Dealing With Distractions Through Setting Our Hearts On the Spirit!!!

Hello Precious One!

There is sooooo  much constant distraction coming at us trying to pull us in.    The scriptures tell us not to look to the left or the right but to set our heart on things above (heavenly realities) and to fix the eyes our heart on Jesus!   “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the Joy set before Him endured the Cross, scorning and despising its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:2-3.

   Jesus set His heart on the Joy before Him, the heavenly realities of being with the Father and with us for all of eternity!    This is a powerful key for us when life becomes very challenging.   “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your heart on things above (heaven realities) where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.   Set your minds on things above (heavenly realities) NOT on earthly things.  For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God (in the heavenly realm).” Colossians 3:1-3. 

   The distractions that are trying pull us away from this heavenly mindset, are trying to overwhelm with stuff, challenges, difficulties…. of this world.     The trouble and challenges will always be here, but we are all learning to keep our hearts fixed on the Joy set before us!   This is how Jesus did it, His heart was set on the Joy of heaven, being with the Father and with us, not on all the problems of the Cross.

   As we look and focus the eyes of heart on the problems, circumstances of life,  we tend to grow weary and lose heart.   If you or I are getting weary, tired and burdened, we need to look at what we are focusing on.   The troubles of this life from the enemy are meant to steal, kill, destroy, disappoint, and discourage us.   What we focus on, and let into our heart, determines the quality of our life.    “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”       As we see ourselves In Christ, in the heavenly realm where we are perfected, glorified, one with Jesus, as He is, with His heart of Joy, Love, Peace and supernatural power, we become encouraged and full of the abundant life! 

       “Be strong and very courageous.  Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave to you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.   Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything in it.  Then you will be prosperous and successful.   Have I not commanded you?   Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:7-9.     

    Now this is an old covenant verse and we in the new covenant, are no longer the law,   “But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in a new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.” Romans 7:6.      We are now new creations who have been given the heart and Spirit of Jesus, and become more than conquerors, strong and courageous.   As we meditate, take hold, behold of who we have become as new creations in Christ, in the Spirit, we won’t become terrified, weary, discouraged or lose heart as we fix our hearts, not moved from the left or right, from our heavenly realities of being In Christ Jesus! 

 So we focus and set our hearts on the heavenly realities of the Joy, Love, Peace and supernatural and miraculous power of Christ whom we are one with and whom we have become “as He is.”      We live in two realms at the same time, the earthly realm and the Spiritual realm of heaven.   We are all in the process of becoming more Spiritual and heavenly minded, of manifesting of who we have already become In Christ Jesus!     We are growing from glory to glory and into the likeness of Christ, as we behold the glory of the Lord and see ourselves in Him, as He is, apart from the veil of anything in our flesh and the law!           SHALOM!!!!!!!

Is God Sleeping? Is He Withholding Blessings From Me? Is God My Problem?

Hello Precious One!

Is healing, prosperity, favor, miracles, blessing…. Something that is outside of ourselves that we need God to do for us, or, are all these things already inside of us and the real problem is how to manifest what is already inside of us?   So many people are crying out for God to move on their behalf because they don’t believe He has moved yet.   This belief is, as if God is sleeping and really lax on His job, so my prayers are to move God and wake Him from His apathy!   Most people will deny this, but if we listen to a lot of prayers, the prayers are so trying to prod God to do something as if He has not or is not doing anything!   I simply believe this is unbelief on our part. 

 The Bible says that we have already been healed, that we have been given every Spiritual in the heavenly realms, that we are one with God and inside of the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of heaven is inside of us, Now!     I am not waiting on God to move, He is not my problem!  I believe that the problem is my lack of revelation by the Holy Spirit in the depths of my being that “I am as Jesus is,” one with Him, perfected, glorified, and completely healed, seated in the heavenly realms with the kingdom of God inside of me already, and recipient of every spiritual blessing that exists in the heavenly realm, and this all happened the second I became the new creation In Christ!

  I believe that other people and circumstances are not my biggest problem either.   People and circumstances can be very troublesome, but if my heart is 100% full of the Father’s Love, Peace, Joy and power, if I know that I have the power and authority of God inside of myself, just like Jesus, and I know in the depths of my being that I am more than a conqueror in all things, people and circumstances lose their power over me!!!

  Intellectual knowledge of these Truths does not equate with the power and conquering Love of the Holy Spirit!  There are many people who know these Truths in their heads, yet are not manifesting the power and Love of the Father!   All of us are in this predicament to some degree or another!   Even Paul did not manifest the kingdom fully. 

 He wrote, “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have been made perfect (in his flesh), but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.  Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.   But one thing I do:  Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal…..” Philippians 3:12-14.       

   Notice he was not crying out for God to move, or he was not blaming others or circumstances; No, he was intent and focused on taking hold that which Christ Jesus had already done to him!  Christ Jesus had already taken hold of him and made him into a new creation, perfected in Christ, so he was taking hold of this Truth!   This was the one thing he was doing, not pleading or demanding God to move on his behalf, no he was taking hold of the Truth in deeper and deeper ways by the power of the Holy Spirit!

   Could you imagine what the church would be  like once we stop blaming God, others, and circumstances for our problems and start taking responsibility for the lack that we manifest from our own hearts and start pressing into the Holy Spirit in full knowledge that we are as Jesus is and the kingdom of God is within us now with all of its blessings!   That we already exist in heaven and everything the Father is and has is already ours!!!!

  We just now go deeper and deeper into the relationship with Holy Spirit for the revelation of these Truths which come from Him!   The more we blame God, others, circumstances, or the past as my biggest problem, the more I am reinforcing the belief of my own powerlessness!   The more we believe that I am as Jesus is, in every way, glorified, perfected, healed, one with Him, Now; I reinforce the Truth and the Truth sets us free!   Holy Spirit is the one who opens the eyes of our heart so this Truth transforms us into the likeness of Christ!!!!      SHALOM!!!!!!

Feasting, Drinking, Celebrating Now In Our Heavenly Home!!!!

Hello Precious One!

Do you see yourself living as a member of God’s household right now?    I have been into many households and each one I have been into, is a little bit different.   In some households, I have felt very welcome and the atmosphere was light, fun and friendly.   In others, the mood was tense and uptight.  How do you think the mood, atmosphere in our heavenly Father’s household? 

 “In His presence is the fullness of Joy and pleasures forevermore at His right hand.” Psalms 16:11.      What does a household of the fullness of Joy look like to you?  Really, think about this.    The presence, the atmosphere, the mood of the household of our heavenly Father is the fullness of Joy!   What about a household full of pleasures forevermore, what does this like?

 It could not be a brothel or anything of the fleshly sort because the short-lived pleasures in a place like that come back and fill people with shame, guilt, weakness, emptiness, and eventually deep darkness to the soul.   The pleasures in the household of the Father are for eternity, the pleasures are ever-lasting!   There is this continual sense of wholeness, peace, satisfaction, fullness.   It is life to its fullest sense delight, celebration and that the more pleasure we experience, the greater sense of wholeness we feel!  Pleasures from the Father are pure goodness, without anything dark or evil or sense of doing wrong!

   “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household.” Ephesians 2:19.       We are no longer separated, outside, disconnected with the Father and His people, we have become one with the Father and Jesus and all of His people!     “In Him we live and move and have our being”!   No circumstance can change this inward spiritual Truth and reality!

 Once we become the new creation in Christ, we become filled with the fullness of His divine nature, we are given His with His Spirit, His heart, and His Life continually flowing through us!  We were crucified with Christ and old man in sin, weakness, fear and lack has been crucified, killed and buried!   We didn’t just make a decision to follow Christ to the best of our abilities.  No!   We became new creations, we became supernatural beings, no longer mere human, filled with the fullness of Christ, and have been raised with Him and seated in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus!

  His eternal Life, full of the kingdom of heaven, is always flowing into us, in an existence far above the realm of just being merely human.   We have a human dimension to us still, but we have been made into a new creation, filled with the supernatural Life, “Zoe” of God!!!!   We are now one with Jesus, perfected and glorified and are as He is!  

 We have become members of His household!!!!   The Bible does not say we will become members in the future, it says we already have been raised with Christ, that we have already been crucified and co-resurrected with Him!     “If we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with in HIS resurrection.” Romans 6:5.    We have been joined to His resurrection like we were joined to His death.

  We just need the Holy Spirit to breathe Life and power and “Zoe” into these Truths!   Intellectual understanding does very little in living a transformed life like the Holy Spirit does to us with His deep revelation to the core and essence of our being!    To just hear the words “we are members of God’s household”, won’t transform our life, but when the Holy Spirit breathes Life on these words and we start to see heaven as our present homeland, just as real as our home on earth, our life is transformed!

   As we open our heart to Holy Spirit, He breathes life transforming “Zoe” onto our inner being!   Enter into the Truth, “we are members of God’s household”!   Let Holy Spirit take you to the depths of this incredible Truth and reality!    It is like going over to your best friend’s house when you may be sad and the second you walk in, your spirit is lifted.  Being a member of God’s household now, is similar, but infinitely better and infinitely more powerful!!!!!     

 “We feast on the abundance of your house;  You give us drink from the River of your Delights.  For with You is the Fountain of Life.” Psalms 36:8-9.      So we just come on in and enjoy, feast, and drink of the River of His Delights, Joy and Pleasures in the Holy Ghost, until the reality of our heavenly home is more real and powerful than our earthly home!!!!!        SHALOM!!!!!!!!

In Him, We Live. Move, and Have Our Being!

Hello Precious One!

What is consuming your life, the circumstances of life on earth, or, your Life In Christ, in the Spirit, in the heavenly realm, in the heart of the Father?      As we drink and get overwhelmed with the Truth and overwhelming power of the Father’s Love, by the Holy Spirit, the Spiritual heavenly realm will have a continual grip on our heart and change our outward circumstances!!!!!!                 “In Him, we live, move and have our being.” Acts 17:28.        This was one of the first memory verses I ever had, but that is all it was to me, a verse lodged in my memory, it didn’t have the “Life” or the “Zoe” of the Holy Spirit on it.

          The Father created us to be consumed with Him, His Love, His Joy, His power, His Life flowing into and through us with absolute and complete freedom!   Rivers of His Living Water, His Spirit are flowing into us and as we acknowledge and abide in this Truth, we will manifest the fullness of the kingdom of heaven on the earth!    The Father is always and continually pouring His Love into our heart through the Holy Spirit so that we would “live, move and have our being” in the depths and full measure of His Love!

  Circumstances were never meant to overwhelm us with weakness, fear and lack!!!!  We were created and then rebirth into this new creation, with the Father’s very own spirit and heart of Love, power, Joy and Peace flowing into and through us regardless of the power of the attack coming against us.   Circumstances were never meant to control us and be our life, to be what moves us, and to be what determines our being!   The inward reality of the heavenly Spirit realm is what is to be the power inside of our hearts!  

The Father’s heart has been given to us in full reality and substance!   We are to look beyond the old attitudes of the residual from the old heart and abide in the free gift of the Father’s Grace in giving to us His exact heart!   Isn’t this amazing that we have the exact same heart of the Father inside of us right now!!!!!!      We may not feel His new heart, but like everything else in the kingdom of God, it is accessed by Faith alone!

  We believe the Truth of God’s Word that He has given us His heart and we simply take hold of this Truth, regardless of the old attitudes of the old man that may still come into our mind!     The more we take hold and behold of the Truth of our new creation in Christ, a part from the law which exposes the weakness of our behavior, and purely see ourselves In Christ, one with Him, as He is, Glorified and perfected seated in the heavenly realms, the more we will manifest the likeness of Christ with ever-increasing Glory!!!!!!   The more we see ourselves In Him, live in Him, move in Him, and have the totality of our being In Him, the more we will manifest His life on the earth!!!   “On earth, as it is in heaven.”!!!!!!

   In the midst of all of our circumstances, we are to see ourselves “In Him, in whom live, move and have our being.”   We are growing in the grace to where our heart is established in this Truth!   Nothing on the outside of us, no circumstance, can change the Truth and reality that we are In Him, as Him and living in the heavenly realms right now!    We just see our entire being wrapped up and consumed totally by the total reality that we always are living In Him!   This is always the Truth about ourselves whether we acknowledge and believe it or not.    We just want to abide and manifest the Truth of who we are inside of the Father and In Christ Jesus!       SHALOM!!!!!

Prophetic Words About Gallup In The Revealing Of The Father's Heart!

Prophetic Words about Gallup              written on 9-25-2013

I was talking to a sister named, Pat, in Gallup today whom the Lord told to move to Gallup from Pennsylvania because there was going to be a BIG move of God there.   This was an amazing and an extremely encouraging phone call to say the least!!!!   The Lord has spoken to her of a major move of God in Gallup, not a small revival like might happen in a tent meeting.   This is to be a complete, all powerful, move of the Father on His people with complete transformation the entire people and land.  She has heard that this would be done in and through His Love!   Organizations and churches have tried to make the revival happen, but she knows that only a mighty move of the Spirit of God could do this.    Her words deeply excited me as she shared, and my words excited her as I shared!   Her words confirmed what I have been hearing and my words confirmed what she had been hearing.  

I have been told that the Move of the Spirit in Gallup would come from the Father.   This is what I heard:  “This is My move, on My People, in the revealing of My Heart, like the earth has never seen before.  It would not be flesh or flash; no man or ministry, but again, His move on His people.”  He said it would similar to Toronto in that people would fly in from all over the world to experience the power of His Heart.  He said people with severe mental illness would be supernaturally healed instantly and completely restored to a complete clear and powerful mind!

  He referred me to Isaiah 61 where it says, “They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.”   He then asked me if I wanted to be a part of it.  I said, “Yes Sir”!!!!!!   The Lord said that the real all-stars of this move would not be about the fancy preachers and their fancy sermons, but the people themselves, mostly the street people.   I saw an almost endless line of people waiting in line to give their testimony to how the Lord had completely transformed their life, their heart by His Love!!!!!

  Just recently the Lord spoke to me through Kevin and Rob, a friend from the Lake Tahoe area,  from Ezekiel 36:33-37 about the move in Gallup.   Actually Kevin heard this word four years ago.   “This is what the Sovereign Lord says:  On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will be rebuilt.  The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it.  They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the Garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.”  Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’  This is what the Sovereign Lord says:  Once again I will yield to the plea of the house of Israel and do this for them:  I will make their people as numerous as sheep, as numerous as the flocks for offerings at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts.   So the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people.  Then they will know that I am the Lord.”!!!!!!!!!!!!    YES   LORD!!!!!!!!!!

When Kevin and I were ministering there a couple years ago, a religious guy came into our tent and asked if we were from a local church.   I told him that we were not, but that the Spirit had told us to minister the Love of the Father to the broken and wounded hearts of the people.   He got all mad and left the tent in a huff!   I called my friend Rob and told him what had just happened.  He started to prophesy saying that the BIG move of the Spirit would not come through organized religion, but would come mostly from the people in the streets who were insatiably hungry for Him!

The Father recently told me that the move of the Spirit in the revealing of His heart of Love has already started!  People who are hungry for Him and His heart of Love will be transformed dramatically, but people who want position and recognition in the movement will kind of like fall off the tree.

He said He wants to transform the whole people and their cities and land.   He wants to feed, house and care for the destitute and breathe Life into their hearts!  He has spoken about growing healthy food , training for all kinds of jobs so the people can prosper!  People will live in the abundance of the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth!   They will be a demonstration to the Love, Goodness and power of God!  The reputation for the city, people and land will be radically changed!  Gallup and all of its friends will be demonstration of heaven on earth!  

 This will not be the only city that God will move on with power, but the special or unique Move of the Father will be in the revealing His Heart of Love in an unprecedented way!   This will be the overriding characteristic of this move.  Other places will have their unique place in the manifold Grace of God, but this will be the strong, unmistakable move in Gallup!

Pat, the lady mentioned above, told me that a national TV show like 20/20 was interviewing President Kelsey Begay  a few years back and asked him what it would take to turn the Navajo nation around.   His answer was:  “A New Heart”!!!!!!!      This is exactly what the Father is going give to the Navajo people and the other peoples of Gallup and surrounding areas!

“THIS IS MY MOVE ON MY PEOPLE IN THE REVEALING OF MY HEART, LIKE THE EARTH HAS NEVER SEEN BEFORE”!!!!!!

“Do you want to be a part of it?”         Yes Sir!!!!!!!!!!!

We will be going to Gallup on a continual basis until we are set up permanently there!!!!

   HALLELUJUH!!!!!!!!!

Heavenly Connoisseurs!!!!

Hello Precious One!

“In His presence is the fullness of Joy and pleasures forevermore, at His right hand.” Psalms 16:11             We live In Christ and in the heavenly realms on a continual nonstop basis in the Spirit.   We are always in the presence of God our Father because we live In Christ Jesus!   So we are always in His presence of the fullness of His Joy!   What does the fullness of Joy look like to you?   What were you doing when you felt this fullness of Joy?  Multiply what you felt and experience by infinity to know the fullness of Joy in the heavenly Spirit realm!

  If something is full, that means that there is no room for anything else.   Heaven is the realm of the fullness of His Love, Joy, peace, power, abounding wealth and complete wholeness of every area of our being!  What does this realm of the fullness of Love, Joy, Pleasures, delights, power…. Look like, feel like, to you?  

 Whatever brings you the most joy that is what you will be doing in heaven for all of eternity.   There will never be boredom in heaven, because His Love is always new and fresh!  We will not be taking classes about Joy in heaven, NO! we will be experiencing the fullness of His Joy and Love every second for all of eternity!

  Everything is alive and always changing.  There are continual new expressions for us to experience of the Father’s Love and Joy every second of every day.    Heaven is the realm of infinite Joy, Love and supernatural power where no limits of the flesh exist!  We can do all things without any limits!  We have been crucified with Christ, then raised with Christ into the heavenly Spiritual realm!  We have been seated with Christ in the Heavenly realms and we ARE members of God’s household!

 In the heavenly Spiritual realm, we always in His Presence living In Christ; glorified, perfected, one with Him and as He is!           We have already been seated in the heavenly realm and we are there NOW!!!!   Can you imagine yourself in heaven right now?   What would see?  What would feel?   What would that experience be like?   The Truth is that you are there, in heaven, right Now in FULL REALITY!!!!     Simply see and experience yourself In Christ and In Heaven. 

 “As high as the heavens are above the earth so great is the Father’s Love for us.” Psalms 103:11.      We will discovering the heights, widths, depths and lengths, everything about His Love for all of eternity!  This one simple Truth, has infinite depths behind it.   You can study the Greek and Hebrew language about all this verse means, in all of structure and meaning, and at some point this intellectual knowledge will come to an end.

 The Holy Spirit reveals the depths of the Father’s Love that has no end!  We need the Holy Spirit to breathe Life into these simple Truths, not just the dictionary!   The dictionary has some value, but Holy Spirit unlocks the deepest of experiential meaning in the Truth of the Father’s Love!   His Love has no end, His Joy has no end, heaven has no end!!!  Jesus has no end!   Can you imagine yourself in the midst of the Father and Jesus in heaven right now?

  Holy Spirit will open the eyes of your heart so you can see and experience this spiritual realm.    “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”   Taste and see the heavenly realm!!!!  How does it taste?   Wine connoisseurs get paid a lot of money because they know wine and all of its properties in great detail.   They go through a lot of training so they can recognize a truly great wine from a cheap one.   Are you ready to taste the deep things of the Spirit, the deep things of heaven?    We are to become heavenly connoisseurs!  Drink and be Merry!!!!!!        SHALOM!

What If Everything In Heaven Was Ours Right Now?

Hello Precious One!

What if our heart and minds were truly set and focused on things above, the heavenly realities?   What would life be like?   What if we truly saw our lives with the mindset that we are in heaven as a present reality?  What if we really believed the Truth that the kingdom of heaven, in all of its reality, was truly in us and we were in the kingdom of heaven, right now?

 What if the kingdom of heaven was more than a theological concept or of positional truth of God’s righteousness within us, like so many people think?  What if we truly believed like a little child and believed that the all of the substance of heaven was inside of us and we lived inside the full reality of heaven right now in the spirit realm?   What if heaven became a powerful reality now, that we are actually seated with Christ Jesus in the heavenly realms, now?

 What if it was true, that we have already died In Christ, and have been raised in full reality, not just in theological or positional terms, but that heaven was just as real as the this earthly realm, only unseen to the natural eye?   What if we believed that everything in the kingdom of heaven had already been given to us in absolute and total reality?

 What if we believed that all of the wealth of heaven, all of its gold, silver, gemstones, diamonds… were already ours?   What if we believed the Truth that we had a bank account with the kingdom of heaven and that we had complete and total access into all of its wealth?

 What if it was true that when the Father in the Prodigal son story, tells the older brother, “Son, everything I have is yours”?  What if this was a true statement to us just if our heavenly Father is telling us, “Everything I have and everything I am is yours.   I have withheld nothing from you.  All that I am and all that I have is yours, right now”!   And you have complete and total access to the totality of everything the Father is and has, but it is accessed by Faith. 

  What if we really thought like this in the deepest places of our new heart?  “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7.    Athletes who train for the Olympics devote themselves to their training and make it the most important thing in their life.   What if we became that radical in training of our thinking by the Grace and power of the Holy Spirit and saw heaven as an actual reality, just as real as this earthly realm?  

       “But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.” Hebrews 5:14.              Our minds, hearts, and senses need to trained in the grace of setting our hearts and minds on things above, the heavenly realities.   We are in the continual process of renewing our minds and seeing into the reality of the Spirit realm with the eyes of heart our being completely wide open.   

 Olympic athletes go into strict training to win the gold medal.   We go into strict training to train our senses to the Spirit so that we can see into the heavenly spirit realm, so that we are lead by the Spirit and not by our flesh.

  Jesus endured the Cross by keeping His mind and heart set on the Joy of being with the Father and with all of us for eternity in heaven!    The Joy set before Him was the heavenly realm!   He didn't let the abuse, anger and brutality of the religious people distract Him from what He came to the earth to do.   He didn't waver by looking to the right or the left of all of His pain and suffering, He had His mind set on the Joy of heaven before Him!  

  Looking to the earthly problems only weakens our resolve, steadfastness and power!   How about you and I, are we really to go into strict training in the renewing of our minds to the Truth that we are living In Christ, in the heavenly spirit realm, right now, where lack in any form does not exist, only abundance, even though life can be full of pain and suffering on the earth?   What if we were to take hold of the Truth that everything our Father is and has, has already been given to us and we have complete and total access to all of His abundance of health, wealth, Joy, Love, Peace, Power…….?    What if……..?                SHALOM!!!

We Have Been Given Christ' Spirit of Power, Love and a Sound Mind

Good Morning Precious One!

“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, Love and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7.                                        Many of us live with a spirit of timidity, fear and cowardice.   When things get tough, we just give in to the opposition because we believe the lie that we are weak, powerless and stuck.   To be timid and cowardly is to be:  faint-hearted, chickenhearted, spineless, timorous, without strength, fearful, shrinking backwards, weak-kneed…….  

 This verse says that we have not been given this type of spirit.   God HAS GIVEN to us a spirit of power, Love, self-discipline, sound mind, courage, valor, bravery, heroism, being more than a conqueror, lion-hearted, stouthearted, daring, dauntless, fortitude, firmness, resolution, tenacity, grit, guts, strength, unshakeable, unswerving, unyielding, forceful, strong-willed, strength of purpose, victorious, heart of a champion…..

  The Spirit of Christ is within each and every person who has received Christ into their heart and has born-again into a new creation in Christ Jesus!   This Spirit of Christ is a gift of pure grace to every believer!   Many Christians do act out of this new heart, but the Truth remains that every person who has received Christ, has His heart and Spirit within them!!!

 We don’t go backwards and try to fix our old heart that had been wounded so desperately, in many cases!   We don’t fix the old heart, Jesus takes the old heart out, at salvation and puts His new one inside of us.   “I will REMOVE your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26.         We receive, believe, take hold of the new heart Of Jesus, His heart of a conquering, victorious champion!

  We may have been the weakest person on the planet before we received Christ Jesus, but once we receive His Spirit and heart into our heart, we became new creations, full of the Life of Jesus!!!!     We set the eyes of our heart onto Jesus now, not who we were, or even who we may be acting in the present.   We set the eyes of heart on Jesus, in all of His glory and see ourselves In Him, as Him, one with Him, perfected and glorified In Him!!! 

 We look away from the law which keeps us in bondage to weakness and sin, and now we look to the glory of Jesus, and see ourselves completely and totally inside of Him, with His heart and His spirit!    We are to see ourselves completely as we are, right now, where we ARE seated In Christ in the heavenly realms!   It honors Jesus and His sacrifice on the Cross when we see ourselves as the new creations that He made us to be! 

 When see ourselves in the flesh, we are ignoring the Truth of who we are in Christ Jesus.  This completely ignores what Jesus did on the Cross!!!!!    But when we see ourselves in the Light of what He accomplished for us the Cross, we see the Truth of who we are, perfected and glorified In Him!!!!     We look away from all of our weakness, lack, sickness, disease, poverty, and we see ourselves In Christ as He is!!!!!

  We now fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our Faith!   We set our heart and minds on things above, the heavenly realities, not on earthly or fleshly things!!!!   We behold the Lord’s glory, with an unveiled face, a part from the law which exposes weakness, and we now see ourselves completely and only in Christ Jesus, filled with His all-powerful, Loving and Joyful heart!!!!  

 As we behold the Lord’s glory, with an unveiled face, and see ourselves in His glory, we are being into the likeness of Christ, with ever-increasing glory, from the Lord, who is Spirit!!!!  So we take hold of our new heart given to us of power, Love and a sound-mind and self-discipline!        SHALOM!!!!!!!

Prophesying To Our New Hearts!!!

Good Morning Precious one!

The Lord has been speaking a lot to me about the new heart which He has already given to us and speaking or prophesying Life (Zoe) into this new heart.  At the moment of salvation, everybody receives this free gift of the new heart, but many people still don’t acknowledge and live from this new heart as if it were truly their own.  So many of us are still living from our old mindsets and old attitudes of  the old heart.

  Just like the Truth is that we have become new creations In Christ Jesus, fill with His Spirit and the fullness of His life, we are partakers of God’s divine nature of supernatural and miraculous power, but we live as if we are still mere human beings subject to and under the power sin and the enemy!  The Spirit has been speaking to me about speaking, declaring, prophesying supernatural life to our new heart that is in the Spirit.

 

So much of our salvation is in the Spirit realm, yet the manifestation of the Spirit realm is so dormant in so many of us!  Our Spirits, our new hearts, who we are in the Spirit, needs to be awakened with the great power of the Holy Spirit.   We can know Bible facts, and yet live with very little supernatural power flowing through us.   Some of us move in the spiritual gifts, yet the Love of Christ is not strongly present in our lives.

 The Zoe, Life of God flowing into us, is His Rivers of Living Water and is full of the actual Life of the Father.   His Life is 100% Love!  When the apostles died, the Life that is now flowing into us did not change and all of a sudden become powerless!  Personally, I don’t want to be like what it talks about in 2 Timothy 3:5 where it says, “Having a form of godliness but denying its power.”   I don’t want to live like “dry bones”.   I don’t want to exist only in the form of Christ and yet walk and live with none of His power!   I don’t want to be lifeless Christian who knows a bunch of doctrine, but does not walk in any of God’s power!

 The Rivers of Life flowing into us will only come out through us, if we believe that it is the exact same Life that is flowing through God Himself.  Our hearts need to be awakened so that we are living from His new heart that is within us!  God gives us a new heart and yet we live as if we have never changed.   “Out of the heart flows all the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23.       If we are still identifying with our old attitudes of fear, weakness, lack, sickness, poverty…. our life just reflects what we are believing in our hearts!

  “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”  Proverbs 23:7.    So how we are living is the reflection of our heart!   If you want to know what is in your heart, just look at your life.  Your life is the reflection and mirror of what you believe in your heart.   Many people are deceived in thinking just because they have a lot of Bible knowledge that they are walking in the transformed life of Christ.   In order for a life to be transformed where we are living in Christ’s Love, Joy, Peace, Power…. It takes revelation by the Holy Spirit into the deep places of our heart.

  It is not so much what we know in our head, it is more about what we have accepted into our hearts!   We can’t go back and fix our old heart, NO, Jesus takes out the old heart and puts in a new heart!   We just need now the revelation by the Holy Spirit, of our new heart so that we are manifesting the exact Life of Christ!    The all-encompassing Truth that we have become new creations, with the Spirit of Christ and His heart has to become awakened in the deep places of our inner being, our heart!   Without this revelation of this Truth by the Holy Spirit, we just live as the old man in weakness and sin, living from the old attitudes of our past of fear and condemnation!

  We may have the form of Christ because we have Bible knowledge, but there is very little of His supernatural Life and Love flowing through us because our new heart has not been awakened by faith!   We have been given the new heart as a complete free gift of His Grace, but our Faith needs to be applied to this Grace for it to be manifested in our life!  

 So, prophesy, speak the Truth of the Life of God to your own heart and to the hearts of the people around you!   “Then He said to me, “Prophesy to these dry bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the Word of the Lord!  This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones:  I will make Breathe (Zoe) enter you, and you will come to life…..  So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.”  Ezekiel 37: 4-10. 

 So we speak and prophesy to our own heart and to those around us and we will live as a vast people with hearts full of the Life, Love, Joy, Peace, and Power of God, our Father!        SHALOM!!!

Beholding Ourselves In The Lord's Glory!

Hello Precious One!

Do you want to be transformed in a very powerful manifest and outward way into the likeness of Christ, like we have already been transformed inwardly in the Spirit?   Of course you do or you wouldn’t be reading this blog.

  In the Old Covenant, when the children of Israel were grumbling, snakes were sent and were killing the people.  “But the people grew impatient on the way; they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert?  There is no bread!  There is no water!  And we detest this miserable food!” Numbers 21:4-5.      Grumbling, complaining, being impatient, always opens the door to trouble from the enemy in the New Covenant, never from God!     The people cried out to Moses and God told Moses to “make a snake and put it on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 

   When our eyes are looking onto earthly circumstances, there is always the temptation to grow impatient and grumble and complain.     The remedy is the same today as it was back then.   We are to always look up, “fix your hearts on things above (heavenly realities)”, where Christ is seated at the right hand.  Set your minds on things above (heavenly realities) not on earthly or worldly things.” Colossians 3:1-2.   

  Looking and gazing  at the earthly things fills our hearts with the trouble we often face!   Some people will cry out that their problems are way too big to look away from.   The problem with that is that our hearts get filled up the flesh and the flesh opposes God.   The solution to walking as a “More than a Conqueror” on the earth is to get this vision of Truth into the depths of our heart that “as Jesus is, so are we, in this world.”   We behold with our heart the Truth that we are In Christ, perfected and glorified, and one with Him! 

 This inner picture of ourselves has to be changed and transformed, so that we see ourselves and others in the fullness of Jesus’ glory, apart from our works and behavior!   This salvation from God is a complete gift of Grace, so we just receive everything He has already given to us, and get our heart established with this Truth so that nothing on the earth, no circumstance, can change the inner image of who we are in Christ!!!   We just keep looking and beholding with the depths of our heart the Lord’s Glory and see ourselves in His glory, as He is!!! 

 Holy Spirit is the one who communicates this Truth to our heart.  So as we fellowship with Holy Spirit, the Truth of who we are In Christ becomes stronger and stronger!    “And we, with unveiled faces (seeing ourselves a part from the law, our behavior) reflect (behold, meditate, take hold) the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18.       BEHOLD AND BECOME in an outward way, who we are in the Spirit!!!!!!          SHALOM!!!!!!!!!

Living From The Tree, Fountain and Rivers of Life!!!

Hello Precious One!

We were created to live and from intimacy and fullness with the Father and Jesus through the Holy Spirit.   There needs to be more than mere information we read from the latest book or anointed speaker.  It is the same way relationship with our husband or wife, there needs to be more than a biography written by someone else that you know our mate.

  At salvation, we became one with Jesus and the Father.  We live inside of Christ, perfected and glorified, as He is!  We live In Christ and He lives inside of us in full measure!  This is the place we were created to live from.  There is no sense of lack, sickness, powerlessness, fear…. in this place.   We live in the total present reality that the Kingdom of heaven is inside of us, every second of every day!!! 

 No matter what we are experiencing on the earth, nothing can change the truth that the fullness of the kingdom of God, the fullness of Christ, and our oneness with the Father is inside of us!  Circumstances cannot change the internal Truths of the Spirit!   “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18.    The eternal realm of heaven is unchanged by the temporary earthly circumstances! 

    “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6.            We were created to look beyond or past the earthly circumstances, and fix the eyes of our heart on things above, the heavenly realities, no matter what is happening on the earth!   Fear does not exist in heaven and we are seated there this and every second after we receive the gift of salvation!  We are to set our hearts on our perfection with Christ, being as He is, in the fullness of His glory! 

 We just keep looking at Jesus in all of His glory and see ourselves in the fullness of His glory!   As we keep seeing ourselves in the fullness of His glory, perfected and glorified, completely dead to sin, we will be seeing Truth of who we are in the Spirit realm!   This is how we live by the Spirit.  We just continue to fix our eyes of heart on the Spirit realm.   As our mind and heart are set on the Spirit, the Spirit is then able to flow through us without any obstruction.

  Sometimes our best intentions get in the way of the Spirit as we try to do the we can by our flesh.   We are to live by the Spirit, not just trying to be good, moral and religious people!   So much of Christianity is still eating from the wrong Tree, like Adam and Eve did in the Garden!   The Father said they could eat from the “Tree of Life” as much as they wanted, but they were not to eat from the “Tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

  We were created to live from this place oneness and fullness with the Father, not just living by trying to do the best we can!    Rivers of Living Water are flowing into us every second of every day!   We live in the Fountain of Life, this River of abounding Delights!!!   It is out of this oneness and fullness that we are to live!!!   We are to always see ourselves inside of Christ and Christ inside of us!   This oneness of perfection and glory is to fill our minds and hearts! 

 We just keep practicing, keep going deeper and deeper into the Spirit realm!   So we just DRINK, DRINK, DRINK…. and BREATHE in the Truth and reality of the heavenly Spirit realm!   “Your Will be done on earth (in each one of our lives) as it is in heaven.”    WE DRINK AND ARE MERRY!!!!!!!!         SHALOM!

The Gallup Trip!

Hello Precious One!

We just got back from our Out Reach Trip to Gallup New Mexico.    It was an amazing time to say the least!    The Lord spoke to me a year ago while I was in Gallup that He was going to move on the people of Gallup.  He told me, “This is My move, on My people, in the revealing of My heart with a power that  the earth has never seen before.”   He told me that His move of the Spirit would not be about Flesh or Flash, not about a man or a ministry.   He told me that the real All-Stars of this move would not be the fancy preachers and their fancy sermons, but He said that the real All-Stars of this move would be the people of Gallup of whose lives had been completely transformed by this revelation of the New Heart!   He told me before this trip that this was movement in the Spirit was going to start with us on this trip.

   So six of us: Fred, Tony, John, Glory and Chi went to Gallup with very high expectation!   This was the first time for me that we fed the people as we ministered to.   The first day, we went to the Flea Market in Gallup.  It was very crowded and we passed out free sandwiches, chips, candy, waters all day!  The people were surprised and very grateful!   Some people just took the sandwiches and left, and that was OK because we knew that we blessed them.   Some people just wanted prayer and some people sat down with us and ate and received prayer!

  It was an awesome sight watching the whole team very active in praying and serving the people totally unselfishly and with Joy!!!   We saw all kinds of healing miracles the whole weekend!!!   At first, when people needed healing, some would ask me to pray for the healing, I just simply got out of their way, and had them pray.   Healing was happening all day through each and every one of us!!!!    People got saved, got baptized in the Holy Spirit, healed and set free!!!!!

 One man said he had a sex addiction.  He got born again, baptized in the Holy Spirit, and said that during the prayer, something just lifted off of him!!!!!!  As the Navajo people got touched by the Spirit, some of them started to pray for others as well!   On the second day, we went to the place that Kevin and I had ministered to the homeless people two years ago.    Another amazing day in the Holy Spirit!

 So much hurt and pain in the peoples heart!!!!   One of the ladies was a former nurse and on the day that her daughter was born, her husband died.  On the same day, eighteen years later, her daughter died!  She became very angry, thinking that God was taking her loved ones from her.    She was cursing and did not want to receive prayer.  I told her that I wanted to bless her.  She said OK.   As we prayed, the team surrounded her, she started to cry and we could see her heart melting!   She left in peace and was very grateful!

 Another young man had killed a child while in the war, he was a former Marine.   He couldn’t get over the guilt and could not forgive himself.  Tony stayed with him and ministered to him Love for a very long time.  After about two hours, the young man started to smile and then his smiles turned into laugther!   He said he hadn’t smile and laughed in a very long time!  It was awesome!!!! 

 We prayed and spoke life into their new hearts that Jesus had given to them!  It was a life transforming day for the homeless people and for us who were serving them!!!  The next morning, in the hotel room, at 5:30 in the morning, I saw Fred sitting in a chair, he had tears coming from his eyes.   He told me that his life had been ruined (in a very good way).  He was touched and deeply moved by what he was seeing, witnessing, and the impact he was having on the homeless!    Each one of us were being deeply touched because of the hurt and woundedness of the people, but also because we were impacting them with the Love of the Father!

 

  Later that day, some us prayed for a woman who had hives since March.  They were very painful and itchy!   After the prayer, she said all the irritation was gone and she felt very peaceful!  We saw her two days later, and her skin was completely clear!!!!   She brought her sister to us for prayer who had the hives as well for over a month.  After the prayer for her, all the itchiness was gone!!!!   On Monday, it was more of the same!  The two tents were often full of the homeless people eating, talking, and receiving prayer and blessings!  Kevin moved into a house that weekend and Fred and Tony did some repairs to the house!  

It was a great trip for us all!   It was hard to say good bye!  Chi, John and Glory stayed for about an hour and a half talking after breakfast!  We all want to go back as soon as we can!   We plan on going within the next month and help the people out with socks, blankets, jackets, and winter clothing!

 A HUGE THANK YOU to the people who helped make trip possible by your extremely generous contributions!!!!   Without your help, we could not have done what we did, and the people would not have impacted so much!!!!!!       THANK  YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!                   SHALOM!!!!!!!!!
