SOME WELL KEPT SECRETS
Many of us are just that...Well Kept Secrets! And it is indeed well as long as it is the Lord keeping you a secret until His time of openly and publicly revealing His hand upon you. Of course, this is God's safety measure for you, and for the Body of Christ, and for the public at large when He has you on the potter's wheel during your breaking and molding process.
So often, you were being used extensively during this process over long periods of time, but hid right in the open. Father was working out many facets of your life and calling during those seasons. He was checking your humility while He was healing more people through the love and anointing in your life than He was through your Pastor's or Spiritual Leader's life. He was checking your trust concerning His timing for you. He was trying Proverbs 3:5,6 on you for a proper fit. He was checking to see if your gifts and anointings were about you or Him. And most of all it just was not yet your time to be brought to the forefront. It was not yet your "for such a time as this" even though the Lord was opening and closing the heavens through you, and answering your faith and prayers at every turn.
Over the years, I have had "known" Church leaders to ask me "Just who are you?" after God spoke to them about me. Well, they were always amazed as to why I was not on the public scene according to what Holy Spirit revealed to them about my place in the Kingdom. I simply kept in step with the Lord. Some "leaders" have referred to me as "a secret weapon." Well, whatever the case, the Kingdom of God consists of far more anointed and appointed and ordained and specialized vessels than are presently "on the scene." His army, as is His Kingdom, is vast! God has been waiting for us to get over personality worship; so that we can discern Him in whomever He has taken up residence.
For God to keep some vessels as "well kept secrets" is one thing, but for others to do so poses other questions. What is your reason for concealing who the Lord healed you through because the vessel was unknown or just your next door neighbor? What is the reason that you won't tell whose prayer God answered in your behalf after you couldn't get a breakthrough yourself? Why do you feel it necessary to posture on social media as if it is just you and God running the universe? God has many sold-out, set-aside vessels as He had to remind Elijah regardless to what measure of making and molding and dying out of flesh that you have endued...so have many others because God will never be without witnesses to His Greatness and His Worthiness.
I was prompted to share this insight because the Lord has been speaking to me even more here lately that I am a "well kept secret" among people that have consistently been blessed, healed, delivered and set free through the mantle and authority in my life. They simply won't tell others about who the Lord used, or they will lie and give an alternative answer. I have been a witness to this kind of deceit. Years ago, the Lord sent me to a church member's home to release a deliverance and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was such a powerful release and overshadowing that even when I left the home two hours later the person was still under the spirit, just praising and speaking in tongues. He said that he had been asking God to do that for him and was humbled that God would come to him in that manner. Well, would you believe that I was visiting at his church, a mega church at that time, when he testified that those blessings had taken place there at his church. Somehow, when he spoke that lie, his eyes fell upon me sitting in the congregation, and I saw fear fall on him. Before the year ended, he was diagnosed with full blown Aids and deteriated speedily. Why can't we just receive God however He comes to us? I believe that our days of "celebrity worship" are drawing to a quick close.
Whatever we do, let's not keep the Love of God a secret fom the world!

ABORTION
Recently, I have been confronted with the reality of multi abortions in the lives of many women, even "Christian" women. Some women subject themselves to as many as five to six abortions which is simply unimaginable.
Well, very early one morning, Holy Spirit woke me up with the statement "Call a spade a spade" as He referenced the discussions that I had been privy to. I am aware of that phrase from various strata of our society, but I looked it up anyway.
Wikipedia says, "To call a spade a spade" is a figure of speech which explicitly calls out something as it is; by its right name. The implication is to not lie about what something is and to instead speak honestly and directly about a topic, specifically topics that others may avoid speaking about due to their sensitivity, unpleasant or embarrassing nature."
Well, I realize as a seasoned Prophet, up in age, that truth must be spoken in due season and in love; so I simply listened to Holy Spirit as well as reflected on the teachings and information derived from some Pastors, Church Leaders and some Medical Experts as to the origin of a life.
As many of them believe, I also believe that life takes place at conception, and that the taking of that life equates to murder (a hard word); and numerous abortions equate to mass murder (a harder word); and the continued practice equates to serial killing ( no other word for it).
Women have abortions for various reasons...rape, health problems, unmarried, married and not ready; etc. Whatever the reason it is worth being conscious of what the act really is in order to ask God for forgiveness which He will readily grant when you are sincere. To ask for forgiveness (to repent) means to regret an action and to determine not to repeat it.
Years ago, a well known Pastor publicly stated that he had ministered to scores of women who had constant nightmares, hearing babies crying and seeing visions of babies everywhere, after having their abortions. He walked them through a healing process of acknowledging the truth of the act, repenting for it, and receiving/accepting forgiveness which led to their healing.
There has to be a place of acknowledgement in order to receive the deliverance because James 5:16a advises us to "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed." You don't have to tell the world necessarily, but you do need to make a confession and to ask God for forgiveness because this deep seated hurt, grief, anger, secret, or doubt manifests in various physical, mental and emotional maladies.
We pray that you are never or never again in a position to face making such a decision, but if you are we pray that knowledge and the grace of God will guide you.

Receive It All!
Why are so many Christians living defeated while pretending to be "Blessed"? They might have a great job/position, house, vehicle or ministry, but they are depressed and oppressed, sad and sick, angry and mentally disturbed, fearful and uncertain, full of doubt and unbelief. I heard The Lord say that many even come before Him "flogging"...pretending one thing when it's really another. We might not tell each other the truth about our actual situations, but God wants you to approach His throne with honesty because He can deal with your "truth." Through truth you can receive help for your spirit, soul and body. Life is real!
Many are just doing church with no real joy and no real victories. This is not pleasing to Father because He provided for all of this at the cross through His Son Jesus. Take inventory, and get real with yourself and with God. It grieves Him to see His children faking it. Holy Spirit reminds us that "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink (stuff and things); but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."
God's way is real and it works. We just have to stop settling for less (religion) and go for the real thing (true relationship with our Heavenly Father). He is waiting!
