It is time in the nation to do what I told the prophet Joel to the children of Israel. It is time to truly travail and seek my face. Hear my servant Joel:

12 Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored].

13 Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil [when His conditions are met].

14 Who knows but what He will turn, revoke your sentence [of evil], and leave a blessing behind Him [giving you the means with which to serve Him], even a cereal or meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord, your God?

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; set apart a fast [a day of restraint and humility]; call a solemn assembly.

16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation; assemble the elderly people, gather the children and the nursing infants; let the bridegroom [who is legally exempt from attending] go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her closet. [None is exempt from the humiliation.]

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, Have pity and spare Your people, O Lord, and give not Your heritage to reproach, that the [heathen] nations should rule over them or use a byword against them. Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?

18 Then was the Lord jealous for His land and had pity on His people. (Joel 2:12-18)

Yes, do you hear the trumpet sound? It is time to travail in your hearts. It is time to come to me not just with a request or a petition, but to come to me WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH FASTING, WITH WEEPING, AND WITH MORNING FOR THIS NATION, FOR THE CHURCH IN THIS NATION UNTIL EVERY HINDRANCE IS REMOVED AND THE BROKEN FELLOWSHIP BETWEEN US IS RESTORED.

For many of you are blaming the state of this nation on the politicians, but you have not seen I have given you a government that you wanted. I gave you one like I did with Israel when they wanted an earthly king instead of me as their king.

So I gave them a king like what was in their own hearts, yet they would not repent. So I chose a King for myself. A shepherd boy to lead my people.A man after my own heart. Why have you deserted me my people? Why have you abandoned me your first love. Why do you put your faith in the eloquence of world leaders and church leaders who speak large words but inside our whitewashed tombs?

Should you have not come to ME? You should have said like my servant David, “Search me Oh God and try my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in you. For my people in this land want all I have but also the world has to offer so they are lukewarm and have fallen far from my presence. They have resisted the work of my Holy Spirit Baptism of fire that would have purified their hearts and nature. They traded the Glory of their God for gifts and the blessings of the Lord alone.

How long will it take to get your attention? I am blowing my trumpet in Zion this day. I am sounding an alarm in my Holy Mountain. Who can ascend the mountain of the Lord? He that has clean hands and pure hearts.

Let the intercessors arise. Let the watchman get back on the wall. Let the scribes take up their place. Let the singers and musicians make their music of travail. For this is the time to diligently seek Me. This is the time you must put away all the childish things and seek my face like never before. You must not cry out for the politicians, but you must cry out for yourselves to REPENT and MAKE THE CROOKED WAYS STRAIGHT IN YOUR HEARTS.

You must rend your hearts and not your garments and you must come to me with the utmost seriousness and abandonment  of heart. You must come with fasting, weeping, and prayer and cry out to me: HAVE PITY ON YOUR PEOPLE OH LORD, WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU!OH LORD DO NOT GIVE YOUR INHERITANCE TO REPROACH! THE NATIONS MUST NEVER SAY OF US, WHERE IS YOUR GOD? FOR I AM YOUR GOD THE I AM THAT IAM.

Who will hear the cry to come up here with me? Who will rend their hearts because of the condition of my people in this nation? Who will come and keep on coming to me with fasting and weeping until every hindrance of broken fellowship is removed

It will take this type of commitment to bring the deliverance you surely need. Who will hear my call to seek me? Who will humble themselves in the sight of the Lord? Who will be my people called by name that will humble themselves, seek my face and pray and turn from their evil ways so I can hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.

It is not to late for you in the nation, but the clock is ticking, ticking and ticking and time is to short to wait any longer. Blow the trumpet in Zion. It is a time to travail. It is time to allow my spirit to travail through you to tear down the plans and strategies of the enemy.

Only this type of radical seeking me, hearing me, following me and allowing me to lead you to battle will change the tide of this nation. There is no other way. There is no other plan accept me uttering my voice before my army and my army following me into battle.

Your ways will never work. Political ways will never work. Religious ways will never work, ONLY MY WAYS WORK and you must must know MY WAYS, if you are going to stand and overcome in the hour that is now upon you. So it is time to travail. It is time to rend your hearts and not your garments. It is time for the INTERCESSION OF HEAVEN TO CHANGE THE EARTH!

It is time through travail that I will raise up My STANDARD UPON THE EARTH!  “So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].” (Is 59:19)

Will you hear my call to come? Will you hear my call to come up here, so I can show you the things hereafter? Will you allow my Spirit to work the deepest brokenness and humility to cry out for this nation?

Will you see the sin that is in my house and cry out to me in true repentance for deserting me your first love? Will you cry out to me because of the compromise in my house? Will you see your own true spiritual condition and rend your hearts and not your garments.

I want to bring healing and restoration to this nation, but it will never be on your terms. Even now, I can turn the tide of this nation from being overrun by the enemy to become a lighthouse again filled with the Glory and true knowledge of the Lord?

But who will hear me? Who will cry out to me in travail? Who will understand that is not by might, nor by power, but by Spirit says the Lord. The time of travail is here. Who will hear what the Spirit of God is saying to you in this moment? Selah!

Plumb - Lord I'm Ready Now (Official Lyric Video)

Prophesy Beyond March 2014 by John Paul Jackson

8At last Daniel came in before me, and I told him the dream. (He was named Belteshazzar after my god, and the spirit of the holy gods is in him.)

9“I said to him, ‘Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is too great for you to solve. Now tell me what my dream means.

10“‘While I was lying in my bed, this is what I dreamed. I saw a large tree in the middle of the earth. 11The tree grew very tall and strong, reaching high into the heavens for all the world to see. 12It had fresh green leaves, and it was loaded with fruit for all to eat. Wild animals lived in its shade, and birds nested in its branches. All the world was fed from this tree.

13“‘Then as I lay there dreaming, I saw a messenger,^d a holy one, coming down from heaven. 14The messenger shouted,

“Cut down the tree and lop off its branches!

Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit!

Chase the wild animals from its shade

and the birds from its branches.

15But leave the stump and the roots in the ground,

bound with a band of iron and bronze

and surrounded by tender grass.

Now let him be drenched with the dew of heaven,

and let him live with the wild animals among the plants of the field.

16For seven periods of time,

let him have the mind of a wild animal

instead of the mind of a human.

17For this has been decreed by the messengers^e;

it is commanded by the holy ones,

so that everyone may know

that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world.

He gives them to anyone he chooses—

even to the lowliest of people.”

18“‘Belteshazzar, that was the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had. Now tell me what it means, for none of the wise men of my kingdom can do so. But you can tell me because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.’

Daniel Explains the Dream

19“Upon hearing this, Daniel (also known as Belteshazzar) was overcome for a time, frightened by the meaning of the dream. Then the king said to him, ‘Belteshazzar, don’t be alarmed by the dream and what it means.’

“Belteshazzar replied, ‘I wish the events foreshadowed in this dream would happen to your enemies, my lord, and not to you! 20The tree you saw was growing very tall and strong, reaching high into the heavens for all the world to see. 21It had fresh green leaves and was loaded with fruit for all to eat. Wild animals lived in its shade, and birds nested in its branches. 22That tree, Your Majesty, is you. For you have grown strong and great; your greatness reaches up to heaven, and your rule to the ends of the earth.

23“‘Then you saw a messenger, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, “Cut down the tree and destroy it. But leave the stump and the roots in the ground, bound with a band of iron and bronze and surrounded by tender grass. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven. Let him live with the animals of the field for seven periods of time.”

24“‘This is what the dream means, Your Majesty, and what the Most High has declared will happen to my lord the king. 25You will be driven from human society, and you will live in the fields with the wild animals. You will eat grass like a cow, and you will be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven periods of time will pass while you live this way, until you learn that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world and gives them to anyone he chooses. 26But the stump and roots of the tree were left in the ground. This means that you will receive your kingdom back again when you have learned that heaven rules.

27“‘King Nebuchadnezzar, please accept my advice. Stop sinning and do what is right. Break from your wicked past and be merciful to the poor. Perhaps then you will continue to prosper.’

The Dream’s Fulfillment

28“But all these things did happen to King Nebuchadnezzar. 29Twelve months later he was taking a walk on the flat roof of the royal palace in Babylon. 30As he looked out across the city, he said, ‘Look at this great city of Babylon! By my own mighty power, I have built this beautiful city as my royal residence to display my majestic splendor.’

31“While these words were still in his mouth, a voice called down from heaven, ‘O King Nebuchadnezzar, this message is for you! You are no longer ruler of this kingdom. 32You will be driven from human society. You will live in the fields with the wild animals, and you will eat grass like a cow. Seven periods of time will pass while you live this way, until you learn that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world and gives them to anyone he chooses.’

33“That same hour the judgment was fulfilled, and Nebuchadnezzar was driven from human society. He ate grass like a cow, and he was drenched with the dew of heaven. He lived this way until his hair was as long as eagles’ feathers and his nails were like birds’ claws.

Nebuchadnezzar Praises God

34“After this time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever.

His rule is everlasting,

and his kingdom is eternal.

35All the people of the earth

are nothing compared to him.

He does as he pleases

among the angels of heaven

and among the people of the earth.

No one can stop him or say to him,

‘What do you mean by doing these things?’

36“When my sanity returned to me, so did my honor and glory and kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored as head of my kingdom, with even greater honor than before.

37“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud.”
