A DREAM OF A WONDER!

I have never been a dreamer as such, but recently I have been having some very explicit dreams, basically confirming “words” that have been spoken to me by Holy Spirit or by others.

A couple of nights ago, I dreamed that I was in a top-notch luxury vehicle with some “elite christian personalities” on our way to a high profile Church gathering. 

As we were stopped at a red light where some young men were playing ball, someone missed the ball and it came through my window. I immediately caught it with one hand, but the peculiar circumstance was that the window was up and it wasn’t broken. Well, everyone in the car just looked at me with great amazement! There was no broken glass and no way for the ball to have entered the car. Then when we arrived at the affair everyone was greeting me or pointing at me as if they knew me. Well, the incident was so phenomenal that the news had proceeded me to the meeting!

The next day when I inquired of Holy Spirit about the incident in the dream He told me that it was a “wonder.”   (As in signs, wonders and miracles). Well, I have witnessed a few in my life, but I am certainly anticipating more of that caliber from the Lord.

KNOWING AND FOLLOWING PROTOCOL

For awhile now, the Lord has dealt with me to encourage His people NOT to arrive late for Board Meetings, Church Services, Staff Meetings, Prayer Meetings; etc. because you might miss some very crucial instructions.

Remember Saphira and Ananias!

Saphira arrived late to services and made the same  mistake that her husband, Ananias, made...told a lie about their money. And they both died on the spot! So, you don’t want to arrive late at a gathering and move contrary to the set guidelines and instructions. And at the same time, some people can be at a gathering and miss vital instructions by not listening or by operating in familiarity...That is...thinking that they know what’s going on, but do not.

And then there are many other situations that some change or fail to comply with by not being present to hear important instructions.

SPIRITUAL LEECHES

Holy Spirit keeps speaking about spiritual leeches; so I will go with the flow.

*One of the Google Dictionary meanings of #Leech is a person who extorts profit from or sponges on others.

*A leech could symbolize a habit, a thought, or a negative emotion...

*Leeches suck the blood from their target;spirit leeches suck the energy and passion from theirs.

I have been watching some that I know and have known for years move from one anointed vessel to another latching onto every powerful prophetic word or decree as if that action will produce what they won’t live right to receive from God themselves. 

You can give your blood, sweat, and tears for these persons, but it doesn’t work because there’s usually a religious spirit attached to it that will go through the motions, but never commit to holiness. They will talk the talk, but never surrender to the walk.

They simply try to draw from your fire, your faith, your energy. 

The amazing thing about it is that it doesn’t work, even if it seems to temporarily.

ILLEGITIMATE SONS AND DAUGHTERS

Many of us spiritual leaders have some illegitimate spiritual children who don’t resemble the Christ in us at all. Regardless to how hard we have tried their DNA is foreign to ours.

When they first came to us God wooed them to Himself through His marvelous goodness. Whatever we prayed for them came to pass. When we prophesied, decreed and declared over them it manifested, but they didn’t pursue the sold-out, set aside life that we modeled before them. They chose to just ride the waves of our faith until it came to an end.

They deceived themselves for so long that they  couldn’t find a place of turning. They talked the talk without walking the walk. They even agreed with our teaching and instructions, but never required change for themselves. It appears that they never developed a habit of personal prayer time and Bible reading and study for their own spiritual growth. And fasting!?!?  They discontinued their covenant of giving to the Lord while still expecting miracles. 

They depended on a spirit of religion, a pseudo relationship with the Lord. But one day when they looked around for true connection they realized that they had disconnected from you and God.

As much as you might regret it, you have to release them in hopes of their seeking and finding a true relationship with God without you as their crutch because you can’t be saved for them and you can’t drag them into Heaven. Just consider your investment in their lives to have been the process of planting and watering  and trust God for the increase of their souls.

IT'S TIME FOR THE CHURCH AND KINGDOM DWELLERS TO GO HIGHER!

People of God, because the world is closely watching and harshly judging “the Church” at this hour even more than ever because of certain current “exposures,” we need to position ourselves to represent the Kingdom in spirit, truth, righteousness, power, purity and excellence.

The Lord is about to redeem His name in the midst of all of the sin and degradation that’s running rampant in the body.

It is well past time to BE what we say! It is time to heal the sick, raise the dead, restore the lame and afflicted, set captive free, preach a pure gospel, live holy, execute the will of God in our spheres of influence, and walk our talk.

It is certainly time to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) because too many are just butchering the Word of God by not even telling the biblical stories correctly or in order. Their diction and articulation also leaves much to be desired. It’s ok to take a speech class and even an English class. I write about this dilemma so much in my books because the Lord assigned me to do so over thirty years ago. 

The Lord wants to “perfect those things concerning us” for His glory. All of these improvements will enhance our “anointing” to be received and affective in the Seven Mountains of Society where the Lord so desires to use more of us.

I am simply amazed at how many of us have “Dr.” attached to our names, and we can hardly speak properly; our English is simply atrocious. God deserves better than that! Your mantle/anointing even needs this lift in this day! 

This morning, Holy Spirit said that we need to sharpen every weapon and every tool in this day as we “put on the whole armor of God.” 

We can no longer use speaking in tongues, and dancing in the spirit, and interceding with no measurable results as our measure of holiness or anointing. 2 Peter 1:5 admonishes us to always “add to our faith...”

While we’re checking others, let’s be sure to check the beam in our own eye...Matthew 7:3.

At the age of 72 in a month and nearly 40 years of administering the Apostolic/Prophetic Office, Holy Spirit has continued to encourage and to guide me in giving God my all..spiritually and naturally...because it’s really all the same in Kingdom living. 

Let’s never stop growing, and surely let’s not get off the Potter’s Wheel yet!

With Grace and Love,

Yes, I Am A Forerunner For Today. (GOD UPROOTED ME)

         

Today, we are hearing much about shifting and realigning, preparing for new locations...spiritually and naturally.

Well, the other day the Lord reminded me why a number of Millennials contact me to confirm that I long ago traveled the path that they are venturing into at this time in the Kingdom. But if they allow Him, He will cut the work short and do a quick work in their lives.

Over 40 years ago, when the Lord began to beckon for me to follow Him away from my State, Church, Employment and way of life I wasn’t able to do it right away. It took 3 years for me to  comply with His instructions as every rug was pulled from under me. 

God had always manifested a special call upon my life, but I thought that I could negotiate the conditions of my work. He had to remove me from familiar territory to show me what I didn’t know which was much because He needed to prepare me for THIS day.

When I finally conceded to His mandate, the Lord simply told me two things...”Daughter, there is so much to learn.” and “Man must not live by bread alone, but by every word that precedes from the mouth of God.”  Therefore, over these many years, I am still following on to know Him and His ways and to always listen for that preceding word. He has changed my direction many, many times. Apostles and Prophets are always on call.

A few years ago in a meeting, He spoke to me from several gentlemen in academia that I had traversed many dimensions for Him and that the hard part was over, and they confirmed many words that had been spoken over me at least 30 years ago concerning my mantle for today in my 70th decade.

At a particular season, He dismissed my media and public ministry and continued my covert operations for the Kingdom. He said that I was to live so that Heaven AND hell would know me, and the Lord accomplished this stance in my life. Small accounts of this work are recorded in my books.

So, people of God, go ahead and answer the High calling in Christ Jesus and allow Him to extract the necessary cost of the chosen because we need Power AND Authority like never before.

LET THE LORD HAVE HIS WAY!

LORD, HAVE MERCY ON THE BODY!

 

                        (A Wake-up Call)

Nearly everyday, I am ministering to and fellowshipping with Pastors/Apostles/Prophets  and Civic and Marketplace Leaders across the nation who are discerning what time it really is in the Kingdom. They realize that even though the Body of Christ is saying the right words and exuding the right emotions that we are yet in an extremely malnourished spiritual state...which is lacking the proper dimension of authority through godly consecration and desecration of personal memorials.

Many are waking up while others are descending into deeper pits because they are still coveting the gold ring on the Merry-go-round.  

I feel sad and angry that I am watching certain Pastors in my city making a rabbit trail into the trap of a very charismatic personality in the nation who major, confirmed ministries don’t even acknowledge. I know of and I have worked with individuals who were seduced financially or sexually by this personality, and they know the depravity that is accepted by that staff and team. We are watching others become entrapped, but people won’t let you warn them because they want to be right. You have to wait until they wake up and come out in order to heal them.

We are in a day where we are encouraged to ask the Lord about everything and everybody. This is the admonition that He sent me nearly forty years ago after sending me to break up a church cult. We need to tie Proverbs 3:5,6 around our necks. One thing you will find out in this day is that everything shining is not gold! Satan works miracles and speaks in tongues.  

The sad situation today is that the masses know church culture but very little about Kingdom culture...both kingdoms...the Kingdom of the Lord God Almighty and the Kingdom of darkness.  In fact, when they attempt to call out the spirits of darkness they invite warfare to themselves that they aren’t anointed or prepared for.

AWAKENING MUST COME BEFORE REVIVAL!
