Joy Is Manifesting

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

It is not coming, it is here! There is a move of God happening in our midst of the likes we have not heard or seen before. It is not a weeping revival; it is not a you and Jesus only revolution; it is not an evangelistic crusade; it is not a wave your hands and people fall down situation; no this is a move of proximity to God and people. He is not coming, He is here. It is not on the horizon, it is upon us. Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it? The change has happened. The manifestation of the new is here and oh my my my it is filled with joy, celebration and liberation.

We sang a song yesterday in church called Give Me Jesus. The bridge says, “I don’t want anyone else, I don’t need anyone else, You are my one thing, You are my one thing.” I was struggling to sing that line, because I do need other people, I do need other things. As the Lord and I were discussing this song, He said, “If you have Me, you get all those other things.” I knew He was saying remember Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” I leaned over to my friend Lauren, who was standing next to me at church and I said, “When we get Jesus we get all the other people and things as well. He just has to be priority one.” She smiled a huge smile and we both shouted, “Give me Jesus! Give me Jesus! You can have all this world, you can have all this world.”

Psalm 34 says, “Join me, everyone! Let’s praise the Lord together. Let’s make him famous! Let’s make his name glorious to all.” My friends, this is a corporate-body move. This is about proximity to God and to people. This is not a me and Jesus move, this is an us and Jesus move of God and it is coming with joy unspeakable. We were not meant to do life alone, we were meant to do life together. One final thing happened at church yesterday, for the first time, we literally had a conga line happening all around the building as joy broke out in the house. It was kids and parents, friends and families, it was old and young, it was a whole string of people singing, dancing, waving their scarfs, it was joy unspeakable. This has not happened before but I am sure it will happen again for this proximity revolution is here with joy, praise and healing and it has already begun to manifest.

Era of Proximity

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

November 20-30, 2023 was going to be a dream fulfilled as I was given a trip to Israel by my parents. They said, we sense it is time for you to go to Israel and we want to send you. The trip was booked back in the Spring with a runway of many months for my heart to marinate on the idea of walking on the land I read about everyday. I remember telling a friend about this trip and she declared, this trip will be a demarcation in your life that changes everything for you. I knew it was going to be true. When I got the email late October that due to the war in Israel it was not safe for us to go, so the trip was cancelled my heart sank. I knew it was the right decision, but I was really wanting to go on this trip. November 20th arrived, knowing I was supposed to be flying to Israel that day and again my heart was saddened by the reality I was not going. This week was going to to be a demarcation in my life. I was so excited to go, so the disappointment was real.

Little did I know, God was going to change something in my life not in Israel but in my heart. It was a demarcation week of the likes I did not see coming. Those words my friend Marcella Mitchell spoke over me in her kitchen about the trip to Israel are happening, just not in the place I thought it would. The Lord has walked me through a door, not to a nation I long to visit, but through a door in the spirit that is revealing things to me about the power of proximity in a way I have never seen or heard before. We have lived such distant lives from God and from each other, because pain, wounds, hurts, tells us to isolate from each other, but God says it is in community that we heal with one another.

Intimacy in community is the power of proximity that is going to be the mark of this era. The most vulnerable and powerful thing you can say to someone else is I need you in my life. We have experienced so much distance for so many years, but God is walking us through the door of proximity and intimacy for our healing. Isolation and distance does not work, we have tried it, now proximity and intimacy is being released to us and it is going to be the demarcation that changes our lives forever. Welcome to the era of proximity.

The Choice Is Yours

I spent 19 years pursuing the counterfeit thinking somehow, someway it was going to meet my need, satisfy my desire, heal my pain. I kept going back for another drink of that bottle, another hit on that pipe, another encounter with a man, only to leave empty every time. Yet somehow, the cycle of death would not let me go, it kept convincing me the counterfeit, if given another chance, would produce the results it promised, but over and over again, I received the same results, nothing the counterfeit offered brought about any change in my life. I became more and more numb, until I could literally not feel anymore, so thought what is the point of anything.

The counterfeit will have you continually coming back for more, while the authentic will fill you to overflow and produce in you a gratitude that will keep you full.

The authentic is legit, it does not lie, for the authentic is Jesus Christ, the God man, who came in the flesh to die for the sins of the world. He is the only way, the only truth and the only life, there is literally no other way to the Father of lights, but through Jesus Christ the son. It is a one way, narrow way, but it is the authentic way and when you surrender to His way, you will truly want no other way. Psalm 16 says, “You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” It is the cycle of life and Jesus Christ is the gift that keeps on giving.

If you want to get out of the cycle of life you can, but it takes a choice. I made my choice when I was 19 years old, I am now 53 and I am so thankful everyday for that decision I made so many years ago. When you make the choice it does not matter, but making the choice is literally a life and death decision. You can choose life right now, but it is your choice. It is not one time choice, it is a daily choice to live. You were created for life, but you must choose life. Death is an enemy, not an ally. The Bible says, the grave is one of the four things that never says enough, death will continually seek to keep you in the cycle of death, but Jesus is inviting you into life. Today, I pray you choose life, whether you are a Christian or not, today is the day of salvation, choose life and get in the cycle of life!!!!

Abundance on Arrival

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

Is it just me or do you sense something has shifted in the spirit toward a move of God like we have been praying for, believing for and hoping for? Many have tried to describe what they see coming. Bob Jones’ prophecy is lingering that a billion-soul harvest is near; others have said the death of Billy Graham will usher in a worldwide revival; Lance Wallnau and Johnny Enlow are declaring the taking over of the 7 mountains and still some are speaking of a financial windfall for the advancing of the kingdom of God on earth. Sometimes I think we hear what our heart beats for, our heart desires, our dreams that long to be seen and that is not wrong, it’s just our desire. So, what actually is coming that all of us can jump into and see on a macro level that will affect us on a micro level? I can only share what I am seeing in the spirit and what I am waiting for the manifestation of on the earth. I see abundance coming and upon its arrival it will release a repentance that only abundance can bring. Look at these two scriptures:

Isaiah 6:1-5 says, “I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.  Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

Luke 5:4-8 “When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”  When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.  So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”

When Isaiah saw the Lord as a victorious king, for the train of a kings robe is a statement about all the battles they have won, of which we know the Lord never loses a battle, so the train filled the temple, he had won a lot of battles. This vision of the goodness of God, the victories of God, the picture of God as victorious, didn’t bring pride or arrogance into Isaiah, it actually brought humility, repentance and a returning to the Lord God Almighty. The same thing happened to Peter, this professional fisherman, who worked all night and caught nothing, was not puffed up when the nets full of fish were breaking, he was actually humbled by the abundance on arrival.

What I see coming is an abundance of God’s goodness that is going to lead people to repentance not to arrogance. It is going to come with an abundance of healing, finances, reconciliation of relationships, return of prodigals and salvation of loved ones. God is going to shower us with an abundance of rain and upon its arrival, we are not going to rise up in pride, we are going to fall to our knees in worship. Weeping will proceed dancing, not out of sadness, out of being overwhelmed at how good He really is. We have a generation that believes God is mad, distance, untouchable and not interested in helping them, but God is about to show up and show out in a way that, like Isaiah and Peter is going to cause us to repent then rejoice because of the abundance.

Remember Paul said in Romans 2:4 “do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?” I believe abundance on arrival is going to bring us to our knees in worship like wrath, judgement and condemnation never could. Honestly, we all know we have fallen short of the glory of God, but how many of us know that He wants to pour out His abundance on us anyway? This unexpected, undeserved act of generosity from God is going to turn nations to the Name that is above all Names. Are you ready for abundance? It’s going to be bigger than you could ask or even begin to imagine.

A Woman’s Right to Choose

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

Happy International Women’s Day!

One of the mantra’s women live by is there right to choose. It is a God given right and no one can take it from her. She can choose what she does with her body, she can choose how she treats her husband and children, she can choose how she spends her money. It’s her choice. No one can tell her what to do. Yes, this is true, as a woman, you have a choice and this choice was given to you by God Himself. He is not afraid of your choices, for He is the one that gave you the power to choose. He put two trees in the garden and said pick one, it is your choice (Genesis 3). Eve made her decision, she chose the tree of good and evil wanting to be like God rather than choosing the tree of life and trusting God. It was her choice and she chose. No one is trying to take away your ability to choose, they can’t because God gave you the right of choice. But what if they were not trying to take away your ability to choose but were trying to reveal to you the consequences of your choice?

Every human being gets to make their own choices, but with choice comes responsibility and with responsibility comes the need for wisdom because not every choice will produce the results that is says it will on the label. You can choose to have sex outside of marriage, but there are consequences; you can choose to neglect your children, but there are consequences; you can choose to pursue money, but there are consequences. The choices are endless, but the pain we face is not because we made the right choice, but because we or someone else made the wrong choice. Whenever we choose our selfish desires, the results will always produce pain, not immediately usually, but eventually.

Pain that is the result of our choices or someone else’s choices leave women with yet another choice. Women have the right to choose to be angry or break the alabaster jar. Whatever we choose will have consequences, but I will tell you upfront I have chosen both and one produces life and the other produces death. Paul said, “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tender-hearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.…” (Ephesians 4:30-32). When I struggled with being angry, I did not recognize it in myself, my husband said to me one day, honey, you are very angry. I exploded, what do you mean I am angry, I am not angry. But his words pierced my heart and I sought the Lord and this is what He told me, get rid of anger. I said, Lord, how do I get rid of anger, He said, just tell it to go. So, I exercised my authority and told anger to get out. I know it sounds simple, but the kingdom is not complicated.

Once anger was gone, I had another choice to make, was I going to go back to anger or grab an alabaster jar. In Matthew 26:6-7 we meet a woman who, “While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.” The alabaster jar was broke open and poured out upon Jesus, the smell would have filled the room. I know it was a literal bottle of perfume, but I believe metaphorically it was this woman’s broken heart being poured out on the Lord. You see, anger is a cover up for pain, so people don’t get close enough to you again and hurt you. I know, remember I was angry, but what the Lord showed me is that I was really hurting and didn’t want anyone to know.

When we choose to pour out our heart to the Lord, it is like sweet perfume that fills the throne room. The Bible says, David was a man after God’s own heart and if you read the Psalm’s I believe it is because he was brutally honest with God about his pain. Ladies, we have a right to choose, we can choose to be angry or we can choose to pour out our alabaster jar of perfume. One is going to keep people away from us and one is going to draw the presence of God to us so we can be healed. Your pain becomes perfume in the throne room of God when you pour it out on Jesus, rather than lashing it out on others. You have a right to choose, God says, in Deuteronomy 30:15, “See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction”. It’s a woman’s right to choose, what choice will you make, anger or alabaster? I choose life and prosperity, I hope you do as well. Happy International Women’s Day!

Calling To Cities

Published on by lisagreatenebeli2 Comments
Calling to Cities 2.28.17
 
While in prayer today for our nation, the Lord began to give me the eyes to see what He is saying about some of our cities and states. As I saw what He was saying, I began to write as fast as I could what I heard Him saying and the images that He was releasing to me about these cities. Here is what I heard and saw today…
 
Spokane, WA: Hot Tub of Healing, it will be the healthiest city in the US again. He is going to flow from Spokane to Seattle and they will be sister cities of healing.
 
Los Angeles, CA: Storehouse of heavenly messengers. God houses the heavenly messengers for America in LA and when they are called upon to fulfill and assignment they are sent from here.
 
Redding, CA: Financial Mountain. This city will be a financial epi-center inside the mountain which is Redding. Just like we cannot see the activity that is present inside a volcano, this city is going to explode financially.
 
Kentucky: This state is going to win the Triple Crown over sickness, poverty and divorce. The three crowns they will get are health, wealth and covenant.
 
Detroit, MI: The motor city will power the nation. There is going to be so much power coming out of this city, the whole nation will look here as the power source of our nation.
 
New York: Niagara Falls is like the voice of many rushing waters. There is going to be many voices that come out of this state, loud voices that proclaim truth.
 
Kansas City, MO: Heart of America, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth will speak. Oracles, mouthpieces, and a new wave of prophetic voices will arise from here.
 
Colorado Springs, CO: Ministry mecca. There will be word ministries that carry revelation coming out of this city. Revelation light will shine again in this city.
 
Las Vegas, NV: Currently known as sin city. Where people once came for pleasure, the Lord is making it a place where people come to be in plumbline. It’s going to be a plumbline city for the nation.
 
Chicago, IL: This is a city of entrepreneurs, leaders, influencers and builders. It will become the government hub of the United States. The kingdom of God will reign in this city.
 
Minneapolis, MN: This is a city of musical geniuses. Worship music will arise from here on the level of Beethoven and Mozart. Listen for new sounds to arise out of this city.
Des Moines, IA: This city will be giving a state of the harvest address to the nation. They will produce new forms of energy, far beyond ethanol. There’s going to be an agricultural revolution that comes out of Iowa.
 
New Orleans, LA: There is a river of revelation coming out of this city, that is going to bring healing to the nations.
South Carolina: This state is going to be an exporter of sons. They will begin to build schools of sonship to train, equip and deploy sons of the kingdom.
 
Dallas, TX: America’s 5-fold ministry team will come out of this city. This team will be the 5 – fold ministry team for the nation.
 
Houston, TX: You have been known for physical oil, but now you will be known for the oil of joy that breaks the spirit of heaviness. There is an oil coming on this city that will loose that city from the spirit of heaviness.
 
Atlanta, GA: You are an International Apostolic Center that will be like a harbor boss for the South.
 
Phoenix, AZ: Is a watchman city. You will sound the alarm, blow the trumpet, alert the nation to any enemy that may try to invade.
 
Salt Lake City, UT: You are currently a dead sea city, but just like in Ezekiel 37, this city will live again and be an exporter of salt believers to the nations. You are a sending city of salt shakers to the nations.
 
Isaiah 61:6-7 says, “You will be known as the ones specially chosen by the Eternal as priests;
people will speak of you as ministers of our God.
And the wealth of nations will come to you for your delight and enrichment.
7 Many called you disgraced and defiled and said that shame should be your share of things.
Yet you suffered doubly and lived in disgrace;
So double will be your share, and with joy everlasting.

Hotspots

Published on by lisagreatenebeliLeave a comment

In the world of technology our phones have the ability to be a wifi hotspot, this means that if there is no wifi available, we can tap into our phone to generate a signal that will empower other devices to connect to our wifi. As I was in church last night, the Lord spoke to me and said, “just stand, I am transmitting my presence through you into this room, you are a hotspot”. As I did this, eyes closed, heart wide open, and ears alert to the sounds around me, the worship leader began to lead the congregation into a spontaneous spiritual song, inviting the kingdom to come, then a woman behind me began to weep, wail and cry out to the Lord from the depths of her being, to the left of me a young child of 7 years began with a loud voice to cry out for the kingdom. The Lord said, “you are a hotspot, they are tapping into the presence of God that is coming through you”.

I love that God uses pictures to get His point across and that He is technology literate so He can communicate with our generation in a way they understand. So, here is how you become a wifi hotspot wherever you may be…

  1. Live a no resistance to God lifestyle. He is the source of power, we are just the hotspot He is working through. (2 Corinthians 4:7)
  2. Whenever possible, tap into the presence of God, so He can release power through you. This takes sensitivity to His spirit. (2 Corinthians 5:7)
  3. Never forget you are a mobile kingdom, you have authority to heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons. (Mark 16:17-18)
  4. Remember when you die to yourself, He gets glory. (John 12:28-36)
  5. Your life is called to communicate to everyone you meet, be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Every one of us can be a hot spot for the presence of God to flow through. The more yielded we are to God, the more He can work through us, for there is no interference. Remember, we are the temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16), but just like with wifi in our house, the more walls the signal has to go through the weaker the signal gets. So, let down your guard, open your heart and let the presence of God flow through you freely for others to experience His love, His power, His presence, His touch, His truth, and anything else of His He wants to release through you. All you have to do is get out of the way. Remember what John the Baptist said, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30, ESV). The more holy, set apart from the world you are willing to live, guarding your eye gate, ear gate and mouth gate, the more power will flow through you. You determine the broadband width by the choices you make. We are God’s hotspots on earth.
