IT’S ALL WORKING FOR YOUR GOOD Melinda Roberts
REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2018
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” -Romans 8:28 NLT I can recall so vividly when I first gave my life to Christ at the age of 14. I was completely sold out and once I learned that God had a purpose for my life at the age of 22, I set my heart and sights on accomplishing everything that God wanted me to do. At that time, I was what the Bible considers zealous without knowledge. For years, I toiled, prayed, studied, and got equipped and knowledgeable, as I had it in my mind that my pursuit of God would be synonymous with the pursuit of a college degree. I worked hard, I was committed, I put in extra effort, and at the end of a designated number of years, I earned a degree, felt quite accomplished, and prepared for the next challenge. Well, much to my realization, after several years, I slowly came to understand that my pursuit of God was not all that had to be factored into fulfilling God’s will for my life, His purpose for my existence. I had casually hit a brick wall that was not previously considered...God’s timing. I had not been taught in church that God’s timing has precedence over all human effort and everything that naturally happens as a result of determination and consistency. Although determination and consistency certainly have their place, they are subordinate to God’s divine timetable and calendar.
Still, I persevered in worship, praise, and the pursuit of God, asking consistently that I be used, permitted and assisted to fulfill His purpose, reach my destiny. Here again, I was expecting a simple transition right into a greater anointing, greater revelation, greater insight, and greater works. Instead, however, I ran right into another one of God’s standards...process. I quickly learned that prayers of submission simply positioned me to be pressed and primed because the cry of surrender meant that I would be squeezed like grapes and made to feel uncomfortable... maybe spiritually, but not exclusively. God began to prune me as if I was a plant, cutting away the dead leaves, and trimming and grooming the good that remained. People left and circumstances changed. Life seemed to inevitably turn upside down. I entered a place of confusion and uncertainty and wondered how I had gotten from where I was to...here. The place called “here,” although seemingly disastrous in one’s mind, is right where God actually needs us to be. In that place of “here”, you will find your true self. The dross, pretention, and fabricated being that you have become, as you figured it was what God wanted you to be, is shaved away, and all that remains is the authentic you, full of frailties, flaws, and imperfections. I can only imagine that God is pleased with finally getting you to be who you are so that He can cause you to be who He created you to be. It is after this,
that you then become as clay on the Potter’s wheel...finally fit for Master’s use. It is at this time that your purpose begins to truly manifest. Now, as I look at my life, I can say that I am pleased. I have entered that place of rest that is mentioned in Hebrews, chapter 4. I was not taught that everyone’s purpose did not have to be lofty in order to be valuable to the kingdom of God. Once we learn that God has a plan, most of us automatically dream of and think that we will become famous and wealthy, and unless we do, we matter very little in the overall scheme of existence. What time has taught me about fame and wealth is that it oftentimes lead to corruption, particularly for those in the Body of Christ who have not fully surrendered to God. The Word of God cautions us that to be a friend of the world is to be an enemy of God. In this hour, even those

who started out with God have seemed to compromise, having gained the praises and adoration of man, but the displeasure and disappointment of God. What becomes of paramount importance in our pursuit of fulfilling God’s agenda for our lives is staying humble, staying sober, and decreasing as much as possible so that nothing that we claim to be, have, or strive to obtain becomes bigger than God in our hearts or minds. God is big, and He does great things. However, the greatness of God and the greatness of men differ. We cannot get so caught up in what we think our lives’ outcome should be until we get so over into left field and completely off the course that God has established for us. The pattern still is to seek the kingdom of God first, and He will add....things and the fulfillment of purpose, the working together for good that’s seems horribly contrary most of the time. As I reflect on the once easy time that I thought would always remain in my Christian walk, I realize that it was just a beginning. The difficulty has intensified over the years...within the last few to be even more precise. It is in the fire of the day to day, in the perceived spiritually war that is consistent, that I realize that the fire of God prevails on the inside of me. God is a keeper, and I am being consistently kept. I am fortunate to know that God is with me because my
enemies have not overtaken me. No, life did not pan out quite the way that I thought it would in many instances, but I am blessed, fully empowered to prosper, despite the conditions around me. I am consistently reminded that I am not the orchestrator of my life but a willing participant of God’s will for my life. No determination or human effort on my part will force the hand of God, as the balance of my days belongs to Him. I have grown to understand that it is in the quiet patience and seemingly inactive waiting that the desires of God’s heart will steady be accomplished in my life. As we are so very blessed to be alive in these perilous times, we must remember that God has so ordained and equipped us for a time such as this, the days that the prophets and disciples of old longed to see. We must take into account that God has the master plan and all...the good, the bad, and the ugly are simultaneously working for our good. We are to endure hardness as good soldiers, knowing that the trying of our faith produces patience, causes us to come forth as pure gold. Let us not be snared to lean to our own understanding, which in this hour can produce the unfavorable falling away, but trust in our God with all of our hearts, fully knowing that what He has spoken, destined, and ordained for our lives, individually and collectively, will surely come to pass. There are no surprises with regards to what lies ahead for those who belong to the
Most High. Jesus speaks of such occurrences in Matthew, chapter 24. We know that persecution and much more will come. Even in death, we know that as believers...to be absent from the body is to be present with our Lord. Even in these things, we can rest comfortably assured that what God says He is fully able to perform. Even though it may not always feel good, take heart, be encouraged and know that all things are working together for your good...and God being for you is more than the world and every adversary against you.

TESTIMONIES: LET’S GIVE THE DEVIL A BLACK EYE!
When we share our testimonies, our faith increases! We start to believe God for the impossible! We can see the power and the hand of God in any situation. God can turn any test into a testimony! We know if God did it before, he can do it again. Our Testimonies glorify God!
Prophetess Kimberly, I’m sitting at my desk and the fire of God is on me! I feel a tingling around my mouth. I received deliverance on the prayer call last Friday night! Ever since I have had a stronger hunger and thirst for the Lord. I usually go home after work and watch the news. I didn’t yesterday. I went home and read a book about Abba and studied some more! I’m so ready to encounter the new person that the Lord is going
to give at the conference! My life will never be the same! Glory to God. -Nikeya Prophetess Moses, I wanted to let you know that the book I purchased, “Daily Prayers That Bring Changes,” well, it’s wonderful. I use it daily almost. I love that you have prayers and scriptures to pray and stand on. I didn’t think I would use it that much but the simplicity of the book is great, easy to read, easy
to review over and over. I will be sure to forward it to my daughter. God bless and thank you. My blood clots dissolved and I am thankful. Thank you for praying for me at the conference with Apostle Cox.—Darlene Thank you so much for the call, last night as we were ending and the part with the woman not feeling the lump anymore, I was beginning to feel super peaceful and was
REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2018
praying and praising along with you and the others. The fire of God was all on that call. The next thng I know I lookat the phone to see why I’m not hearing anything and it was like 10:19 pm. The Holy Spirit slayed me and such a peace came over me that I didn‘t even know it because I was well awake and on the line. Even my son felt that peace too. For real. I just wanted to say thank you and I was praying for you on the line as well and will continue to keep you lifted. I haven’t stopped praying since your last prayer call. I forgot to tell you the call gave me such peace. I literally fell asleep and missed my turn. —Mandy Good morning Prophetess Kimberly, I was on your prayer call. I wanted to thank you and give you a testimony about my nephew. I asked you to pray for him. To God be the glory. He is no longer an alcoholic and doesn’t smoke cigarettes anymore. I want to let you know that I received my healing tonight. You called out issues in the hip and pain in the lower legs, ankle swelling, and tension in the neck. I was suffering from all of these things but tonight, I felt a warm sensation just above my left buttocks but the rest of my body started to really relax, I felt a cleansing like in my blood in my legs. It felt like someone was massaging my feet. Thank you for your obedience to our Father. I love you with the love of the Lord. Good morning Prophetess Kimberly, I called in for prayer earlier this year for my mother’s sugar levels. It
was up to 500!!! You prayed for her and you said you saw her sugar level at 97. Well, this morning she checked it and it was 94. Look at God showing up and showing out!! He is so good!! Thank you and all the prayer warriors for all the prayers!! You are truly a woman of the Most High God!!! Unusual miracle!! Hello Prophetess, after being on your prayer line last night, the miracles are starting. I went to the laundromat to wash my family’s clothes as I do every week. I budgeted $20. When looking at the amount of clothes we had to wash, I thought, “it’s going to cost me more,” which concerned me because I also needed to buy more food for the house. I needed a large washing machine that required 40 quarters to wash clothes. When I pushed the button, ready to pay my 40 quarters, it only asked for nine! My kids and my eyes got so big. I could not believe that this huge washing machine only asked me for nine quarters. Then these words came out of my mouth, “Unusual Miracles.”– Racquel Hi Prophetess Kimberly! I just want to give a testimony from last night’s conference call. You prayed for me to sleep better. Last night I had the best sleep ever. I woke up refreshed and well rested. Thank you, Jesus! Thank you!– Anonymous Good evening. I sent you a message on the 26th of Juneasking for prayer as I was struggling with pornography and you gave me the best advice on how to fight it and I am happy today to tell you that ever since that day my
life changed each and every time when I use the internet, I use it for productive things such as watching anything that has to do with Jesus and other good stuff. Mrs. Moses thank you very much for praying for me and having you on my Facebook is a blessing. God bless you. – Anonymous Sis, I just wanted you to know that you really blessed me last night. I was headed in to work and I was running a little late so I got to be on the call the first 10 minutes. You activated something in my spirit. I had been down and depressed for some time now. The enemy had me bound where I couldn’t even open my mouth. I had no desire to pray. I wanted to just give up and end it all because I saw no glimpse of light, but sis, after hearing your voice, my spirit leaped for joy. For ten minutes headed into work, I was praising and thanking God in my car. I’ve been praising and thanking Himwhile at work all night. My mind has been off my husband and my situation and I can finally hear God after some time now. I hear Him say, “Hold on daughter. Just give it all to me.”–Melissa Here is a testimony from my broadcast today “911 I’m saved but angry.” The Holy Spirit was all over this woman and she told me that she couldn’t stop crying. I got a word of knowledge about her having migraines and her having pain in her jaw and neck. She had this issue for years. She said that all the pain is gone. It doesn’t matter how long you dealt with something, God’s power can set you free.— Prophetess K

WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPLE THING Kimberly Moses
I have to study the word of God to make sure my leaders are telling me things that are in the will of God for my life. I realize that when my leadership critiques me it’s an opportunity to grow. Remember, no one knows everything. Remain humble and have people around you that aren’t afraid to tell you the truth about yourself even if it hurts. Dear Heavenly Father,
Today’s scripture for meditation: Proverbs 1:5 says, “A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:”
destruction. If we know that the people in our lives have the heart of God for us, then we should be able to trust that they will counsel us in the will of God.
God has placed certain people in our lives that are seasoned or have more life experiences than us. We have to remain teachable and listen to their counsel. Many times, we might not want to hear the counsel of our leaders or those that we might be submitted to but if we obey what they instructed us, then we will be spared experiencing
I am thankful for the leaders in my life. They can give me insight on things that I might not see or warn me because they have walked the path where I am walking. I have to be mindful to pray to God and seek Him after I receive counsel from my leaders. When I submit to leadership, then a greater level of wisdom comes to my life as well as a greater anointing.
I am truly grateful that you placed godly people in my life to give me sound advice. Lord, bless me to have the right spirit where I can receive advice and not take offense. Lord, show me the hearts of these people so that I know that they are coming from a place of love. I bind up any attacks of my mind where pride, deception, and hardness of heart can enter in. Lord, even if I don’t agree with everything bless me to come to you with all things in prayer and allow me to be meek. Thank you for answering this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.

MY TEACHER Shirley Cooper
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. (Psalm 32:8) I sit here remembering all the times I actually had a one on one with God, how beautiful that story is. Drunk, drugged up, angry, hurt, happy, joyful...no matter my emotions at that time, I needed God. I was not the prophetic child like some who were gifted with prophecy. I don’t even know how God chose me to have the perfect conversations with. I was a nobody.
But what a beautiful name to call on. Jesus. God. Father. However, I look back now and see God at work. I can see how my life unfolded from a rebellious teen, to Pastor Shirley, and it’s a pretty scary, happy, chaotic story that my Daddy is still writing. His grammar is definitely on point. Exclamations in place, question marks at hand, periods right where they need to be, quotation marks as needed, and so on. God writes the story with great strategy. His plan isn’t to create just any plan
but to create a plan that will align with His perfect Kingdom work. A plan that will navigate us to a greater destiny. We were created to be richly blessed. In that plan God taught me something very important that I once never saw me doing. He taught me how to pray for others. You see, praying for ourselves is one thing, but praying for others outloud is another. “Lord, grant me,” no, “God help my friend,” I wasn’t sure. I was never ready to pray out loud for my friend, my family members, that stranger that needed God’s
15

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2018
touch. I just wasn’t ready, but God never gave up. He refused to allow my own fear to interfere with His work. His perfect plan to bring others to the Cross. Through my learning experience I tumbled, I slid off track, and I fell hard, but my God pursued me daily until I was more than ready. Until I became the prayer warrior, He needed me to be in order to bring souls to a Kingdom that is not of this world. Today, I not only pray, I believe. I bind up, rebuke and cast out demons. I pour out the most powerful blood in the universe and the heavens. I claim victory where the sting of defeat has rotted the heart and brought triumph in the name of Jesus. Prayer isn’t something that we’re born with. It’s a gift that we’re taught through God’s amazing grace. Prayer becomes a piece of the powerful answers we seek from our Creator. It’s filled with faith that moves mountains and tears that He bottles up. It cleanses, purifies, relieves, heals, comforts, rebukes, delivers, strengthens and so much more. When we pray..we are weak, but He is strong. I have prayed for hundreds of people: family members,
friends, strangers, and even myself. My prayers have been loud, and they’ve been silent. I have prayed physically touching and at times oceans away through writing, typing, calling. I’ve prayed with oil, with water, and in emergency cases lotion. GOD IS POWERFUL! I am not ashamed of the gospel, nor am I easily pulled away from preaching its truth boldly. God’s work in me is evident. Tried and true I walk this temporary place trying to fulfill my Father’s will. Because His plan is evident that no one loves me more. Through every prayer, I rediscover my first love, Jesus Christ, who taught me how to call on the most powerful name in the universe and the heavens, through the most trying times in one’s life including my own. Because there is no place, no distance, no height that God will not travel to teach us what He needs us to learn. There is nowhere on this earth that He cannot reach when we call on His mighty name. He is God.
“
You see, praying for ourselves is one thing, but praying for others outloud is another.

THE BURDEN OF A WRITER Kimberly Moses
Over the last few weeks, I have been so distracted by the trials in life. I was faced by the disappointment of certain deadlines not being met and I found myself withdrawing from the crowd. However, the one thing that I continued to do was write. Instead of complaining and feeling sorry for myself, I wrote. As I began to write, I started to feel a release. Everything that I was feeling over the last few weeks came out on paper. I was doing something that I am anointed to do. Writing is a special grace and I am very passionate about it. I have
found that I write best when I feel emotional. When I feel lonely I can write copious amounts. Sometimes we get caught up in our emotions and we forget that the picture is bigger than us. Our assignments which includes the books that are in our minds and hearts to write will impact the world. One book can change your life. I remember reading books on prayer a few years ago that had a drastic outcome. I gained strategy, revelation, and wisdom that I didn’t have before I read those books. I hear
testimonies all the time of how my books have changed people’s life. Recently, I was talking to a future client who will get his book published through Rejoice Essential Publishing. He told me that as he went on consecration, he read my book, “Walk By Faith: A Daily Devotional” for thirty days and he was so blessed. He also began to encourage me and let me know that the anointing on my life rubbed off on him. He said, “I could barely write a book when I met you. Originally, my whole manuscript was 5,000
REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2018
words but you stretched me. After I took your writing workshop on April 8th, my chapters are now 5,000 words each. I can’t believe that I wrote three chapters in one day! That’s a huge accomplishment for me!” This testimony made me reflect on the true reason, why I do what I do. I love to help people. I want to raise up people who can do what I do but better. I write because I love it. I love to build. I get excited when I complete new projects. I couldn’t quit if I wanted too. I am encouraging my client to write his second book because I can see so much potential in him. Yet, we will see. I decided that I will do a writing workshop annually. People have asked me, “How did it all begin?” I started writing books in 2014. The Lord spoke to me to start a blog. The blog started out about me describing things that I was dealing with ranging from anxiety, anger, and unforgiveness, etc. The blog allowed me to encourage others not to fall into the same trap as me. Back then I was so afraid to tell the readers that the people in those stories was really me. I made up names and even changed the gender of the main characters in the stories. Those blogs turned
into my first book, “Overcoming Difficult Life Experiences with Scriptures And Prayers”. Then that blog site turned into a full website and it grew from there. The Lord began to give me new books and ideas as I remained faithful to the task. I could’ve quit when I felt discouraged when no one brought my books but I decided to keep on pressing. I can recall a time where my book, “Overcoming Emotions With Prayer: A Guide To Faith” sat on the shelf for a year before it had its first sale. Talk about discouragement! I knew the value of the book so I refused to lower the price. Eventually, that book started selling. I believe the Lord gave me a book that was ahead of its time. It was ahead of what everyone else was doing. It just took a while for the people to catch up to what the Holy Spirit was doing through me. LOL! I have received testimonies of how that book prevented people from committing suicide and how they gained hope to hold on until they received the answer to their prayers. The Lord initially gave me a list of twenty-one books to write and I am fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen books in. I am writing three books
at once. One book is on the mind, and the other two are on the prophetic. It’s amazing to see how the doors are opening for me as I obey God. I am in a season where every day few days, the Lord gives me a new idea for a book or some type of program that I must build. It looks like I will write more than twenty-one books and I am thrilled about that. It’s hard work and it takes a lot of discipline but it must be done. These books are bigger than me and they need to reach the nations. As you make the decision to write and have the right mind set you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish.

I have found that I write best when I feel emotional. When I feel lonely I can write copious amounts.

DEAR TIME Taylur Holland
Dear Time, You and I — we Go back and forth. Remember when I told you That I could beat you in a race? You just looked at me with steady face, Cool breath, and stable hands And shrugged. I took it as a challenge, and spent you — Wasted you — trying to overcome you. You stayed still — it seemed, but really You were just chill And steady, So content in your purpose and comfortable In your identity, Unshaken and unmoved by my antics Because you knew I wasn’t ready
For those things that I longed for. You told me over and over to Learn to rest in the wait, To seek His kingdom first. You told me that in His presence, I would find the fullness of joy — and That His joy was my strength — the Strength I needed to bear the weight of the wait, To bear the pain of being braided together with Him. Time, sometimes you and I still don’t get along. We argue like brother and sister, but you’re still my best friend. You love me enough to not let me get ahead of myself. God chose you to carry my
best interests in hand, And you bear them up with the greatest care Until Father leads you to meet with Appointed and Due Season And you lay the promises down at their feet. You are a faithful steward, and I long To be more like you: Patient. Content in purpose. Comfortable in identity. Unshaken and unmoved by the antics of others. Focused only on doing the will of the Father. Time, I long to be more like you.

THE POWER OF WRITING Kimberly Moses
I discovered seven benefits of writing. The first is that writing is a great encouragement, not only to the writer but also to the reader. I get liberated by reading the books that I wrote.
tional.” When I want to read a prophetic empowering word, I read, “Empowering The New Me: 50 Tips To Becoming A Godly Woman.” I written books on various subjects to fit my needs. I read my books and prayed the prayers in them countless times. Each time, I gained a greater understanding on how powerful the art of writing is. People’s lives are changed because of the writer’s obedience to write words that are edifying.
When I feel emotional, I pick up, “Overcoming Emotions with Prayers.” When I feel like my faith is lacking, I read, “Walk by Faith: A Daily Devo-
You may not have written a book or may not even have the desire to. However, you can start where you are. You can write words of affirma-
I had to give the Lord thanks for allowing me to write many books. It takes discipline. I found myself on many occasions pushing past the pain and frustration of the distractions and just getting the work done.
tion on your social media networks. Secondly, writing leaves a legacy. When we are dead and gone, what will we leave behind? Some people leave an inheritance for their family and many memories for them to hold on to. There are many generals of the faith who have passed on but they left the revelation they carried in books for the next generation. They made a choice to be persistent to the call and labored to get the writing done. You can tell a lot about a person just by reading their books. I want to leave behind a legacy of books, organizations, and businesses
REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2018
for my family and those connected to me. Thirdly, writing is a form of impartation. The reader will gain valuable insight in a short amount of time that could’ve took the author years to acquire. When God first told me I was a prophet, I was clueless. I had to do my research. I studied the bible and I got books on the subject. I learned so much. Everyone around me thought I was crazy and I felt so misunderstood. As I read books from people who have gone through what I was experiencing, my life was forever impacted. When the Lord told me that I had a healing and deliverance ministry, I had to find more things out about it. The knowledge that I gained from reading books was immense. Fourthly, writing helps me to reflect on written memories. I have been through many devastating things such as divorce, jail, shame, humiliation, slander, persecution, loss, etc. I wrote down how I felt at those moments. It resulted in the most anointed devotions and teachings that I have put forth. I went back recently and read my old journals. The love letters that I wrote to the Lord are simple beautiful. I have learned to write down my prophecies, dreams, and visions. Writing my memories down helps me to remind God of his promises. It also allows me to encourage myself during
the trying times. Fifthly, writing increases learning and awareness. When the Lord places the burden on my heart to write about a particular subject that I need insight on, I research. As I compile the research and format it all together, I am like an artist painting on an empty canvas. The words become sentences. The sentences become paragraphs. The paragraphs become chapters. Which results in a manuscript. In the process of writing, I am learning furthermore becoming a master on that subject matter. I never thought in a million years that I will have deep revelation on the prophetic and prayer. Writing has contributed to that. Writing helps it all stick together for me. Next, writing increases my production for the day. I often determine how productive my day was by the amount I write. I try to write a chapter a day in one of my books. When I do that, I feel a sense of accomplishment. If I am not able to write my one chapter, then I schedule mini goals or deadlines to make up the writing that I missed. When I write daily, I have something to look back on. I am amazed at how fast the Lord allows me to write. I can sit down and write for hours. I write more than books. I write articles for my magazine, “Rejoice Essential.” I write up interviews, questions, curriculums, programs, and
the list goes on. Every day, I am writing something. Lastly, writing eliminate stress. I have told people numerous times, that when I feel emotional, I write. When I first entered the valley season, I wrote my first book, “Overcoming Difficult Life Experiences With Scriptures And Prayers.” This book started off as a blog and eventually I compiled it into a book. I wrote about all the painful experiences I had gone through in life and made it into something inspiring. I was ashamed to come forth and tell my testimony so I made up characters in the stories. The whole book is very creative and writing it helped me heal from the emotional baggage I was carrying. I pray that you are inspired to write. Writing is bigger than you. It’s a daunting task at times but it’s very fulfilling. If you need a reminder, go to my website and look at all my books. You can achieve anything you put your mind on. My books started off just as ideas on a list. You can use my life as a testimony to keep pressing. So, in summary the benefits of writing are encouragement, leaving a legacy, impartation, written memories, increased learning, production, and eliminating stress.

TRUST TALK Keiyia JOYet George
you can enter the Kingdom completely healed of any ailment that may be troubling you. That’s right! Completely set free. It’s as easy as just receiving it.
Day 82: I trust you, Lord. Standing while you are seated. The Book of Hebrews When you were created, God blew His breath of life into you – He gave you a spirit. Just like He did for Adam, He’s still doing for people today. When we die, this Spirit will return to Him. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Because the spirit came from God, it must be perfect, right? In Heaven, there
is no sickness, pain, aches, glasses, missing limbs…you get the point. So why do we have this now? Sin, that’s why. We are all born into sin, but we do not have to stay there. Christ died and is the propitiation for us, that is He became all you need to be saved and set free. The word salvation in Greek is sozo and it means to save, make whole, heal, and to be whole. It is used 103 times in the New Testament. What this means is when you receive salvation (Christ), you not only enter the Kingdom, but
When a priest (not today’s priest of course) is ministering, he stands the entire time. He never sits down until he is completely done for the day. The temples had no chairs. There was no place for him to sit anyway because his job was to minister, not rest. Why did he continue all day? Because the sacrifices he made could would never be enough to completely remove sin. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: Hebrews 10:11 It sounds like as long as the priest was awake and in the temple, he never rested. There was always more to do. Today, we have no need for a priest to go before the throne for us. The High Priest has been appointed

and He has already told us that we gain access to the Father via Him. The difference between this High Priest and the others is that He has sat down. He has completed His works. There is nothing left for Him to do. You can look at it as resting for He is done. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Hebrews 1:3 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. Hebrews 8:1-2
weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 11:1-2 How much clearer can it be: He is done! There is nothing more for Him to do so why are you toiling, pleading, repeating, and chanting to receive freedom from sin, healing, or anything that has been promised to the children of God when the propitiation has been made. All you have to do is receive. You are a Kingdom citizen, aren’t you? Then receive it!
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; Hebrews 10:11-12
Your spirit was given by the life giver. When it was passed to you, it was perfect. It remembers what perfect looks like and it is urging you to recall it as well. It is urging you to receive what was given. There is no reason to continue living like sinners in bondage when you can free, whole, and healed! He is done! There is no reason for Him to do anymore. It’s your turn now.
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every
When you take communion, if you do not receive the representation of His body, then you won’t get it, right?
If you do not receive the representation of His powerful blood, then you won’t get it either, right? Well, why is sozo (salvation) so different. You have authority over everything in this Earth (Luke 10:19). All power is given to you through the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). Receive it! Use it! The gates of hell SHALL NOT prevail (Matthew 16:18)! Get up! Wipe those tears away! Remember who you are! Remember whose you are! Stop wallowing in shallow communication with God (prayer)! Command your body to return to the state God intended for it. Command your body to be perfect as Christ is perfect. Now is not the time to be asking God to do what He has already done. HE’S FINISHED! Stop asking and start commanding! It’s my time for sozo, Keiyia JOYet George Trust Walk: Walking in His Steps coming soon!

“Very informative” I really enjoyed reading “Enhancing The Prophetic In You”, it’s engaging, and very informative, gives a fresh perspective of the Prophetic for beginners and seasoned saints. — Felecia Jackson “I recommend this read to novice and advance prophetic practitioners alike” Enhancing the Prophetic is very well written, and solid teaching on the prophetic ministry. The book and teaching is backed accurately by scripture. Subjects such as prophetic prophetic, and the Dos and Don’ts of the Prophetic Ministry are covered within this book. I recommend this read to novice and advance prophetic practitioners alike.— Apostle DAE
