Genesis 1 says the Lord put the sun, moon and stars in the sky to be for signs and seasons. The Amplified bible says it this way, “And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs and tokens [of God’s provident care], and [to mark] seasons, days, and years.” (Genesis 1:14) This means the sun, moon and stars are communicating things we need to know. 

Psalm 19:1-2 says, “The heavens tell of the glory of God; And their expanse declares the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech And night to night reveals knowledge.” Now we have two biblical witnesses as to what God intends the sun, moon and stars to communicate to us. What is beautiful to look at is also something to listen to. 

This morning we have two voices speaking, the voice of the black moon and the voice of the Hebrew calendar, 29th of Av. I woke up naturally about 4am this morning, laid in bed for a while then went downstairs to walk the dog. My housemate was awake, this is unusual for her, and she says, let’s go outside and look at the black moon, its visible right now. 

Outside we go, but due to cloud cover we could not see it, but the idea of it caught my attention as I walked the dog in the silence of the early morning. The Holy Spirit whispered to me, “Look up the black moon and the date today.” I got home and did just that. The moon is communicating in sync with the Hebrew calendar and its declaration is good news. 

The black moon is a hidden moon, a second new moon in the same month and it speaks to reset or gestation before manifestation. The 29th of Av is the last day of the month, so it is the threshold day into a new month and it means the ending of judgment and sorrow, but is also the doorway into comfort and renewal. 

Putting it all together, the black moon happening on the 29th of Av means this is the end of a long dark season. The old cycle of sorrow is sealed and the new cycle of renewal is here. This black moon declared this is the last dark night before the dawn of divine nearness. It is said the darkest hour is before the dawn and this is what we just witnessed this morning. Welcome to the new day!!!! Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

I was asked one time why I hang out with older people, rather than people my age or younger people. I have thought about that question a lot. I have friends of all ages, but yes I have some friends older than me that I do life with. These friends are stable, wise and easy to hang out with. They have so many stories to tell and they will never change their mind about you. So many qualities they carry, I can’t imagine life without them.

In Houston this past weekend I was invited to speak at a church where the pastor is 85 years old and her congregation is filled with many crowns of glory people. There were a few people my age and some young adults, but for the most part we sang songs the younger ones did not know and we all enjoyed the service. But the question I asked the Lord is, why are you sending me to the older generation?

The Lord answered me on the plane home from Houston, He said, “In the church they love the youth and the young adults, revivals are geared to them that jump, shout and look good on television, but in the kingdom of God I honor the elders and tell them first what I am doing. I am sending you to the elders, to the generals, to honor them for honor unlocks in them what they carry and the generations behind them need what they know, what they’ve seen, what they’ve heard. I, the Lord, start my announcements with the elders not the youth, in the kingdom.”

I said, yes sir, I hear you loud and clear! Friends, the generals in the faith may not be jumping up and down, spinning around, but they carry wisdom, power, glory and many stories we need to hear. God is doing a legacy move and this starts with the Abraham’s then goes the Isaac’s then to the Jacob’s and the 12 tribes of Israel. God is announcing to the elders, to the generals what He is doing and if we honor them it will unlock what is inside of them. They are not going to be forgotten in this move of God, says the Lord.

In a post modern world where truth has become subjective not objective, we have more standards of truth than we even realize, which is why we are more deceived than we even know. Truth does not change. Truth is not cultural. Truth is a person, it is Jesus Christ, for He said, I am the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6).

Today on THE TRAIL OF TRUTH, the Lord spoke to me while I was reading Psalm 51 and said, “The solution to all our troubles is truth, but we must desire truth in our inmost being.” Psalm 51:6 says, “Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts.” If we don’t want to know the truth, hear the truth or we don’t love the truth, troubles will continue.

The challenge we face is that we believe our own version of truth, which is why we do not believe what others share with us as the truth. We can’t see the truth in ourselves, because we have spoken a version of truth to ourselves that is not the truth. Humility is the master key that unlocks truth, for if we are proud, we think we already know the truth until trouble comes and then we wonder how we missed it.

Psalm 15:1-2 says, “LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart.” God is truth, He does not lie, therefore, to be in the presence of God you must be one who speaks the truth in your own heart. Not your version of truth, God’s truth.

We cannot be lovers of truth and not be lovers of God’s word. What we see is more life coaching, counseling and instagram advising, where we have people telling us what we want to hear, for most people can’t handle the truth. However, only the truth will set us free. If we want the trouble to stop, we must speak truth in our inmost being and truth is only found in obeying the word of God. Only you can answer the question, do I speak the truth to myself? If you do, hearing the truth from others will not offend you. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

I think I am going to call these morning blogs, THE TRUTH ON THE TRAIL. Thanks for listening every morning and commenting either privately or publicly about how they are ministering to you. 

THE TRUTH ON THE TRAIL this morning ignited in Genesis 50, but ripples throughout the word of God. When a significant person dies, it detonates a visitation from God. I had never seen it this way before, but follow this bread crumb trail with me. 

Genesis 50:24 says, “At the end, Joseph said to his brothers, “I am ready to die. God will most certainly pay you a visit and take you out of this land and back to the land he so solemnly promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Joseph says when I die, then God is going to visit you. 

Joshua 1:1-2 “After the death of Moses the servant of GOD, GOD spoke to Joshua, Moses’ assistant: “Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people. Cross to the country I’m giving to the People of Israel.” After Moses died God visited His people by giving them land as an inheritance. 

Isaiah 6:1 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Master sitting on a throne—high, exalted!—and the train of his robes filled the Temple.” When Uzziah died, that is when Isaiah saw the Lord. Isaiah’s vision led to his commissioning as a prophet to the nation of Israel. 

Acts 1:2-5 “After his (Jesus’) death, he presented himself alive to them (the apostles) in many different settings over a period of forty days. As they met and ate meals together, he told them that they were on no account to leave Jerusalem but must wait for what the Father promised: the promise you heard from me. John baptized in water; you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.” The death of Jesus ignited the baptism of the Holy Spirit. 

THE TRUTH ON THE TRAIL this morning is that when someone of significance dies it dentonates a visitation from God as an inauguration of a new declaration from heaven. Death is hard, but if God uses even death to visit us, then it is more true than we know that He truly works all things together for the good. Can you see the visitation in the death?

How do you describe liquid love when it flows through people in a room? How do you explain a love so palpable that people cry, shout, sing, clap and pray for one another? It is hard to describe because it is an experience words can’t capture, but maybe pictures can reveal a measure of it.

While in Houston we went from Galveston on the beach to Eastgate Ministries in a building set up like a home. The presence of God was in every meeting, every moment of this trip to Texas. Whether we were baptizing in a backyard pool or preaching from a public pulpit, the love of God flowed from us and to us.

We met new friends, we reconnected with old friends. It was a trip that will never be forgotten and hopefully will happen more often in the future. The Lord spoke to me a year ago and said “There is a TN/Texas connection.” Now I know about the Alamo and how TN sent help for that battle, that is why we in TN are called the Volunteer state, but this was going to be spiritual.

I saw in the spirit a path walked by many between TN and Texas, but didn’t understand it until this trip. The two states are meant to be joined together spiritually and I am seeing it happen with every trip I am able to take there.

One thing that has been said, is everything is bigger in Texas and I learned that is the truth. They love big, they give big, they serve big and they eat big. We went out to lunch and the deserts that were ordered were so big, our table of 8 could not finish them.

Friends, people are the treasure, they are the most valuable asset in the kingdom of God. May we never forget what is really valuable. God loves people and He commands us to love one another as well. Liquid love is healing deep wounds, so we can love again, for we need each other and together we need the Lord. Thank you Texas for a trip of a lifetime.

Psalm 48:9-10 says, “We pondered your love-in-action, God, waiting in your temple: Your name, God, evokes a train of Hallelujahs wherever It is spoken, near and far; your arms are heaped with goodness-in-action.”

What a time it has been in the Houston area for the past five days. There was more than one occasion where corporately we stood in silence in awe and wonder at this God who is so so so good to us.

The Lord had me make two announcements at Eastgate Ministries in Katy, TX yesterday and I was restrained from speaking them until they were made and confirmed by the leadership of that ministry. I was sent there to announce to the nations, “Open the Gates and Release the Rivers!”

To some this will sound simple or even cliche but in the spirit it was an opening of the likes we knew was needed. We opened the East Gates and Released the Four Rivers. With scripture to back it up, we opened these gates with decrees for the nations and we released these rivers to come to us and come through us.

The perfect timing of the Lord had a Nigerian man in the congregation yesterday morning to represent the nations as we opened the East Gates, so the king of glory (Psalm 24) can come in the nations again. This will be like nothing we have ever seen or heard before.

Then last night as the man blew the shofar, I heard the announcing of the king of glory coming in the room and I saw in the spirit the royalty of God as He walked into that room. It was an experience of the likes that evoked awe and wonder, silence and honor.

The Lord has opened the gates of glory and released the 12 rivers. Nothing will be the same as the liquid love of God heals us, the glory of God fills us and the kingdom of God teaches us. The new day is here! Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

The famine has been over for a long time, but the decree has still remained in effect, so the Lord says to America today, “The decree that has kept you in slavery is over, the new decree from Me is JUBILEE!”

In Genesis 47 we read of a famine that ravished the lands of Canaan and Egypt. During this time, of which Pharoh in two dreams was privy to know about ahead of time, thanks to Joseph interpreting the dreams. This famine was like locusts that devoured the land.

The cost of the famine was their money, their livestock, their lives and the their land. All was sold to Pharoh for food, to the point where the people were grateful to survive the famine and were willing to be slaves to Pharoh just to survive.

Genesis 47:25-26 ‘They said, “You’ve saved our lives! Master, we’re grateful and glad to be slaves to Pharaoh. Joseph decreed a land law in Egypt that is still in effect, A Fifth Goes to Pharaoh. Only the priests’ lands were not owned by Pharaoh.”

With this “salvation” from starvation, came a decree that they would pay Pharaoh one fifth of their harvest, or 20% of their income. This decree has been in effect until now. Where do you think they got the idea of a three letter agency tax system on a nation?

While reading this today, the Lord revealed to me this decree is what this nation is under and the Lord said, “The decree that has kept you in slavery is over, the new decree from Me is JUBILEE!” So, I agree with the Lord’s new decree over America and I decree JUBILEE! The ancient Egyptian decree is over and we the church decree “JUBILEE!” Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Job 22:28 “You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.”

I was listening to a sermon yesterday and the preacher was speaking about being seated in heavenly places and how Jesus saw what the Father was doing and did likewise. As I listened I realized my hearing is pretty good, but my seeing is not as sharp. I asked the Lord to give me eyes to see from the seat I have been given according to Ephesians 2, I am seated in heavenly places with Christ. I want my eyes sharpened to see what God is doing and my ears tuned so I can hear what He is saying.

What an honor to be invited to be seers and hearers of Almighty God. No other religion has a God who wants us to see and hear the way Yahweh does with His people. He gave us eyes so we can see and ears so we can hear, not just earthly matters but God’s heart, God’s ideas, God’s plans for earth as it is in heaven.

I began to wonder how much time we waste doing things just to do them rather than gaining a view and a sound from our seated place in heaven. We are dual citizens, we can sit in heavenly places and sit in earthly places simultaneously because of Christ in us is the hope of glory.

My prayer is that our eyes would be opened and sharp to see what God is doing, our ears would be tuned and attentive to what God is saying. We can see and hear people, but can we see and hear God? Oh that we would be able to see and hear.

Psalm 46:9-10 “Attention, all! See the marvels of GOD! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. Step out of the traffic! Take a long,loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything.”

Can you see? Can you hear? God is doing amazing things among us everyday in every way. I hope you are not missing the day and the hour we are in, for it is glorious and growing exponentially. It is truly an everyone, everywhere, everyday move of God we are in. Can you see it? Can you hear it? If not, ask the Lord for eyes to see and ears to hear what He is doing on earth as it is in heaven. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

What we are seeing is only the trickle of the tsunami of glory that is headed our way. Those who can look out and see will notice this wave of glory is headed our way in a pace that is perfectly timed for such a time as this. Just like ocean waves, we cannot create them, it is a work of creation and the Creator, we get to experience them, see them and embrace them but we don’t create them. 

Joshua 3:4 “Keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between yourselves and the ark. Do not go near it, so that you can see the way to go, since you have never traveled this way before.”

When the Lord says, “stay back a little bit, for we have not gone this way before”, it is not punishment, rejection, or abandonment, it is so we can see what is coming and welcome it from afar. If you are too close to something really big you can’t see it clearly and you will misinterpret more than you can interpret. Stay back, we have not gone this way before. 

Scripture is clear that some will not want nor embrace what God is doing in our day and our time. We are in a magnanimous shift and some will not be able to make the shift from the old to the new. Not because they are evil, wicked or even unbelievers, but because they know too much about the last system, the last moves of God. 

Proverbs 15:33 says, “Fear-of-GOD is a school in skilled living— first you learn humility, then you experience glory.” 

This tsunami of the liquid love of God is going to engulf us in a way we have never experienced before. It is going to melt hard hearts, heal deep wounds, bind up broken places and restore so many relationships, but it will be marked by humility which will be followed by glory. If we think we know too much, we will miss the greatest move of God since Jesus walked the earth. 

I pray you will not let your pride block you, hinder you, from entering into this massive tsunami wave of His spirit, for it is going to eclipse everything we have ever known. We are truly never going to be the same again. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

For about a week now, on a variety of clocks I have seen the time 4:44. I usually look at it as seeing triple fours or 444, but this time the Lord said, “The time is 4:44”. What does that mean, I was not sure, but today as I was praying Psalm 44 in verse 4 I realized what time it is.

Psalm 44:4 “You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob.”

It is time to declare, to command, to give orders that it is time for victories for Jacob. Jacob is another name for Israel. As this revelation dawned on me what the Lord was saying, I began to command victories for Israel as a land, as a people, as the God of Israel, as the atmosphere of Israel. I commanded victories for Jacob.

While making this command, I added commands for victories over my husband, son, friends, church, family, city and nation. The Lord was showing me that we can use our mouth for whatever we choose, but when we use it to command victories for people, we become a messenger in the spirit commanding their victory.

It is time to command victories, for our nations, for our states, for our cities, for our communities, for our families, for our friends, for our churches. We have spent enough time speaking ill of these things, it is 4:44 time, it is time we command victories for them. In their victory is our victory; in their rising is our rising; in their joy is our joy. It is time to command victories.

We have been given authority to command victories. We can just enjoy seeing 444 prophetically or we can see it as what time it is. According to Psalm 44:4 it is time to command victories for Jacob, because our God is the King of kings. Start commanding victories my friends, then watch God give victory to those you command it for. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
