The Sacred Portion

Did you know your tithe is the sacred portion and it must be removed from your house, this is a command of the Lord? In the church we hear a lot about removing wickedness from our house, but when’s the last time your were told to remove the sacred portion from your house? When you keep, spend or eat the sacred portion you are disobeying the command of the Lord. The sacred portion belongs to the Lord and the sacred portion has the blessings of God in it. I suggest you sow the sacred portion, so God can bless you, your house and everything that bears your name.

Deuteronomy 26:13-15 “You shall say before the LORD your God, ‘I have removed the sacred portion from my house, and also have given it to the Levite and the alien, the orphan and the widow, according to all Your commandments which You have commanded me; I have not transgressed or forgotten any of Your commandments. I have not eaten of it while mourning, nor have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor offered any of it to the dead. I have listened to the voice of the LORD my God; I have done according to all that You have commanded me. Look down from Your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel, and the ground which You have given us, a land flowing with milk and honey, as You swore to our fathers.’”

Healing the Land

In a little town called Pawhuska, OK some really big things happened. In the 1920’s the Osage Tribe struck oil on land they owned. Big money oil, it made the Native Americans very very rich. Where there’s big money there’s problems and this place was no different as men came and murdered the Osage people, over 60 of them for the money. You can find details in the book called Flower Moon Murders.

Well today the Lord sent us down there to set fire to the root of the injustice, to ask for forgiveness and to cleanse the land of this thief spirit that literally came to steal, kill and destroy.

There is another big thing in this little city who goes by the name Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman. She has been featured on the Food Network and has a restaurant called the Merchantile here, but at 11am the wait was 3 hours, so we went to the Grill 125. The reason she is a big deal is because of her fame, but for us it was because when we opened the ancient gates on the Old Road at the Madonna’s of the trail, she is also called The Pioneer Woman.

Today was the capstone to a years worth of prophetic adventures and as Bev said, “The Lord has brought us full circle!” We left there satisfied that our mission was accomplished and God Himself is going to be glorified in this nation, from the First People to the current people. To God Be the glory great things He has planned for the nations.

Look For The Harvest

Did you know your words are seeds and as you speak them in prayer they are thrown out in front of you? I saw the image of a sprinkler in prayer this morning spraying words into the future. The Lord showed me our prayers go into our future and as we continue to move in time, we catch up to those seeds (words) we sowed in prayer, but know they are a harvest of answers.

Prayer is instant in times of desperation, but most are answered in time. When we remember what we prayed, we give thanks for the harvest of answers when they come in our lives or someone else’s life. When we pray God always hears, so look for answers in your future not your present. Farmers know you don’t harvest the day you sow, but if you sow you will harvest.

Ecclesiastes 11:1 & 6 “Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, for you will find it after many days.” “Sow your seed in the morning and do not be idle in the evening, for you do not know whether morning or evening sowing will succeed, or whether both of them alike will be good.”

Sing

Have you ever heard the enemy mocking you, saying, I thought you said,God said? Have your external realities ever contradicted your internal promises God has given you? Have you ever wondered, how long O Lord, how long? These are usually not publicly spoken thoughts but very real to those who had them, and this is why the book of Psalms is a great prayer partner. Truth spoken is freedom revealed, truth prayed is freedom sealed.

When we pray the word, we partner with those who have experienced the same or similar realities to us and the word prophesies to us. In Psalm 137 the psalmist is remembering captivity in Babylon and being mocked by their captors. But the answer to the mocking was to remember the promise, sing the promise, and cherish the promise. For them the promise was Jerusalem for us it’s something different but equally valuable.

Sing the songs of the Lord my friends, sing. Singing lifts our spirits, renews our minds and motivates our feet to keep going. Songs are musical movement that keeps us alive, no matter what it looks like around us. Even if the enemy mocks you, sing, sing, sing it is your salvation!

The Season Has Changed

The season in the spirit has changed can you see it?

The season has changed can you smell it?

The season has changed can you hear it?

This is not a I hope so because I’m done with the last season, this is a decision God made, it’s His timing we’re in.

The season has changed I hope you know it.

When a season changes the manifestation is slow at first then seemingly instant.

When a season changes people slowly shift what they wear, what they eat and what they do.

When a season changes everything eventually changes, can you see it, hear it, smell it yet?

Song of Songs 2:10-13 “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along. For behold, the winter is past The rain is over and gone. The flowers have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for pruning the vines, And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land. The fig tree has ripened its figs, And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along!’”

He Does Whatever He Pleases

I love it when God makes it clear He is God and no human, no idol, no nothing else is God. I love it because it puts the actions of people in perspective. Whether their ruling from a position of power or demonstrating in the streets at this hour. He is still the only God, He has the final say, He is the Judge who rules with justice. He alone is God and Psalm 135:6 tells us “Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.”

It’s statements like this that make me relax in the midst of chaos; keep me in peace when anxiety is in the air; and it shows me who to turn to when I see things that are fingerprints of the thief who steals, kills and destroys. Jesus said in John 16:33, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart I’ve overcome the world.” He is God and no matter what people may do, He is still God, He is still good, and He still has a plan for the nations that can’t be thwarted. Rejoice and pray, for Yahweh does whatever He pleases and He’s about to release the best news our generation has ever heard.

Truth

The enemy has one weapon…deception. He has mastered his weapon, he wields it on us often and it is truly a weapon of mass destruction.

The Lord has many weapons, but the weapon of choice against the enemies weapon of deception is TRUTH. The Lord has given us the Bible that is truth. If we are defeat deception in our life, our family, our church, our city, our state, our nation, the nations we need those who have mastered the weapon of TRUTH.

Truth is a person, truth is a book, truth is a spirit and the more truth we hear, believe and receive the more powerful we are. Only truth sets us free from deception, only truth awakens us, only truth penetrates the wall of deception that has many bound. Become a lover of truth, it is your salvation, your strength, your everything for success.

John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

You Are Blessed

You are blessed! It doesn’t matter what you feel; it doesn’t matter what you see; it doesn’t matter what you have said; I’m telling you, you are blessed and the enemy has deceived you into believing your not. How do I know, because if you are in the bloodline of Christ through His redemption and resurrection you are blessed.

Deuteronomy 7:9 says, “Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments.”

Did Jesus keep God’s commandments? Did Jesus keep God’s covenant? Did Jesus love God? Yes, yes and yes again. How many generations have happened between Christ and us? Generations not years. Has it been a thousand? No. It’s only been by biblical estimates based on the genealogy Matthew 1 laid out, only 28 generations. There has been 1988 years since AD 33 when Jesus died. 1988 (70) = 28.4 generations. So, we are well within the Deuteronomy 7:9 truth of to the thousandth generation.

You are blessed! Fact, truth, can’t be changed or altered, can only be denied by beliefs it’s not true which produce actions that affirm the belief. You are blessed! Talk blessed, think blessed, act blessed, love as though your blessed, serve as though your blessed, you are blessed, because Jesus loved God and kept His commandments. You are blessed!

Yahweh is a Voice

Yahweh is a voice not a form. He is the sound of words only! Everything in creation has a voice, the voice of God speaks through every prophetic act. Salt has a voice and it speaks life to death in the water (2 Kings 2); oil speaks healing to sickness and disease (James 5); the shofar speaks salvation to the nation (Joshua 6); communion speaks life to every cell in your body (Luke 22); can you hear the voice of creation speaking the words of God as Psalm 19 says?

Then the crowning of God’s creation is people and He speaks to us and through us. Idols have mouths but cannot speak (Psalm 115); but you, but me we have a mouth and His breath in our lungs so His voice comes through our mouth and when we speak it’s the voice of God in the earth. Speak life, speak hope, speak God’s word for its His voice coming through you! Yahweh is a voice, He is the sound of words.

Deuteronomy 4:12 “Then the LORD spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you heard the sound of words, but you saw no form—only a voice.”

Listen to Caleb

The 11 spies who were sent into the promised land came back with a report detailing the people of the land, the giants in the land and the fortified cities in the land, then tagged on oh yeah here’s the fruit and yes it flows with milk and honey. The detailed report of the enemy put fear in the people so they didn’t crossover into their promised land.

Those who give details about the enemy and what he is doing create fear in the people of God and keeps them out of where God prepared to bring them into. If you want to go into the promised land you must not listen to those who describe all the enemy is doing. Find the Caleb’s who saw the enemy but know their God. Listen to the Caleb’s even though their the minority, not the 11 spies, if you want to go into the promised land for its crossover time.

Numbers 13:30-33 “Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us.” So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size. There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
