The chiropractor is a doctor that gives you an adjustment because something inside of you is out of alignment. Once the adjustment is done you feel better, for in the words of my chiropractor, “I turned your power back on!” I loved when he would say this to his patients, because whatever was hindering the power of the nervous system in the spine to be hindered, he removed the hinderance and in doing so they were operating by design again and it made them feel better.

In the spirit the Lord wants to give us chiropractic adjustments daily, weekly, monthly and even sometimes hourly. He wants to adjust our attitude, our perspective, our long range vision, our thoughts, and our doctrine. The one thing He wants to adjust above all others is our view of Him. So many of us view God through our life’s circumstances that we do not even realize we have an out of alignment view of God. This view is not sin, but it is hindering our ability to see Him as He is.

This morning in prayer I was praying Psalm 25 and the psalmist says, “Make me know Your ways, teach me Your paths, lead me in You truth and teach me.” As I was praying those very words, the Holy Spirit gave me an adjustment from believing I am waiting for God to I am waiting with God. This may seem small and insignificant to you, but it is revolutionary if you can hear the truth in it. How often have we said, oh I am just waiting on God for this promise or that promise, for this breakthrough or that breakthrough, this healing or that healing. We say it all the time, but the Lord does not want us waiting for something, He wants us to see we are waiting with someone.

Waiting with someone makes the wait that much easier, for we then know we are not alone. We are waiting with God for whatever it is we are waiting for, but we are not waiting alone. I hope this adjustment makes you feel better, I know I am walking out of this prayer time with a fresh pep in my spiritual step.

DELUGE! This is the word the Lord spoke through me last night as I was outside looking at the “Pink” moon and praying for some friends who needed rain for their crops in KS and rivers of resources to flow for their business in TN. DELUGE, not a word I use on a daily basis so the word caught my by surprise and had to look up the definition. DELUGE is a great flood; a heavy downpour; something that overwhelms as if by a great flood.

When I read a heavy downpour, immediately the Holy Spirit reminded me of Elijah on Mount Carmel in 1 Kings 18 which says, “Now Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower.” This was after the fire fell on the altar, Israel declared, the Lord, He is God, the Lord, He is God! And after the prophets of Baal were seized and slew. Th sound of heavy rain, that is a DELUGE, Elijah was calling for.

My friends in KS said they were in the worst drought since 1936 when she texted me last night to pray. Then this morning, as I am reading 1 Kings 18, she sends me a text message and says, “IT’S RAINING!!!!” Only God!!!! I have been shouting, celebrating, singing, dancing all over the kitchen as yet again our God said, “DELUGE” and now it is raining in KS on my friends land.

Here is what I want to decree over you today, DELUGE!!! May rivers of resources flow in you and through you like a DELUGE to reveal the abundance of the kingdom of God. May it overwhelm you as to how kind, how powerful, how faithful our God is. May His DELUGE remind you of His overwhelming love for you.

Remember what Elijah said before it began to rain, “In a little while, the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy shower.” Let the darkness be a reminder to you there is a DELUGE coming your way. The darkness is a sign of the abundance of rain, you are about to experience a DELUGE!!!!

What if we have heard a different gospel for so long we believe the gospel we are hearing is the gospel of Jesus Christ? We hear the word the gospel and assume it only means, the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, but it is not just that, it is also the preaching and living out of the character of Christ not just the work He did on the cross for our salvation. Hear me out for a minute.

Christians are challenging, not because we are not saved and “going to heaven” but because we are easily offended, slow to forgive, quick to give others the silent treatment, inconsistent givers, titles driven, and wanting to be entertained not to serve. Okay, I could go on, but I am going to stop there. In one word, Christians are judgemental in the way they treat others but crying, “Don’t judge me!” Friends, I am seeing so much flesh in people that call themselves Christians. Yes we are sinners saved by grace, but we are also called to display the glory of God in the land of the living, by being image bearers of the One we claim lives inside of us.

I love how we go to DC to repent for our nations sins, but they are usually for some behavioral sin that “unbelievers” are committing like abortion. However, 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people, who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray….” This is a personal prayer closet call, not a national day of repentance for some behavior we think America has done to make God mad and judge us. Friends, we are the light of the world that is dirty so people can’t see it. We are the salt of the earth losing our saltiness so people can’t taste it.

We need a personal revival in our prayer closet for the character of Christians is little to be desired. James 2:13 says, “For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.” We must stop preaching, listening to and echoing the gospel of judgment and get in our prayer closet, remember he who has been forgiven much loves much, ask the Lord to forgive us for being a brat and get our character aligned with Christ, for there is a lot of work to do, but it will take humility personally to lay down our lives for our friends. Mercy is being poured out in a way we cannot see for we have believed the gospel of judgment and we must repent personally. This is good news if you can hear it!

The Bible is the all time number one selling book worldwide! It is also the most weaponized book in the world. These pages; these words; these authors; carry such revelation, power and authority, people fight each other to be right about what they read. Denominations are created based on what people believe is said in this one book called the Bible. The enemy uses this book to find strategy and then twists it for an evil plot. I love the Bible more than any other book, it is the only book I read literally everyday, why because it is full of life.

The Bible is not written by dead men or living men; the Bible is authored by the breath of God, the living word, the resurrected Christ, a current reality people were talked about in this ancient manuscript. There are more books that could have been written and probably were written that didn’t make it into this codex we call the Bible. John said, “Jesus did many others things as well. If everyone one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” (John 21:25). So there is even more than these 66 books, but these are the ones we read, we preach, we teach. Oh how I love my Bible.

The Bible is the greatest generational echo we will ever hear. It was written or spoken many many many years ago, yet we in our generation pick up the echo and speak it forth as though it was written today. David said in Psalm 22:30-31 “Posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation. They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.” Friends we are not the first nor the last generation, but we are an echo of what has been said and we are speaking into what will be heard by a generation not yet born. Oh the power of God’s words. I pray we carry the echo from history and enjoy it in our current reality and then speak it so a future generation can enjoy the echo as well. The word of God is a multi-generational echo that knows no end, just like its author, God Himself!

Financial integrity is tested in so many ways. The test is not to shame you with a pass or fail grade, but it is to reveal to you, to the enemy and to the atmosphere what you will do when a financial test arises. I tell people that it is suddenlies that reveal our authentic response.

For you that follow me on these blogs you know I walk my dog every morning and the things I find tend to become messages I share. One day there was a literal 2 year old baby girl walking down the street on one of my walks with no one in sight, so yes I found a baby one day on my walk. Other times I find random things like hot wheel cars or “&” symbols. I pick them up and ponder the significance of them as I notice when something is different since I walk the same route everyday.

Well it happened again today, I was walking and lo and behold on the ground was an iPad. Yes a dark grey iPad mini. No scratches, no broken screen, no notice of it being thrown out of a car window, it was as though it was laid there on the ground for me to find. I pick it up and my first thought is, who can I give this to my son and I have an iPad. But as I am walking I flip it over and there is a sticker on the back that says, “Property of…” I knew this iPad had an owner and it was to be returned to them not retained by me. So, I got home plugged it in, called the owner and let them know I found their iPad and described to them the condition it was in.

This experience this morning spoke to me that what we do with property that which belongs to another says a lot. Jesus said in Luke 16:12 “If you have not been faithful with someone else’s property, who will give you your own?” Most people take care of their own needs, their own property, but we are called to also steward well other people’s stuff. It also spoke to me that God is about to pick up people who have been discarded and return them to their rightful owner. Church we are God’s property, we belong to Him and others have tried to take us as their own but God is being revealed as the owner of our life and He is calling us back to Himself. Prayer for others is letting God know I found your property and I want to let you know where it is located and what condition it is in.

Faith! Such a powerful word packed with so much authority, yet in many ways so elusive. It is a common word in the Christian church and is said frequently among believers. But what is faith exactly, practically? I have faith, I know I do, for me faith meant I believe in Jesus, I trust His word. Yet, I knew there was more to this word and what the Lord has been showing me I want to share with you. This is not some huge revelation for most, but for me it is added flesh to this spirit word that has always been in my life, it is how I walk, but never really could explain in concrete simple language. I hope this helps you as it has helped me tremendously.

Faith is confidence in God and in His word! Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.” Faith is substantive, it is strong, it is steady, and it is evidence of the invisible. Faith is confidence in God and in His word. Simple!

Is it any wonder the enemy seeks to steal, kill and destroy our confidence in God’s word, God’s power, God’s people, God’s church, God’s government? Answered prayer gives us confidence God hears us; miracles, signs and wonders gives us confidence God sees us; financial breakthroughs tell us God is with us; salvations tells us God is for us and not against us. But day to day when we pray and we don’t see what we say, it erodes our confidence.

My friends, we need some wins, kingdom of God wins. Not another platform revival where we have great services in a building, but no impact in our families or communities. We need some wins in our marriages; we need some wins in raising our children; we need some wins in our jobs; we need some wins in our health; we need some wins in our dreams coming true; we all need some wins. Wins are not just for some, God is for us all and He wins and He wants us to win. I am praying for you and please pray for me, that whatever a win looks like for you or for me, that God would give us some wins, for it will cause our faith, which is our confidence, to grow and Jesus said, when I come will I find “FAITH” on earth, so our wins are for His glory!

I have a friend who is non-verbal and he has taught me so much. We hear the words non-verbal and it means they cannot speak, but we have limited speech to words, there are so many ways to communicate. We speak with our silence, our distance, our attitude, our presence, our body language, our driving, our posture, our hands, our feet, our eyes. The innumerous ways we communicate is astounding to me and it is not just us as humans that communicate, it is all of creation that communicates.

I have a dog and though that dog does not use words, he communicates to me what he wants in a variety of ways. The Bible says in Psalm 19 “The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.” The heavens speak of the sun, moon, stars, birds, wind, clouds, all things in the air are all pouring forth speech, but what are they saying?

We have such a one dimensional way of hearing and because the “new agers” have captured the stars and called them a Zodiac; or captured the wind with their dream catcher; or told us astrology is wicked; we no longer listen to the heavens let alone have a clue what they are speaking to us. The Hebrew people listen to the moon in determining the beginning of a month. Abraham was invited to look at the stars to know how many descendants he would have when he was childless (Genesis 12). The magi saw a star and knew a king was born and took off immediately to follow that star.

We have so many ways that God communicates with us, but we must not be arrogant and think we know more than we do. God is infinite, we are finite; God is eternal, we are temporal; God is all knowing, we know very little. Humility is the key to accessing the more God has for us, but we must be willing to realize we don’t know as much as we think we do. We don’t know what the birds are saying or the stars are speaking but we fight over the breadcrumbs of what we have been taught. There is so much more, come up higher, those petty arguments are not worth missing the majesty of God over. He is speaking in surround sound, can you hear it?

Did you know the door is already open, you just need to walk through it by faith, accessing all that has been granted to you?

Do you realize you are a king and priest? A king who can take the land that is crying out for the sons of God to manifest (Romans 8 ) and a priest who has access into the holy place where you can minister to God. The veil has been torn, Jesus is your only mediator.

Are you aware that you are in the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7)? A king of peace and a priest of God.

Can you hear the invitation to oneness with God (John 15), so His roar is your roar; His ways are your ways; His thoughts are your thoughts?

Just a reminder this morning that Jesus conquered sin, hell, the grave and the enemy called Satan. The devil is literally under your feet, his voice, his seed may be still crying out from the grave, but it is only a vapor, not a reality. You don’t have to believe what the father of lies says to you.

I realize circumstances are screaming at you, but we must cast down the idol of circumstances and exalt the truth that sets us free. We must quit bowing to everything that screams at us as though their volume is their authority.

The truth is you have a seat in heavenly places (Ephesians 3)!
The truth is you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8 )!
The truth is you are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6)!
The truth is you are loved (John 3)!
The truth is you are set free (John 8 )!
The truth is you have access to abundance (John 10)!

Friends, slow down, sit down, relax and let the word of God do its work inside of you. Martha, Martha you are worried and upset about many things, Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her, but you can join her says the Lord. You are a king and a priest, rule from your seat!

I was listening to some prophetic words on You Tube this morning and one of the suggested videos was about flooding happening in Dubai. For you that don’t know, Dubai is a very wealthy city and is in a desert location. The flooding literally diverted flights, stopped traffic and brought the city to a stand still, last night our time, which was during the day for them their time. As I was watching the videos the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “Isaiah 43”. For you that have ears to hear I believe there is a prophetic word of encouragement in this chapter for us with this natural occurrence happening in Dubai right now.

Isaiah 43 speaks of what God did to Babylon, how God delivered His people out of Egypt. The chapter is often quoted as one of the most used do not fear verses and how no matter what we walk through God will bring us out. But that all precedes what the Lord is prophetically highlighting for us today. Listen to verse 18-22 “Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. The beasts of the field will glorify Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I have given waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people. The people whom I formed for Myself Will declare My praise.”

The desert is flooding as we speak, so this word is in now time, but what the Holy Spirit highlighted was the word formed, “The people whom I formed for Myself will declare My praise.” Formed in Hebrew means, be narrow, to bind, be cramped, distressed, vexed, squeezed into shape. This is not about all people, this is about those people who have been squeezed by the Lord into the shape He wanted to make them and they submitted to the squeezing. You who the Lord has formed, do not call to mind the former things, neither revivals nor mistakes, for God is doing something brand new.

I believe this prophetic picture out of Dubai is to tell us God wants us to not look for another revival or another model which is the old dressed in new clothes, He is doing something brand new. He wants to know can we perceive it. We have been squeezed in order to minister to Him and now we are the new wine skin carrying the new wine. Look, the rivers in the desert are prophesying to the ones who have been squeezed. This is good news.

Friends, Babylon is falling. Babylon is a system that controls its leaders and its leaders control the people. This system of control is falling. As it falls you will hear of things that make your head swim. When something happens suddenly our authentic response to it reveals more about us than about that which has been revealed. God is doing a controlled demolition of this system, for if it fell in one fail swoop it would cause us such trauma we would not be able to process what happened. We see one event go viral and people are shocked, sharing and screaming how can this be. It has been going on for decades, just under cover, but now God is uncovering that which has been covered up in every area of life. Nothing is off limits from the macro to the micro; from the family leaders to church leaders; from governments over nations to governments over churches; it is financial as well as Hollywoood and Bollywood, this system has invaded everything and its fall will be felt by all.

We as Bible believing Christians should not be surprised when we hear of some Babylonian structure being exposed, yet we are, and it is all part of the Great Awakening. Everything we are seeing and hearing is putting a hunger for truth in humanity in a way that only a Great Awakening can. Many first responses are shock and awe, but Paul said in 2 Timothy 3 “Realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.” So we should not be surprised by what we are seeing and hearing. Paul was speaking to the church and its leaders not the world when he penned this to Timothy.

The shaking is upon us, it should not shock us for the shaking is for the Great Awakening. Babylon must fall so we can see the kingdom of God that has been at work behind the scenes all along and is now coming into purview. We are living in history making days. When generations to come read about our day they will say, How Great Is Our God!!!!
