TIME OUT!!!

I have come too far, and I stand too deep in Kingdom matters to deal with petty and immature concerns.  Someone else can do that with you.  When God made covenant with me years ago, He started inviting me to "Come higher" and He's still offering that invitation to me today.  So, I don't dare to stop by the side of the road to pick daisies.  I am one of the least religious people you will meet, but I am Kingdom all the way.

A long time ago, the Lord spoke to me to just study the ways, the words and the works of Jesus one year. So, He is my pattern of Kingdom operation.  Yes, His expression of Love equals Power.  We have heard enough Word with very little demonstration of true power, and believe me I have seen the real and the counterfeit over my many years and my many experiences.  "The Kingdom of God is not in word but in power."  1 Corinthians 4:20

It is now time for nothing less than Kingdom manifestation in and through the lives of the people of God.  It's just that time!  No more time for flogging and showboating and pretending to be anointed and highly favored. If you don't come with the goods now, something is waiting to expose and to challenge you.

The enemy is no longer impressed with Church folks or Churchianity. When we confront the ills of society and the devices of the evil one, we better have on the whole armor of God for real...plus wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

WHAT IS LIBERTY?

So many Christians don't know what Liberty looks or feels like!  So, when they see someone walking in it they become judgmental. True Liberty comes with the high price of "following on to know Him" in the depths of holiness which sets you free from man made limitations.

Many people never express who God created them to be because they are trying to follow some kind of stiff and unyielding pattern that religion or denominations have dictated.  They don't know whether they like red or blue...Winter or Summer...art or music...biking or hiking;etc.  And laughter, oh no, they think that's a sin. Maybe that's why many are still sick because "laughter is healing to the bones."

 

God created you with specific expressions of Himself in you. So, when are you going to become free enough to just "Be"?  So many are just busy doing without having any real idea who they are. God wants to "know" us in relationship to Himself.  We don't want Him to say to us one day that He never knew us...walked in intimacy with us. 

Your ministry and anointing and gifts can flow freely when you get free.  Of course, free doesn't mean living loose or foolishly.  It is powerful in that it allows God to be God in you by being who He created, designed and molded you to be.  If we are all alike, then  much is missing in the Kingdom.  

God wants to deliver you out of sin into His divine purpose for YOU.

Remember now, there is a great difference between unity and uniformity.

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed."  John 8:36

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,

Mother Ingram
