God Doesn’t Lie

One the reasons people don’t understand prophecy and deny there are “prophets” today, and why people struggle with “good news” when “the news” is sharing so much “bad news” is because they do not remember what God said in Isaiah 46:10. Listen to what the Lord said, through the prophet Isaiah, “I declare the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose.” God sees and speaks the end and then walks with us from the beginning to bring us to the purpose He has planned for us individually, communally, nationally, and internationally.

The reason God starts at the end, is first of all because He is the God who knows and sees the end, the now and the beginning. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. He is outside of time, so He can see the whole process, while we only see a piece. But why does He tells us the future and then walk us from the start? Because if we know how it will end, we have courage to journey with Him through the process. We love end results, God loves relationship. What is developed in us as we journey with Him is the real reward, not the answer He promised at the end.

We will receive the end result answer, for if He said it, He will do it. However, He wants us to know Him, really know Him, so we do life with Him in the valley and in the prosperity. Nothing will distract you from Him once you really know Him. He shows you the end, prophetically, not to dangle a carrot in front of you, but to give you hope in the midst of the valley, to give you courage in the middle of the battle, to give you confidence in the middle of insecurity. Faith is believing what He said, even when your circumstances, your nations circumstances are contrary what He said the end is going to look like. “I declare the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose.” He will do what He said He’s going to do, He promises!

Controlled Demolition

When I lived in Seattle, WA we had a massive structure called the Kingdome. It was an all concrete dome in which the Seattle Seahawks played football for years. The Kingdome was a major part of the Seattle landscape in the downtown area. While I was living there, they decided to implode the Kingdome. It was a live televised event. Much of the city, myself included, was engaged in watching this “controlled demolition” of a marker that many of us knew well. When the Kingdome imploded, the landscape of our city changed, but what they built in it’s place was and is now a more beautiful, functional and desirable replacement. The new stadium, called Lumen Field, has a retractable roof, which opens up for all to have both an indoor and outdoor experience when watching their favorite team play a sport many love.

I tell you this, because this morning as I was waking up the Lord spoke to me and said, “Babylon is in a controlled demolition.” I looked up what controlled demolition is described as and here is what it says, “Controlled demolition is the strategic placing of explosive material and timing of its detonation so that a structure collapses on itself in a matter of seconds, minimizing the physical damage to its immediate surroundings.” (Wikipedia) As I read this description, I thought that sounds like how God would destroy something. Minimizing damage to its immediate surroundings. God is not a destoryer, He does not delight in the death of anyone, so for Him to say He is doing a controlled demolition of the Babylonian system, sounds like Him to me.

Daniel 2 tells of a gold statute which represents multiple kings and kingdoms and then it says, “You continued looking until a stone was cut without hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace fo them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” My friends God is doing a controlled demolition of the Babylonian system. Babylon is about to collapse on itself!!!

Believe or Know

The Lord spoke to me recently and said, “My people believe in Me, but they don’t know Me.” I sat on this word for a while because it was not an inditement, it was a concern on the heart of God. Having knowledge about someone is not the same as actually knowing them. Knowledge assists us in believing someone is who they say they are, but that does not mean you know them. To know someone is an intimacy word, it means you know their heart, their character, their likes, their dislikes, you can read their facial expressions, you can hear them speaking when they are silent, it is established on trust, it’s a time investment and it only comes from being alone with that person. You can believe in someone from a far, but you can only know someone when you are up close.

My friend Carmen Howard posted a reel yesterday on Instagram and she said, “If you don’t know the love of God you don’t understand the judgment of God.” I was listening to her shouting, yes friend, yes that is it. You see we believe God loves us, we have heard it so many times, it is not hard to believe it, but most believers do not know that God loves them. We have a working belief, but we do not have a knowing God loves us. So, when God says things like, Vengeance is mine says the Lord, we have a hard time with that for we think He is coming to whack us, because we do not realize He loves us, He is not mad at us, He is actually trying to protect us, shield us and give us peace on every side from our enemies. But we resist what He is saying, rather than receive it, because we believe but don’t know He loves us.

Daniel 7:22 says, “The Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.” We are about to see manifestations of God’s judgment in favor of the saints (that’s believers) and if you don’t know God’s love, you will misinterpret God’s judgements. Our culture has removed discipline and now we wonder why people don’t feel loved, because the Bible says, “God disciplines those He loves” (Hebrews 12). My friends spend time with God, read your Bible, pray, alone, and you will move from just believing in God to actually knowing God. He is truly my favorite person to spend time with.

Hear – Obey – See

Have you ever read a passage of scripture and thought I know what that means because it has been preached on so many times you cannot hear what it is saying? I was reading Revelation 3:20 today, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” This verse has been preached in an evangelism way so many times, I have to push past all the sermons I have heard to hear what the Lord is saying in this verse. Do you have that challenge when you read the Bible? John 3:16 is another one, it is like we just read over it like we know what it means because it has been quoted so many times. With a bible filled with thousands of verses, I wonder why preachers stick to only certain ones to preach on? Not the point, but it was a thought.

Reading the Bible we must remember it was a scroll, it was not chapters and verses, so when I was reading Revelation 3:20 today, the Lord said, this verse is tied to Revelation 4:1-2 “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things. Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne.” Revelation 3:20 speaks of a door at which the voice of God is knocking and those who hear His voice, open the door, then Revelation 4:1-2 tells us what they see once the door is opened because they heard and responded. They hear the voice and they see the throne and One sitting on it.

We are a people that are to hear the voice of God, obey what we hear and when we do we will see Him who sits on the throne. Once you see Him your life changes forever. It is no longer about fame, fortune, possessions, or needing people’s attention or affirmation. Once you see Him, nothing else has the ability to satisfy you like He does. Many people are living behind a closed door, they have heard Him but they have not seen Him, because they do nothing with what they hear. Obedience opens the door for you to see the One who is speaking, these verses spoken to a church not to an unbeliever. Hear, obey and see, it will change your life forever.

Vengeance Is Mine Says The Lord

What we tolerate will dominate! Jesus gave us authority over the earth realm, what we bind is bound, what we loose is loosed, therefore, what we tolerate will dominate. We determine what has access to the earth realm, we welcome it or we deny it access. Remember Matthew 16:18 what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, what you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Oh what authority we have been given, no wonder we have been deceived into believing we have no control over what goes on in the earth realm. The enemy knows the word of God, the promises of God and the authority God has given us better than we do, so he twists it to his advantage and tells us we are powerless.

The Lord spoke to me very clearly in prayer this morning and said, “Vengeance is mine says the Lord!” I asked Him what He wanted from me with this statement and all I kept hearing was, “Vengeance is Mine says the Lord!” I look up this statement and it is found in both Old and New Testament in a variety of places, but first it is in Deuteronomy 32:35, 40-41 “Vengeance is Mine, and retribution, In due time their foot will slip; For the day of their calamity is near, And the impending things are hastening upon them. …Indeed, I lift up My hand to heaven, And say, as I live forever, If I sharpen My flashing sword, And My hand takes hold on justice, I will render vengeance on My adversaries, And I will repay those who hate Me.” It is also found in Psalm 94 and Romans 12.

The devil is a ruthless foe who kills the innocent, tortures the adolescent, attacks the adults, destroys marriages, afflicts our health, oppresses our finances and ultimately wants to kill our spirit, soul and body. He is our enemy and we must stop tolerating his ministry in our lives, schools, families, churches, communities and nation. How do we do this, we agree with God and say, Vengeance is yours Lord, deal with your enemes, render Vengeance on your adversaries, we welcome your judgement, your repayment upon those who have sought to destroy us, we are your children, help us Lord, we need you to intervene in our nation. Loose Vengeance and bind up wickedness we pray.

You Are Powerful

Apostolic builders and prophetic narrative shifters arise now! This is what the Lord spoke to me about in prayer this morning. We as believers in Jesus Christ have been given authority over the earth realm. Therefore, what we speak is established. The narrative we speak is the narrative that operates in the nations. If we want to see righteousness exalt the nations, we must change our narrative as the voices of authority in the land. Our words are very powerful. When “prophets” prophesy the news we establish the narrative of the news, but when Prophets, prophesy what the kingdom of God is saying, we establish the on earth as it is in heaven reality.

We have been dumbed down to believe we do not have power, we do not have authority, we do not have access to make any real changes, that is not true. We have been told we don’t mean very much to the meta narrative, that is not true. The narrative is established based on what believers are saying. If we echo the news, we establish the news; if we echo the word of God, we establish the words of God. My friends, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit on earth, you carry power, you carry authority, your words establish narratives in the earth.

On Saturday night the prophetic voice that was speaking said she learned in quantum physics that the speed of light is a law of creation, light moves very quickly, but then she said, but darkness does not move at all. Darkness is stationary, light is movement. Therefore, the light overcomes the darkness because the darkness does not move, it settles in, but does not move. The only reason the darkness increases is because light has not penetrated it. Our words are light, they are life and they move with great speed. If we want to see darkness decrease, we must shine our light for it has great speed and overcomes darkness, which is stationary.

Apostolic builders arise and shine! Prophetic narrative shifters arise and speak! It is time for the body of Christ to stop talking about the stationary darkness and to speak so the speed of light which is the words of God coming out of you can overcome the darkness. You are powerful, speak!!!

Jesus Is Ruling The Nations

The days of weak, passive, ineffective, tolerating Christianity is over. I know it is still lingering, but it is over. The church has been so dumbed down by the voices of the enemy, poor theology, and multiple losses. This has created experiential expositions of scripture, meaning if I don’t speak in tongues it’s okay, because it is my experience. If I pray for healing and they don’t get healed then healing is not for today. If I don’t work, God can’t provide for me financially. Our experiences have determined our biblical reality and it is just not true. The enemy has thrown the church in a pot of warm water and has been slowly turning up the heat year after year, so now we talk weak, we act powerless and we live poor. No more!

The days of biblical truth are here. You shall know the the truth and ONLY the truth shall set you free. Not your experiences, not your doctrine, not your scientific worldview. Truth is where we find freedom. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life, there is no other way to the Father but through Him. Truth is going to make us strong again. The church is coming back to the Truth about the Word of God and truth is strengthening the church. Truth is reminding us of who we are and whose we are. Jesus is not on the cross with nails in His hands, a spear in His side. He is not in hell wrestling with the devil. He is not in the grave. He is fully alive, He is seated at the right hand of God. He is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, and all seeing. Jesus is ruling the nations right now. No man or woman, deep state or Illuminati is in charge, Jesus Christ is ruling the nations. He is supreme over all.

Therefore, since Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords, presently right now, we can know for certain that Proverbs 14:19 is happening and will continue to happen, “The evil will bow down before the good, And the wicked at the gates of the righteous.” Church, you have been given power to tread on serpents and scorpions (Mark 16), there is no reason to be afraid of the dark, the increasing darkness, or the minions of the evil one. Jesus has the keys of Death and Hades, the government is on His shoulders, fear not church, righteousness is exalting the nations again and the wicked are bowing at the feet of Jesus. You will begin to see it more and more, get ready, the church is about to flex her muscles because her Bridegroom is ruling with His scepter of iron over the nations.

The Gavel Is Raised

On Sunday morning right before I woke up I heard the words, “Court is in session”. This statement was tied to Daniel 7:26-27 which says, “The court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.” I wrote about this on Monday.

Now this morning before I wake up I see a gavel in the hand of God and it is lifted up, suspended in mid air and I wake up, it is 5:30am. I immediately begin to pray in the spirit and I think this must be tied to Daniel 7 and the court is in session word I got on Sunday. I sit down to read in Daniel 7 and the Holy Spirit says, what time did you wake up, I said, 5:30 and the Holy Spirit says, Daniel 5:30 “That same night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.”

Both chapters have to do with God rendering a judgment against wicked kings/kingdoms, but the Lord and I have history with Daniel 5, for this is the very declaration the Lord had me make when I was on Jekyll Island last August. As I am reading Daniel 5 and seeing the gavel in the hand of God raised up, I know He is about to render a verdict, but which one. The Lord has me look up the name Darius, for that is who the kingdom was given to once Belshazzar was dead and Darius was the king during the time of Nehemiah. Nehemiah was the one who rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem and immediately the Holy Spirit speaks to me.

The court is in session, the gavel is in the hand of God and the Lord is about to judge the debt based banking system and in a day it will die, so the building banking system can be revealed. Suddenly one system will fall and the revealing of another will be seen, but the new is for building nations, while the old was for destroying nations. The gavel is in the hand of God and it is raised up because court is in session. Things are moving fast. Watch April.

Generational Legacy

People love individual legacy, but God loves generational legacy. People want everything to happen in their lifetime, but God looks down through many lifetimes when He makes something happen. Once we are able to see generationally, then we will comprehend things biblically. Generational legacy is biblical theology. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, generational legacy.

The church has preached individual legacy, so we think everything is about us, going to happen to us, for us and in us. Our imagery is a motorcycle theology, but God has a train theology. We may see things differently, based on the car we are in on the train, but we need the voice of those who are older than us and younger than us, because they see things differently than us. If we cut off the older generation as though they have no value to add because we are so “advanced”, we miss what they see from their car on the train. God is restoring generational legacy to the church and with this restoration will come a renovation of our theology.

There is always a why behind the what that God is doing. We are living in a day in which a major renovation is taking place in the nations. If we hang onto our opinions, our theology, our thoughts, as though we have nothing else to learn, we are going to miss what God is doing in our generation. This goes for every age group.

We are living in an appointed time moment with God, this is His doing, HIs timing, His plan. Psalm 102:13 says it best, “You will arise and have compassion on Zion; For it is time to be gracious to her, For the appointed time has come.” Why is God doing this now? “So the nations will fear the name of the LORD And all the kings of the earth Your glory.” (Psalm 102:15). And the the result will be, generational legacy. “This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.” (Psalm 102:18). God is doing something generationally not just individually.

Calming The Storm

Did you know there were two men who slept in a boat in the midst of a storm? Jesus did in Luke 8 and Jonah did in Jonah 1. Both men entered a boat and fell asleep and both men were awakened by experienced sailors and fishermen who knew the power of the sea, but did not know the power of God. Jonah and Jesus, when they were awakened in the midst of the storm, calmed the sea, for both knew the God who had the power of both land and water. Jesus did it with a spoken word and Jonah did it with a prophetic act, he was thrown overboard into the sea and when he was the sea calmed down. I love how the Old Testament stories parallel the New Testament stories. It shows consistency, it shows authority and it shows authenticity.

As I was reading about Jonah this morning, the Lord began to show me how our disobedience creates storms in other people’s lives. Being an American, we are indoctrinated with the idea of individualism, as though what I say or do does not affect anyone else. We do not realize how interconnected we really are with people and how our obedience to the voice of God or disobedience to His voice actually creates storms in the lives of other people. Jonah 1:12 says it this way, “Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, for I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you.” Jonah knew the storm the other sailors were encountering was not because of something they did, but because of something he did not do, which was obey God.

The kingdom of God is a community of the likes we don’t fully understand, yet. We are a body and we are interconnected to one another. What we do personally affects others corporately. What we do nationally affects others internationally. What we do either calms or creates storms in other people’s lives. When a storm rises, it is not supposed to be “normal” it is supposed to be “abnormal” henceforth, why we want to calm it. May we be quick to obey the voice of God, quick to repent and quick to humble ourselves so the storm calms in the lives of those we are doing life, community and family with. Peace feels so much better than a storm. Our obedience, repentance and humility declares to the storm, peace be still!
