What If?

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

The desire to be in the know is palatable in the world. It is as though information has become our new fig leaves to cover our nakedness/the vulnerability we feel. If you listen to people talk you know what they are listening to, watching or reading. When Christians know more about politics, the news, or the enemies tactics than they do about God, it is no wonder they espouse fear based theology. We do not get our knowledge about the world, world events and what is happening in the world from watching the news, we get our perspective on these issues as believers by reading our Bible.

The intimate knowledge about the news has thwarted people’s intimate understanding about who God is. Yes He is all knowing, all wise and all powerful; Yes He could with one word change everything as we know it today in an instant; Yes, yes, and yes again, however, what if He had another desire, another way, another plan that we are not privy to, because we do not know Him? What if He actually meant what He said when He called us ministers of reconciliation, ambassadors of His kingdom (2 Corinthians 5:20)? What if, He wanted us to know Him so we could rule and reign with HIm on earth in righteousness, peace and joy (Romans 14:17)? What if He wants us to partner with Him for redemption of the nation, not the destruction of it, so is trying to train our mouth to speak what He is saying, not to echo what the media is telling us?

Psalm 33:8-11 says, “Let all people stand in awe of the Eternal; let every man, woman, and child live in wonder of Him. For He spoke, and all things came into being. A single command from His lips, and all creation obeyed and stood its ground. The Eternal cripples the schemes of the other nations; He impedes the plans of rival peoples. The Eternal’s purposes will last to the end of time; the thoughts of His heart will awaken and stir all generations.” Church things are not getting worst, His plans are awakening nations for all generations. Look again, not at the news, but at Him. Read again, not people’s opinions, but the Truth in God’s word. Stand in awe and wonder at the great work He is doing in our day, it is historic on so many levels.

Just The Messenger

Published on by lisagreatenebeli1 Comment

Last night a group of us attended RISE USA with Johnny and Elizabeth Enlow at the Factory in downtown Franklin, TN. While there, a man got up and gave a prophetic word saying, “the Lord has given me 4 numbers, the numbers are 5668, do those numbers mean anything to anyone?” No one responded, so he elaborated and said, “I believe it is a license plate, actually a yellow, TN, don’t tread on me, license plate.” No response from the crowd. So he says, “well if you realize this is your license plate, the Lord is saying, Isaiah 56:6-8 is for you.” He sits down and the meeting continues without any other mention of this situation.

Now it is Sunday morning and I am walking Hunter, on our usual route through the apartment complex across the street from our neighborhood and I see the numbers 5668 on a yellow TN, don’t tread on me, license plate. I look up to heaven and smile, keep walking and think, you can’t make this stuff up. I get home, and know I have to write this owner of this license plate a message and tell them what the Lord is saying. As I am writing it out, I am thinking this feels crazy to write and say, how will they respond. The Lord speaks to me, “this is between them and I, just tell them what happened last night and give them the verses. It is my words to them, they will understand.” I do as I am told, I finish writing the note with the verses in it, grab my camera, go back to the car, put the note on it, take a picture of the license plate and come home. You can’t make this stuff up.

The license plate frame and fish on the back of the car, reveals the owner is a Christian, obviously. God is so creative, He loves to speak to His children, and I am honored to deliver His message for Him. Now I am going to go to where Johnny Enlow is speaking this afternoon, so I can share this information with him to encourage the man who spoke the word, so specifically and accurately. Everyone’s faith is encouraged in a situation like this, I know mine was. What a great Sunday morning surprise. Shabbat Shalom my friends.

Two Mountains

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

Two mountains represent two covenants. One is Mount Sinai which represents the old covenant; the other other is Mount Zion and represents the new covenant. Everyone who claims to be a believer in Jesus Christ says they are new covenant believers, however, many believers are listening to prophets, preachers and media that is speaking from the old covenant, Mount Sinai message. Hebrews 12 describes Mount Sinai like this, “For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind, and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them. For they could not bear the command, “IF EVEN A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT WILL BE STONED.” And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “I AM FULL OF FEAR and trembling.” This is the message of Mount Sinai, fear and judgment. Many are preaching, prophesying and discussing Mount Sinai, but we have not come to that mountain in we are in Christ.

If we are in Christ, we are not in sin. Those who are in sin, but want a message that says their sin is acceptable to God are what Hebrews 12 calls illegitimate children (Hebrews 12:8) and not sons. Our sins, no matter who we justify it, brings consequences, for the wages of sin is death. Death to relationships, prosperity, health, intimacy with God, many consequences. Consequences for sin is not judgement, it is the result of choices made to live in sin, whatever that sin may be. Therefore, when people preach or prophecy judgment on a nation, they are prophesying from Mount Sinai, the old covenant. The demarcation is obvious as to who is preaching or prophesying from Mount Sinai and who is speaking from Mount Zion.

Hebrews 12 continues by saying, “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.” This is the new covenant we are called to preach, prophesy and project to believers of the new covenant. Legitimate sons of God, who are living in the truth, who are abiding in Christ, who are walking in intimacy with God will prophesy from this mountain and preach this mountains message.

It is easy to discern which mountain people are prophesying from, preaching from and proclaiming news about. Many amplified voices needs to be corrected, so we will see discipline coming from the Lord for their good, because the Father loves them, but they are not preaching from the right mountain, so their message is fear based, rather than filled with good news. You can speak the truth that leads to repentance without having a spirit of fear attached to it. God corrects us up, He wants us to live and not die and see the glory of the Lord in the land of the living and His discipline is not to hurt us, but to heal us, to help us, but we must turn from sin, listen to truth and be set free, so we can dwell in Mount Zion and proclaim the good news of this mountain. We can be transformed from illigetimate children to sons of God, but we must be willing to do all the Father says. I live in Mount Zion.

Effusive Eruption

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

On Tuesday night I was with a group of friends and as we were praying for one of the guys in our group, I saw a picture of a volcano with lava flowing down. It was red and gold, first and glory, coming down the mountain and it was creating a path others could walk in. I told him about the vision and he responded in kind, but I have not been able to get this vision out of my head since that night. I believe it was for him, but I believe it is also for the body of Christ. I have been leaning into learning about lava flow and volcanos this week and what I sense is we are about to see God release fire and golden glory out of the mountain of the Lord, but it is not going to come the way it has in the past. Let me explain.

Wikipedia says, lava flow is an outpouring of lava during an effusive eruption. Lava can flow great distances before cooling causes it to solidify. Lava exposed to air quickly develops a solid crust that insulates the remaining liquid lava, helping to keep it hot and inviscid enough to continue flowing. An effusive eruption is a type of volcanic eruption in which lava steadily flows out of a volcano onto the ground. Effusive eruptions form lava flows and lava domes, each of which vary in shape, length and width. Eruption will be effusive if the magma has a low ascent velocity.

Who knew there were different kinds of eruptions? I didn’t, but what we have seen in the church is huge eruptions of power that launch names we know into the air for all to see. These eruptions are what we have seen in the past. One man who is known for healing, prophecy, or prosperity, while the rest of the church watches in awe. This is not what I see happening again. I believe we are about to experience effusive eruptions, where the fire and golden glory of God flows down the mountain of God like lava. I believe this lava flow of the fire of God to purify and the golden glory of God to empower the people of God is coming to reach the masses. We need effusive eruptions that release flowing lava down the mountain of God (Isaiah 2) to the people of God, for Jesus said He came to baptize in the Holy Spirit and fire. We need a lava flow outpouring!

Voices That Build

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

When I first got saved over 30 years ago, I used to have open visions, word pictures that were so clear and when I would share them with whoever I was praying for, that vision would make sense to them and they were greatly encouraged. As we walk with Jesus He speaks to us in so many different ways. His languages are diverse and varied, but His voice is the same. He always builds up the hearer. I tell people even if God is correcting you, He is correcting you up not pushing you down. The voice of God is a builder in our lives and the way He speaks changes.

The changing ways God speaks to us can be challenging if you like routine. Now the Lord does not change the way he speaks “daily” so you are always caught off guard, but rather seasonally. We can have a long seasons of seeing certain numbers, or names, or verses that pop off the page at us. Maybe you have a season fo dreaming, visions or even seeing in the spirit while in worship. But then it stops and often we can feel like we did something wrong, when in actuality, the Holy Spirit is just speaking a different way, but He has not stopped speaking. So, we open our eyes and ears to other ways He may be speaking to us. It keeps the relationship fresh, fun and spontaneous.

The other day I was with a group of people and we were worshipping and one person began laying hands on someone and was just praying, I looked over at her to see if she was hearing anything, she said no, so I went over to pray for the same person and I saw a vision. Then I went to another person and saw another vision and then to a third and saw another vision. Each one was unique to that individual, and finally for one person I got one word. Tears flowed as I shared what I saw, not sadness, but the knowing God was speaking to them. I love the voice of God and sharing it with the people of God for it builds them up and we all need prophetic builders in our life.

Added Bonus

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

When you get hired at a new company, one of the first things you are told about are the benefits that come with the new position you have accepted. Benefits are not your salary, they are in addition to your salary. The principles and practices have been learned from the word of God and applied to governments, companies, families and even nations. We see a twisted version of this more readily than the righteous application of them, but if you strip it away, you will find everything stems back to the word of God, for He is the Creator and everything else is a counterfeit or copy of His creative word or works. This is one of the many reasons He is God and there is no one like Him.

In the realm of the kingdom a salary, which comes from the word salt actually is like our salvation. Our salvation comes from our confession of faith in Jesus the Christ as the only way to the Father (John 14:6), but our salvation is the base of our faith walk, it is not the completion of it. There are many benefits to being saved, walking in salvation and pursuing all that this kingdom offers and expects from us. I ran across one of the benefits of being a kingdom citizen just this morning.

Proverbs 28:5 says, “Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the LORD understand all things.” One of the benefits of seeking the Lord, seeking first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33) is we understand all things. This is not an all knowing you need no one to teach type of thing, this is if you are a seeker of the Lord, when justice rolls down like waters (Amos 5:24) you understand, while many others will not. When a shaking happens financially, you understand Babylon is falling and the financial kingdom is rising, while others will feel like it is the end of the world. Seeking the Lord gives you understanding into world events so you do not panic preach. Seek the King and His kingdom, the benefits are bountiful.

Adjustment of Order

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

I am thinking we got somethings out of order. We have been preaching to people their identity and to know who they are, but we cannot know who we are and be confident in that knowledge unless we know who He is. The pursuit of knowing who I am is secondary to knowing who He is. Knowing who God is should be our primary pursuit. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and ALL these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33). I am thinking because we are out of order, this is why we are not seeing more strength in the body of Christ, more confidence in the people of God and more faith in us corporately.

Psalm 27 activated this thought for me this morning because it says, “The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?” When we know who the Lord is we do not fear and we do not dread, because the Lord is light, salvation and a defense. Our lack of knowing who God is manifests in our lack of confidence in what God can do. We cannot have confidence in someone we do not know. Jesus knew who His Father was, so He never feared, dreaded or worried about anything, His knowledge was in His Father first.

Knowing God is not the end of the narrative, there is a need to know who we are as well, it just needs to be put in correct order. Psalm 27 goes on to say, “When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me, In spite of this I shall be confident.” The psalmist did not have this kind of confidence because he knew who He was, it was because he knew who His God was and that knowledge showed him who he was. I think if we adjust the order, we will find ourselves more confident, stronger, and able to resist the enemy more easily, not because we know who we are, but because we know who our God is. He is a mighty warrior, so I can be confident in the battle.

Titan Implosion

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

Two to three weeks ago the Lord spoke the word Titan to me. I did what I do to research what the word meant and what the Lord was saying abou it, but nothing stuck out to me. I shared the word with a friend of mine, but otherwise I was not sure what this word was saying or pointing to. Then this morning I went to do my prayer time in my typical way and the Lord say, not today, I tried to pray but it was falling flat, I knew I was to watch the YouTube video by Troy Brewer I saw the night before called Titan. I leaned into the Lord’s leading and watched the video.

Troy spoke about the sinking of the Titanic and the correlation it has to the submarine that imploded called the Titan. One of the points Troy made was the Titanic was led by Captain Millionaire, but the Titan was led by Captain Billionaire. Many other details were shared in the video, but what the Lord spoke to me immediately after I turned off the video is what I want to share with you.

In August 2022, the Lord sent me to Jekyll Island, GA to abort what was conceived there. What was conceived there was the Federal Reserve Bank. While there the Lord had me declare Babylon, Babylon is fallen (Revelation 18). I knew we were to abort the financial oppressive system that was conceived in that location. So, to learn today the Titanic hit the iceberg on April 14, 1912 and sank on April 15, 1912 and to learn April 15, 1913 is when tax day was instituted, I knew there was a correlation and this is what God was saying about Titan.

My friends, the Lord whispered to me the word Titan, it has been three weeks and with Troy Brewers insight into the Titan submarine implosion the Lord is saying, the Babylonian financial system has sunk and is imploding, We are about to be set free from this financial oppressor in a way we cannot even imagine. Titan is good news for some and bad news for others.

Walking With God

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

Walking with God through this life is more enjoyable than anything else we could ever do. It reminds me of the hymn we used to sing in our Lutheran Church in Redmond, WA that says, “Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus and to take Him at His word; just to rest upon His promise, and to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”” I can hear the organ playing in the background even as these lyrics run through my soul. These words are true, very true for those who truly trust in Jesus. It is no longer a song we sing, but a life we live, and in doing so we become the song and the song becomes us.

Yesterday, I went to Walmart to buy some coolant for my radiator, because my car overheated on Wednesday night and then again on Friday afternoon, after some diagnostic work, I realized my thermostat was bad. My friend Jenn and I put in a new thermostat on Friday night but I needed coolant for the radiator, so to Walmart I went. While at Walmart in the same automotive section I had been to over and over again for a year now, here in Franklin, TN, I never saw they had a tire and oil change center. It was as though it was hidden from me until yesterday. I had been looking at two new tires for my truck, and was going to drive 45 minutes to the only Walmart service center I knew of in Columbia, TN, so, to have this one appear before my eyes yesterday, in the store I shop in consistently, was a “miracle” for me. Then to be able to get the tires done right then and there with only a 90 minute wait was another “miracle”.

I don’t tell you all that so you know I fix my own car, but to say, when we walk with God, when we trust God, He opens up opportunities right in front of us, along our path He knows we are thinking about. It may seem small to you, but it was a God wink for me knowing the Lord is involved in all the details of life. I was looking at getting into a loan on another car, but God had a much cheaper fix for me, $10 thermostat and $300 tires and we are one alignment away from rolling down the road again in our faithful red truck. Walking with Jesus does not mean driving a new car that puts you in debt, it means creative ways to keep you moving until the money comes in to buy that car with cash. Contentment and gratitude are the keys to joy. I am grateful for the honor of walking with God.

Voice Activated

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

Voice Activate Gates, Doors and Heads, this is a voice activated kingdom. You words are powerful, that is why we are held accountable. I was praying Psalm 24 this afternoon and it says three access points, heads, gates and ancient doors. The voice activated command in Psalm 24 is for those entry ways to lift up. Lift up heads, lift up gates, lift up ancient doors. Lift up is not debatable, it is a command that must be obeyed, because the king of Glory is coming in. The gates of Jerusalem needed to be lifted up so Jesus could come riding in on a donkey; the doors of the temple needed to be lifted up so that Jesus could look around; and the ancient doors of Hades needed to lift up so the crucified Christ could come through those ancient doors and take back the keys, the first Adam lost in the fall of Genesis 3.

Jesus didn’t kick down any of these heads, gates or ancient doors. He used His voice to enter in them and access what was behind the gate, the ancient door. Once He had access everything changed. Matthew 16:18-19 says we have been given keys to bind and to loose. These are voice activated keys that bind earthly things like humanism, poverty, sexual identity and these voice activated keys loose Truth, Prosperity and Original Design. All voice activated. What we permit with our voice has access, what we bind with our voice is rendered powerless. Becareful what you say, for your echo either binds or looses on earth what is in heavenly realms. Not all heavenly realms are releasing blessings, some are releasing other things.

Revelation 3 says, Behold I, Jesus, stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice (voice activated) opens the door for me and lets me in, I will come and eat with him and He with me. My friends, this is a voice activated kingdom. Speak to the mountain and say be moved, speak to the door and say open, speak to the tree and say be uprooted, speak to that spirit and bind it. We have been given authority to open, close, bind and loose. It is all voice activated. Speak so the king of glory can come in!!!!
