The Voice Of God

The contrast between what religion preaches and revelation releases is so obvious it causes us to question the revelation we are hearing because it does not match the religious preaching we have heard. God is releasing revelation in order to remove the doctrinal infrastructure inside of you, so the river of revelation can flow freely. Revelation sounds like common sense, it is simple, yet profound and it makes us ask, how did I not see that before? Revelation is uncomplicated truth that sets us free, disentangles us and gives us a new sense of movement in all our relationships. Oh the word of God, there is truly nothing like it.

Two practical ways to get revelation from the word of God is one, to pray the word. If you set up a pattern of praying the word every day, you have no agenda for you do not know what the word will invite you to pray that day and the revelation you will receive will be pure and powerful. Two, read a different translation. We get so familiar with the word, it no longer speaks to us, not because it is not alive, but because we think we know too much about it. Unbeknownst to us, we hear preachers when we read the Bible and we say, I already know that, so skip over it without digging into it. Just some practical tips this morning.

Now to Psalm 46 and what the Lord said this morning. I was praying verse 6 when God began to speak to me about us. “Trouble is on the horizon for the outside nations; not long until kingdoms will fall; God’s voice thunders and the earth shakes.” Here is what I learned from Holy Spirit…The Lord’s voice is like thunder, it roars, and your power is like lightning it strikes. This type fo power is incomprehensible to us. Yet You minimize Your power so we, in our frail humanity, can hear your voice and obey your commands. Your gentleness has causes us to become complacent, but you are not not tamed by us, you have chosen to relate to us so we can know you. This does not diminish who You are, for all of creation knows You, fears You, and honors You. But people think they are in control, not You. Forgive us for seeing Your gentleness as weakness and disrespecting You with our disobedience to the voice that whispers thou is a thunder that rolls and lighnining that strikes.

Psalm 46:9-10 “God can stop wars, anywhere in the world. He can make scrap of all weapons; snap bows, shatter spears and burn shields. Be still, be calm, see, and understand I am the True God. I am honored among all the nations. I am honored over all the earth.”

What Is Your Dream

What is your dream? Big question for such an early morning. A dream, a heart dream, is not a new car, house, job or any other material thing, a true heart dream is something money cannot buy. Think about it, if you had enough money to buy whatever you wanted, the dream would still be deep inside of you crying out for fulfillment. Let me ask you again, what is your dream? God placed a dream in your heart, that would bless others if you were living it. Your dream fulfilled is your gift to us as well as to you.

Due to our reality we are more famiiiar with dreams not coming true, we struggle to even know what our dream really is. We read Proverbs 12:12 which says, “Hope postponed grieves the heart; but when a dream comes true, life is full and sweet,” and we resonate more with hope postponed than with dreams come true. Hope is something you are expecting to happen, and according to this verse hope has a clock attached to it and when the timer goes off and the dream is not yet fulfilled we struggle, we stop, we become lazy in our hoping, believing, dreaming.

God does not put a dream in your heart to tease you. However, we need to sort through our soul, letting the word of God divide our thoughts and intentions (Hebrews 4:12), because many of our “dreams” are actually desires we picked up from living in this world. We have to sift through all of the desires in order to discover the dreams. Dreams and desires may sound the same but one is self-serving (desire) and the other is for serving others (dream). What is your dream? What service can you give that would help others and make you feel fully alive if it was realized? “A dream fulfilled is the sweetness of life” (Proverbs 12:19). Dig down past the desires of the flesh and discover the dream God planted as a seed in your heart.

Living Watering Holes

I see springs of living water popping up all over the nation and the world. Watering holes for those who are thirsty for God. Souls that are longing to drink of the living waters that come from the presence of God. I see them, they are springing up. We are truly living in the days of Noah as many have said, according to Matthew 24, but what many don’t realize is in those days, it says, “On the 17th day of the 2nd month in Noah’s 600th year, all of the subterranean waters erupted from the depths of the earth and burst skyward, covering the land.” Springs broke open from the earth. Springs of living water are breaking forth from the earth again, I can see them.

The springs are breaking open because the people of God and people who don’t yet know God are thirsting for God again. Psalm 42 time is upon us, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?” People are tired of anxiety, fear, depression, addiction, brokenness, they are looking, longing for living water. Their longing is opening the springs in the earth. Watch for pop up opportunities to meet with God to break open.

These living springs are creating watering holes for thirsty people. They are popping up in coffee shops, boardrooms, homes, outdoor spaces, barns, office buildings, garages, so many places. They are spontaneous springs of living water, that are working underground to find water. It is like people that dig for oil, once they find a well it springs forth and fuels many. These springs are doing just that, they will water many who are thirsty. Oh my friends, I can see them, they are going to turn desert nations into well watered gardens.

Gates and A Highway

On Saturday morning I was reading Proverbs 8 and it says, “Isn’t Lady Wisdom calling? Listen; don’t you hear the voice of understanding crying out? She’s taken her stand at the highest place in the city, at the crossroads where everyone can see her. There, and at the gates, at the entrance to the city, right in front of the city doors she cries out.” Immediately the Holy Spirit says to me, Isaiah 62:10-12, “Go through, go through the gates, Clear the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway, Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples. Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, your salvation comes; Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.” And they will call them, “The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD”; And you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.” This was the assignment for the weekend.

After some research, I learned there is one old highway that goes through the whole state of Tennessee, it is US Route 31. This highway does not start in the North and go South, like I thought it would, it starts in the South and goes North. The Lord said, “Start in the South and drive North, go through, go through the city gates, build up, build up a highway for Me.” I research each of the cities I will be going through, and the first thing I learn is that Ardmore, TN, exit 1, on the Alabama border was originally called Athenaville. For you that know Nashville, the Athena and Athens are a theme in this state. I stood on the bridge with Alabama on one side and Tennessee on the other and faced TN, on 31 highway and blew the shofar declaring, we are going through the gates and building a highway for our God.

We then proceeded through city after city, blowing the shofar in each city. We came to Pulaski, the starting place of the KKK and the Lord has us repenting according to 2 Chronicles 7:14; we came to Columbia, TN where they have the Athenaeum (Athena again) an all girls school from the 1800’s. Then it was through Spring Hill, Thompson Station, and into Franklin, TN where the first Jew was lynched in the USA, more repentance declared, more gates opened, more building up a highway for our God. We continued through Brentwood, Oak Hill, Berry Hill and into Nashville, where at a roundabout 31 Highway splits into two becoming 31 W and 31 E as they head north to the Kentucky border.

I ended in Nashville yesterday after two days of travel on this old highway through the state. And the reason I stopped in Nashville is because the Lord revealed to me the Tower of TN (Thanks Aaron Kolb and Sarah) and the Gardens of Babylon all located in the same location. There is work in the spirit that needs to be done in Nashville, then I will finish the highway for I believe it is prophetic as to why two 31 highways come out of the North into Nashville and then it becomes one highway. More on that later. But for now, we have Isaiah 62:10’d our state and God is building up His highway for His glory.

My Country ‘Tis Of Thee

Living for 9 years in a country that was not my own, gave me a fresh perspect on the land of my birth. I did not appreciate, nor understand the calling on the USA until I lived overseas. It was as though I was too American to understand who we were called to be as a nation. Hearing how others view this nation, both with praises and criticisms, I was able to come home and have a new perspective on an old land, a land I thought I knew, but actually did not know. Since my return in 2013, the Lord has called me to be a prophetic intercessor for this land, its people and the role it is to play on the globe. I am not asking for anything for our that has not already been asked for by those who first came here. I am actually repenting for the sins of our land, so we as a land can be healed according to 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Prophets have been declaring Isaiah 60 and Isaiah 61 as where we are as the nations, but I want to add Isaiah 62 to make this a triple chapter decree for our nation. Here is the sound coming from my heart in prayer for the USA. “I will not keep quiet for Zion’s sake; I will not remain silent Until Jerusalem’s justice shines like the light of a new day and her liberation blazes like a torch in the dead of night. Jerusalem, the nations of the world will witness your righteousness, the most powerful world leaders will see your brilliance, And you will be called something new, something brand new, a name given by none other than the Eternal One. And you will be the crowning glory of the Eternal’s power, a royal crown cradled in His palm and held aloft by your God for all to see.”

I realize this was spoke about another nation and another city, but the Lord has made this my hearts cry for this nation and our cities. I blog everyday for this reason. I go on prophetic adventures, blow the shofar, salt rivers, redig wells and bless our cities for this reason. I have seen what this nation is called to be, so I pray for righteousness to exalt our nation again. Dutch Sheets declares America shall be saved. Others have their decrees, but all of us collectively, are not nationalists, we are assigned to this land, so we pray for it to fulfill the reason for which it was made and to do that we must return to the Creator of this land, we must return to God.

Change of Government

We are smack dab in the middle of a change of government and change of governors. While all eyes are on a political change of government, there is a worldwide change of government happening. With every governmental change, there goes out an old administration and comes in a new administration. The Lord is literally removing all of the old administration and is positioning His new administration.

All night long I heard the word “Two’s” and it was coupled with two phrases, “The time of the two’s” and “Two’s are wild”. I have been pondering these words all morning long, seeking the Lord about what He is saying with these words and what He has shown me has blown my natural mind and ignited a fire in my spirit. The first time we read the word two in scripture is in Genesis 1:18 and it says, “God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.” The Holy Spirit hovered over these verses and began to show me the change of government that is happening worldwide.

We have been living in a time, season of darkness so we have been governed by the lesser light. Lesser means young, immature, insignificant, small. The Lord showed me that when darkness is in power, we are under a lesser light as our governor. This explains so much in every area of society. Immaturity is running rampant, we are being led by immature people everywhere, henceforth the increase of darkness. We are being governed by a lesser light. But there has been a change of government and their administration. Because the night is over and the day has broke.

Yes we still see residue of a lesser light governing us, in literally every area of society, but a greater light administration has been assembled and will be revealed very soon. The greater light is the older, mature, wiser and louder lights. We will see a greater governmental administration being positioned for we are living in a new day. The day season, time, is governed by a greater light, righteousness is exalting the nations again. Mature leaders are being positioned in places of influence, voices of truth are speaking louder every day, why, because we have entered a new day, the night is over.

In this time of the two’s, two’s are wild, two’s add value. The greater light is governing the day, this is why we are going to see mature, older, leaders, being positioned because the greater light is governing the day we are in. It is time for a change of government from being led by children to being led by adults again. Welcome to the new day!!!

Leviathan and the Enchantress

Leviathan is the king of the sons of pride (Job 41:34), we read this scripture this week in our women’s book study called The Deborah Mantle by Christy Johnston. Pride is many things, some are declaring pride as a badge of honor, while others see pride as something to be avoided. Pride, just like so many words in the English language have many ways you can take it. But at the root of it, is a Leviathan spirit, a twisting, perverting, wind spirit. Pride in its simplist definition is thinking you know it all, it is about not being teachable, it is the idea you believe what you think and you are not open to what others or the Bible has to say. Leviathan is the king of the sons of pride. That alone should cause you to pause. I don’t want to be the son of Leviathan, the twisting, perverted serpent, but some do and they wear that badge thinking it is an honor when actually it is a disgrace.

These thoughts started while reading the chapter in the Debrorah Mantle called Under the Palm Tree, but they were established while reading Proverbs 7 this morning. This chapter speaks of two women, one is Lady Wisdom and one is the Enchantress. This Enchantress caught my attention because Jonathan Cahn in his book, The Return of the Gods, speaks of this very woman and her tie to sexual perversion. Here is what Proverbs 7 says, “Say to Lady Wisdom, “My sister”; recognize that understanding is your best friend, And they will keep you from the arms of another woman— protect you from the enchantress who entices men into her bed.” The Enchantress by definition is tied to sorcery, witchcraft. As I saw her in the scriptures today, and read about Leviathan in that book yesterday, the Lord showed me the spell that has been cast over those who are in the clutches of these spirits.

Church, we have been given authority to deal with powers, principalities, rulers (Ephesians 6); it is not time to talk about what these who are under her spell or Leviathans rulership are doing, it is long past time, we use our authority to break the spell that has been cast that is leading these people to a destructive end. Proverbs 7 continues and says, “For she’s claimed one life after another, victim after victim, too many to count. Her house is the gateway to the grave; every step toward her is a step toward death’s dark chamber.” It is time to break the spell of the Enchantress who has tried to get a foothold in our nations, for she is not satisfied with men alone, now she has gone after our children, enough is enough. We have been given authority, it’s time we exercise that authority in the spirit and break the spell off our nations!

Invited Guests Only

I was invited to a birthday party last Wednesday for Gabrielle, who is running for Mayor of Franklin, TN. I had never been invited to a birthday party like this before, so I was wondering what this experience would be like. Would it be a political rally and fund raiser? I had no frame of reference for this event, so I was wide open to learn as much as I could, for this was a first for me. We were instructed to park in a certain parking lot and from there we would get on a shuttle and taken to the location of the party. This was the extent of what I knew.

I get to the parking lot, see birthday balloons and a shuttle bus, so I proceed over to the location of these markers, and the first thing we were told to do was say our name so they could confirm we were on the guest list and then we received a name tag for identification purposes. We got on the bus, and when we arrived at the location of the party, there were more security measures, similar to the ones we went through before we got on the bus. What is your name, are you on the guest list. What I didn’t know is that because of Gabrielle’s strong stance for righteousness, she has had death threats made against her, henceforth, the security was for her safety.

I share that because we can read the Bible, where it says if you are not on the guest list you cannot come in and not realize it is for the safety of those who have been invited. The kingdom of God is a safe place and those who are not on the guest list will not be allowed in. It is not punishment, it is because the Father has to protect His children and some people who practice some things are not safe, so are not allowed in. Here is how Revelation 21 puts it, “In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed; and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

Just like I did not understand why the “security” measures for Gabrielle’s birthday party, until today, I did not see the why behind the what that was spoken in Revelation 21. Now I see it, the Father is making sure people who come into the kingdom are safe and therefore, He cannot let in those who engage in unsafe behaviors because they will make the other citizens feel unsafe. God is so loving, so practical and so clear about His expectations for kingdom citizenship.

Do We Understand What Jesus Said?

Julie Green is a voice that speaks what she calls “prophetic words” daily about happenings that she says are coming to our nation. This morning, her YouTube video popped up on my page and it read “A Trap Is Set”. This statement caught my attention because I was praying Psalm 35 this morning and I was praying these words with the psalmist, “Let their way be dark and slippery, With the angel of the LORD pursuing them. For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit for my soul. Let destruction come upon him unawares, And let the net which he hid catch himself; Into that very destruction let him fall.” I was praying these words for our nation, that whatever traps may be set against us would be the very traps those who set them fall into.

After praying, then seeing what Julie had as her title for the day, I began to realize, most Christians do not pray with this type of language, because we have misunderstood the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:43-44 “You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” The church has been told to love their enemies, therefore, to declare our enemies fall into their own trap seems unloving to many believers, so the enemy runs rampant in our nation and we wonder why. Church we are the gatekeepers of this nation! Our misunderstanding of Jesus’ words has allowed the enemy right in the front door of our nation.

Jesus sat at a table and had a final Passover meal with His disciples, where He called out His enemy, Judas. in front of everyone. Was that loving? Yes it was, why? Because 1 Corinthians 13 says, love always protects. Jesus’ love protected Judas from the fate about to befall him and it protected His other disciples from falling for the same trap. Jesus said love your enemies because He knew we cannot have both love and hate inside of us without hate corrupting our love for people. If we have any mixture in us, we cannot reign and rule with Him as sons, for we may, like the sons of thunder, want to call fire down one minute and lean on his chest the next. We must have pure love, but that does not mean we don’t know who the enemy is and call him out as such. And we definitely don’t let the enemy in the front door of our house, church or nation.

Put Your Foot In The Door

I just saw something in the spirit that I believe we need to all see. I was praying Psalm 34:1 that says, “I will bless the Lord at all times and His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” I felt the presence of God all over this passage and it brought me to repentance as at times I have questioned God’s plan for my life, I have complained about how long things have taken to come to pass that He has promised, and when I have been angry with Him because I did not get my way. I confessed these things and the weight of His presence sat on me as I thought of others who have said, why does God allow this or why does God not do that? We are so quick to blame God and David was so quick to bless and praise God. Oh that we would be a people that bless the Lord at ALL times and that have His praise CONTINUALLY in our mouths.

Once I finished repenting I began praising the Lord, blessing the Lord and thanking the Lord for many things. It was during this praise time in which I was thanking God for revealing to me something He has for me, when I had a vision, I believe is for all of us. Once we see what God has for us, we need to put our foot in the door and not let it shut, even though someone may not give it to us as quickly as they said they would. If God revealed this is what He has for us, we need to put our foot in the door, so it can’t shut on that promise that He revealed is for us. What I sensed is we have had doors close because we did not put our foot in the door until it opened wide enough for us to enter into it.

God does not dangle carrots in front us to get us to follow Him and then say, just kidding. He shows us what He has for us, because He prepared it for us, but the enemy does not give up stuff easily or quickly, so somethings you see need you to put your foot in the door so it cannot be shut. My God today, I see it is so clearly. It is like we get a sneak peak, but we are so passive, we don’t apprehend what is ours by putting our foot in the door until the enemy backs off and we get what God has for us. I got my foot in the door on some promises and if no one else understands why I am still standing there with my foot in the door, its okay. I know what God has for me, I am not moving until I get what He has shown me. Jacob said, I will not let you go until you bless me. Jacob put his foot in the door. I have my foot in some doors. What about you? If the door opened for you to see, put your foot in the door until God opens that door wide enough for you to enter in and occupy what He has shown you.
