Money….everyone worldwide wants more money. I lived in Malaysia for nine years and whenever I would encounter a Malaysian and they heard I was an American, they would say, America, I want to go to America. I asked them why do you want to go to America? The answer consistently was because Americans are rich. I smiled every time, because I realized rich is a perspective and if you are a taxi driver in Malaysia who rides a motorbike to work, Americans are rich. But if you are an American living in Malaysia as a missionary living on $500 a month, you are not considered rich by your home country, America.

Snatch thieves, robbers, even watch any court show on television and you realize people are in pursuit of money at any cost. It is heartbreaking to me on these court shows when you see family members in court over money. People, lie, steal, cheat all for money. People apply for disability when they are not disabled all for money. People stay on food stamps long after they need them all for money. People have credit card debt over their heads all because of money. Can you imagine life apart from money’s noose around your neck? Can you even begin to dream of the freedom of a life not worried about money? Most can’t. My husband says, people spend their health to get wealth and then they have to spend their wealth to take care of their health. Oh friends, it was never God’s intent for us to live in pusuit of money.

Proverbs 21 says, “The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.”

When we compromise our integrity for the sake of money it is two things: one a fleeting vapor, it is a chasing after the wind; two it is a trap that leads to death. Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy, but I have come to give you life and life abundantly.” (John 10:10) When you know your God is abundance, Your Father in heaven will help you, the snare of death has no power of you. Friends, we are not poor if we know the God of abundance. I am not rich because I am an American, I am rich because I am daughter whose Dad is the King of kings!!!!

Who told you the darkness is getting darker? Who told you the end is going to be death and destruction? Who told you that you want to be raptured out of here? Who said? Doctrines of men distort the word of truth. Doctrines of men must keep you afraid in order to control you. The gospel of the kingdom the word of truth, sets you free and will never seek to control you with fear. Our Father in heaven is not a fear monger who is trying to control you, He is a Father who loves you and wants to set you free. Our God is not insecure, He is Lord of everything. He does not need anything from us, but He receives gifts from us. Oh the wonder and majesty of our God, there is truly no one like Him. It is time to leave the doctrines of men and come into the kingdom of God.

I was reading 1 John this morning and on more than one occasion it says, “The world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” (1 John 3:10) It does not say the earth is passing away, it does not say people are passing away, it does not say truth is passing away. Actually John makes it clear, darkness is diminishing not increasing and the world is passing away not the kingdom. The doctrines of men have taught us the end is going to be disaster, destruction, disease, and demise for people, but we are going to be raptured out of here so it won’t happen to us. What preacher of death and destruction wants to die or live during a tribulation? Not one! But they sure do scare people with their teachings and what is shocking is we sow financially into bad news and then wonder why we have little to no joy of the Lord.

Here is the truth, which is good news. The Hebrews never were waiting for life in the sweet bye and bye, they believed in eternal life on earth as it is in heaven. They believed in the light shining in the darkness and the darkness not being able to overcome it. They believed they were more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. They saw a resurrected Christ and they knew what we don’t, things are getting better because Christ rose from the dead not worst. Break out of the prison of men’s fear based theology and come into the kingdom of God that is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. There is abundant life in the kingdom of God!

Six to seven years ago, the Lord sent me on a prophetic adventure based on a headline dream a friend of mine had which said, “Higginsville Woman Found Dead”. How this headline turned into a prophetic adventure is a story in and of itself. In true God fashion it led to a multi-location declaration destination in which I was to find a certain location and make a Psalm 24 declaration. He told me when all 12 locations were visited and the Psalm 24 declaration was made at each location, it would unlock debt cancellation for the nation.

Jubilee is what the Lord told me to decree. I remember when I was at the final location in Bethesda, MD, making the Psalm 24 decree and when I said, it is finished, I made one more blow on the shofar and decreed Jubilee. This was the year 2019 when I completed this prophetic adventure. Now 5 years later it is 2024 and I am sent an article from a friend this morning that says, US-Saudi Petrodollar Pact Ends After 50 Years. I immediately say out loud, JUBILEE!!!! When you have history with God, when you do by obedience what you don’t understand in the moment, God remembers more than we do, so when an article like this is sent to me in 2024 (Psalm 24 year); the Lord winks at me in order to remind me, the prophetic adventure He sent me on was not in vain.

Friends, church, there is so much that goes on that we do not know. The news is 24 hours a day but the number of stories they share is few, so you hear the same story from different broadcasters all day long. But with God He gives you the news before it becomes news and then circles back and sends an echo to confirm what He told you was Him. Today is a circle back day for me and really good news for our nation as the Lord is decreeing Babylon is falling and Jubilee. I see debt cancellation for a nation and it started with my friend Autumn’s dream. God is moving in a reformation way that is changing everything and I am so excited. Jubilee is what I see.

What we are doing in any season of life flavors our reading of the Bible, that is why you can read the same scipture many times and get a new interpretation of what it means in that moment. I love how the word of God is living! I read a Proverb a day and today I was reading Proverbs 18 when something new jumped out. We know this verse well, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” Love what? Love it. What is the it?

These are questions I ask as I read and what the Holy Spirit showed me this morning is the “it” is the fruits of life or the fruits of death. So the question is, what fruits do we love and how do we know? We have to go to Galatians 5 to know the fruits of death and life. Here is what Paul said, “Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” What fruits are you enjoying, eating, loving? What do you have a taste for?

Life and death are in the power of the tongue we have been taught, is words and that is true, but it is also taste. The tongue is how we taste things and the Holy Spirit is saying, what fruit tastes do you love? The fruits of death or the fruits of life? We know what we do and what we do shows us what we love the taste of. I know this means taking personal responsibility for our choices, but that is what maturity does. If you don’t like what you love, change lovers. It’s not easy, but it is doable and all I can say from experience is, the taste of the fruits of death are temporary and has no nutritional value, but the taste of the fruits of life are everlasting and nourish the soul exponentially. It may be time to change what tastes good.

Yesterday morning the Lord spoke to me and said, “Giants are falling, microphones are being abandoned.” No context, just a statement, I knew I was take notice of. Two hours later, I get sent an article about yet another Christian leader who is the head of a mega church, possibly the largest in the United States who has stepped down due to sexual misconduct. Now the statement from the Lord makes sense to me, “Giants are falling, microphones are being abandoned.”

Church when news like this comes out and it will come out more an more, we must act with maturity not naturally. Naturally we want to make assumptions of facts we have not been told, we want to cast stones and we may even want to walk away from any church, but those are all initial natural and understandable reactions. However, maturity doesn’t get moved when giants fall and microphones are abandoned, maturity asks questions. What is the reason for this coming out now if it happened “x” number of years ago? How come some giants are submitting, confessing and stepping down, while others are defiant, resistant and standing their ground with microphone in hand despite what has been brought to light? One other question to ask is, why is it happening now? What is the meta narrative God is speaking through these situations we are hearing about on earth?

We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. I realize leaders are held to a higher standard and are judged more strictly, but we are not privy to all the information so we cannot be judge or jury for we are only reading headlines. I am not condoning anything, I am calling for believers to remember two things, one we live in glass houses so we should not cast a stone and two Jesus said, He who has been forgiven much loves much and our job is to forgive, not be naive, but forgive them, for every time a giant falls and a microphone is abandoned it is a disgrace to the name of our God, who is Light and in whom there is no darkness at all.

Every Father’s Day the first person I wish Happy Father’s Day too is my Father in heaven. Then my husband and earthly dad. I know it is just a Hallmark Holiday, I get that, but honor is fitting any day of the week, so when there is a specific day where people are going to go do things for their earthly husbands and fathers, I always make sure the Lord knows I view Him as my Father and I honor Him as such.

Maybe today is painful day for you. We forget dad’s may not have had dad’s, so many have hurt from their dad’s, but we all have earthly dad’s and we all have a Heavenly Father. Father’s are incredible people with a role only they can play. Father’s instill identity in their children; a fatherless generation is an identity challenged generation. The way to instill identity is to teach them about their father on earth and in heaven.

My Father in heaven has been protection when I thought it was rejection; He has been provider when I thought I was destined for poverty; He has been healer when I thought I was too broken to be loved. Jesus said, there is only one way to the Father and that is through Him the Son. It is not because His Father is distant, cold, angry, or unwelcoming, but because Jesus also said, If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father. Jesus was His Father on earth in the flesh. Jesus and His Father were One!

We have a Father who dwells in heaven but He is an ever present help in time of need; a Father to the fatherless; a defender of the widow and orphan. My prayer today for you is that you would lift up your eyes beyond the pain of your reality and see you have a Father in heaven, who loves you, champions you, disciplines you, all because He loves you so much. Whether man or woman, adult or child, we all have a need for a Father and what a great day to acknowledge our Father in heaven even as we celebrate our husbands and fathers on earth.

Adventures with God begin without having any assumptions about what He is saying. Last night I heard over and over again the word reprobate. I am reading the book of Romans right now, so hearing that word, I said in my sleep state, “got it.” I kept hearing it, like don’t forget this, so when I finally woke up, I looked up the word and it is found in the KJV in Romans 1:28 and is tied to a reprobate mind. But when I looked up the root of the word, I knew God was not talking about a reprobate mind sexually, but about being reprobate financially. Let me explain.

The word reprobate comes from the root word to be acceptable, approved, tried and in Strongs Concordance is defined as having do with coins or money. Well this changes everything, it is not about being reprobate sexually, but about reprobate money. The Greek word for acceptable, tried, proven is identified clearly by Donald Barnhouse “In the ancient world there was no banking system as we know it today, and no paper money. All money was made from metal, heated until liquid, poured into moulds and allowed to cool. When the coins were cooled, it was necessary to smooth off the uneven edges. The coins were comparatively soft and of course many people shaved them closely. In one century, more than eighty laws were passed in Athens, to stop the practice of shaving down the coins then in circulation. But some money changers were men of integrity, who would accept no counterfeit money. They were men of honour who put only genuine full weighted money into circulation. Such men were called “dokimos” or “approved”

The Lord keeps pointing me to the fall of Babylon especially the financial system. This word reprobate leads to Daniel 5 where the handwriting on the wall says, “Mene Mene, Tekel, Upharsain” you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. I was sent to Jekyll Island, GA in August 2021 by the Lord to abort what was conceived there. What was conceived there was the Federal Reserve Bank, the Lord said, Decree Daniel 5. Now last night and other days this week the Lord has been speaking to me about the financial fall of Babylon. Now we know why Jesus turned over the tables in the temple. Friends, when Babylon falls we will all feel the shaking, but it is for the making of a people who have been tried, tested, approved to rise and lead us into a building project that will bless nations. This is all really good news.

The more you read the Bible the more you see the difference in the way the Hebrew people thought and the way Christians think; the way the rabbi’s and apostles taught and the way preachers today teach. One group created a culture in which it was said of them, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here too!” (Acts 17:6) Another culture says, “Come as you are, it is okay to be __; the word of God is antiquated, it does not apply to today.” What we hear determines who we are and the men and women in the word of God heard a gospel of salvation that empowered them to rule and reign on earth, to call heaven down when they needed help and to see signs, wonders and miracles of the likes we have never seen before. I don’t know about you, but I want that gospel, not the one I am hearing preached in so many places today.

Words are seeds and words seed atmospheres. Jesus said in Matthew 13:58, “ He did not do many mighty works there (Nazareth, Jesus’ hometown) because of their unbelief.” If you read the preceding verses you can hear how they viewed Jesus. They called Him just the carpenters son, just the son of this man and woman, just the brother of these people. Jesus even said in the same passages, “A prophet is without honor in His own hometown.” The people in that city treated Jesus so casually He could not display His authority and power there to help them, heal them, save them, because they could not see Him for who He was, the Messiah. Their words, seeded their atmosphere with unbelief, so they did not see many God things.

Friends, we are called to seed our atmosphere with words of faith that unlocks miracles. We are called to rule and reign, not be subject to every evil wind that blows. Proverbs 14:13 says, “The evil bow down before the good,
the wicked at the gates of the righteous.” We are not the ones bowing, evil is, we are not the ones on the run, the wicked are. It is time to speak out the truth about who we are, who God has called us to be, and who our God is. He is not on the run, He is not fleeing, He is still destroying the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Rise up, stand up, get up. Our God is King of kings!!!!

When you enter a new room, when you are placed in a new situation, when you are invited to a new table, Jesus says to take the lower seat and let them call you up higher. Do not assume your position at a table, rather sit where you are seated, watch, listen and seek to understand what is being said at the table you have been invited to. There are people sitting at that table that know things you do not know, been places you have not been, seen things you have not seen. Go low and watch God raise you up in due time.

I was invited to sit at a new table yesterday and I watched as one person raised themself up and I watched the leader gently correct them and had them sit back down. I saw a leader leading leaders yesterday and it was fascinating to observe from a seat at a table I had not been to before. Many people are going to be invited to new tables, but even if that table has people you know from a far and now you are up close, remain humble and when the time is right, God will raise up your voice into the ears of those leaders.

When Peter, James and John went up on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus one day, the heavens opened and the voice of the Father spoke to them all about Jesus. Peter was so excited about this encounter, he said, “Let us build tabernacles in this location. One for you Jesus, one for you Moses, and one for you Elijah.” What a meeting that would have been, the challenge is the meeting location was not to be a dwelling location, but rather a declaration destination. So Jesus told Peter he did not know what he was talking about, it was not to be a habitation location but a declaration location.

We need to be discerning when we are in meetings, for many people have built dwelling locations that were supposed to be declaration locations. The Father made a declaration about the Son in that location, it was not to be a place of habitation. Today there are buildings on top of the Mount of Transfiguration in Israel, but that mountain was not meant to be a place of habitation, but of declaration. We will do well to know the difference as we are being called into a variety of situations we have never been in before. Yesterday I was in a declaration location and now the decree lives in me.

If you are political you will struggle to be spiritual. The reason being, because politics has to do with parties, people and policies, but the spirit has to do with atmosphers, heart postures and kingdom principles. Every nation has leaders people do not want in office and political people struggle to say nice things, pray powerful prayers, for political people who do not align with their politics. Politics is polarizing, divisive and destructive to families, churches and nations. But when you are spiritual you are not political.

I was reading Psalm 71 this morning and the Holy Spirit asked me how many people are praying this for the leader of their land? “Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son! May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice! Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness! May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor!”

When you are political you cannot join the psalmist and say, “Long may he live; may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day! May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it wave; may its fruit be like Lebanon; and may people blossom in the cities like the grass of the field! May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed!” But if you are spiritual you can pray this for whoever is in office.

Friends I do not know your political leaning, but I am asking you to be spirtual. Whether you like the politics, policies or personality of who is in office or who will be put in office over your nation is irrelevant. When you are spiritual not political, you pray Psalm 71 for that person, for they have been put their to lead your nation and when we pray God moves powerfully in our lives, in our nation and in their lives. Don’t forget Proverbs 21:1 says, “The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.” Pray friends, pray for the leader of your nation, God is making ginormous moves right now and they are about to manifest.
