"THE GLORIOUS HOPE
The complacency and carnality that seems to have overcome the Church is truly disheartening. It's an unholy trend that will eventually lead to the the great apostasy of which Paul writes in his letter to Thessalonica. It is, however, a trend that can be reversed for many saints rutted in that place. Simply stated, the cure is in the eye. The spiritual eye. We need corrective lenses in the Spirit to take this spiritual myopia and heal it. Actually, what I mean is that we must turn our eyes (and hearts) from this fractured, broken, dying, diseased, damned world and fix them upon future glory. The saints of the Bible have all found this riveted focus to be all the encouragement they need to leave behind. If we could but get a vision and revelation of what awaits us at the end of this life (and I mean a true grasp and comprehension of it), we would quite happily leave off everything in this world to live for the glory of God and the desire of obtaining it. We are far too comfortable here. Far too many professing believers have made themselves at home here, which is radically antithetical to the heart of true believers. Listen: "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return.
But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them" (Hebrews 11:13-16). True saints live with an eye fixed on the heavenly hope. By this, they are able to endure the loss of all things (Philippians 3:7-11; endure divers tribulations and difficulties (II Corinthians 4:16-18; I Peter 1:6-9; Hebrews 10:32-36, etc..); and walk the narrow road of faith. They lived like travelers here on earth because they knew that the eternal glories of heaven awaited them at the end. This wonderful hope has been the missing ingredient in Christianity for a while now, and I feel it must be restored. We must pray and cry out for this heavenly vision, that we, as God's children, may see what is presently unseenthe future glory.Like the saints of old, we must be able to "see afar off" (Hebrews 11:13), and set our hopes and our gaze upon the eternal (II Corinthians 4:18; Colossians 3:1). Just as our Lord Jesus Christ endured death but was raised again to eternal life by God's Spirit, so we too must await the glorious resurrection, looking for that blessed hope with all our hearts. Presently, we are bound to the flesh and blood world, but we must be a people groaning to be clothed with our eternal resurrection; for that day when we shall put off these earthly tents of corruption and sin, and be clothed with the incorruptible bodies of glory. It was the Apostle Paul's heart-cry (II Corinthians 5:1-4; Philippians 3:10-14). John the Beloved had the same heavenly desire (I John 3:2-3). Job, arguably the oldest book written of the Scriptures, holds this truth (Job 19:25-27). Precious saints, turn your eyes to Jesus. Turn them and fix theme there! Do not look back, as Lot's wife did, and lost her salvation and hope. We must gaze steadily at the Throne of God, holding all else in contempt, as the excrement of animals (per Paul), that we may with all zeal strive to win that great prize of ultimate redemption and eternal glory. Peter shares that because there is an awesomely perfect inheritance reserved for us (incorruptible and everlasting), Paul piping in that the presence of God's Spirit is the surety of our receiving this inheritance,
we press on joyfully, even in the face of extreme loss and trial, knowing that we are being perfected in the image of Christ, and prepared to enter into that glorious estate which God Himself has reserved for us upon the dawning of His Day! Did you also know that to all who leave this world behind for His sake and glory, overcoming all adversity and obstacles in our efforts to obtain said inheritance (His gift to us), also get to sit with God on His Throne?!? Next to Christ Jesus our Lord in glory! O the riches of His glorious grace and marvelous mercy. Oh the glories that Love has bought for us upon the cruel Cross of Calvary! How then can we live any longer in the futility of vain religion, apathy, and carnal pursuits? Have done with lesser things, dear saints, and rise up like stalwart saints in this world! Glory and reward is promised to all who do so! 2012 will likely bring as many (if not more) challenges than this year. Those who stand in the Light will receive great hostility and pain, suffering and loss at the hands of deep darkness. But, in the wonderful words of our Lord Jesus (with which I close this message): “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:1-3). Blessings on all of you! May the Spirit of wisdom and revelation flood your spiritual eyes with heavenly light, strengthening you and assuring you of our heavenly hope! press on in faith, dear ones! Jesus loves you so very much, and it is His good pleasure to give you the kingdom! Happy and Holy 2012! ~Brother John Grace~
“Unchained”
Unchained, set free, freeman, unbound, no more the slave, all of these statements are idyllic in nature and for many, it is true. What about the deceived? Unfortunately for them, they are not, and unless the called of God speak up, even with salt, they will remain in chains and their blood maybe on our hands. I‟m not referring to those whom we assume are lost, I‟m talking about the 90% that occupy the church buildings, declaring the glory of God, but know Him not. Luk 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Luk 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Luk 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Mat 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: Mat 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: Mat 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Mat 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Mat 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Mat 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Mat 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? Mat 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Mat 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? Mat 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Mat 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. To many have been misled, misfed, and misused, some have been beaten by the self righteous church goers, some rely on their pastors, preachers, and or teachers to tell them what the Bible says, all in foolishness. God wants a one on one personal intimate relationship with each and everyone of us, but how can that be from our end, if we don‟t seek Him out for ourselves, beginning with His Word? There are far to many stupid and foolish, uneducated statements out there in this day and age, that reflect, people don‟t know the Lord, who is the living Word. For whom the son sets free, is free indeed, but how can one be free if the son, the living Word of God, is not in their hearts, alive? It is each and every persons responsibility to study God‟s Word, to learn of Him, to taste and see He, love, is good. This is a command from God, and if they continue to ignore this command, they remain bound, chained, forever enslaved, and setting themselves up to hear, depart from me, I never knew you. Kicked in the teeth, not by misfortune, but rather by disobedience! We, the remnant, those who seek the Lord, we must pray for these to become hungry to know the Lord, to know our heavenly Father. We need to continue to remind them, search for Him while He may yet be found, even if we have to remind them of their outcome if they don‟t obey God‟s commands. We the remnant, must not shirk our duties or fail our God, for this new year, the shift will be for the faithful, causing those who are on the outside looking in to wonder what they missed or why they missed it. Keep up your prayers saints and never forget no man left behind, CHAINED!
New Year, New You
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 We are approaching another New Year. Soon, 2011 will be but a memory and 2012 will unfold with promise. The question is, what will you be in this New Year? The Apostle Paul, in the aforementioned scripture, reveals something that – if caught – will change your life. When we are in Christ, we are something entirely new – a species that, heretofore, did not exist. That means your old nature, along with your old spirit, died with and was reborn with Jesus! You are no longer a creature of sin, rather, now you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). As a new creature, we obtain a new consciousness – Righteousness Consciousness – and shed our old sinconsciousness!
What does that mean? Whatever a man is actively conscious of, that is what he does. For example, a carpenter spends most of his waking moments thinking of working with wood. An electrician spends his time thinking of wire and switches. A sinner thinks about sinning. But, when you become righteousness-conscious, you are immediately convicted and prompted to repent; that is, to change your mind, not confess your sin! Which brings me to another mind-renewing point: if you are in Christ, you are no longer a sinner, you are a saint. Change your speech along with your mind! So, as you go into this New Year, do not set your mind on carnal resolutions that you cannot keep. Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing (a constant process, not a one-time thing, by the way) of your mind! Set your mind on righteousness and you will assume a posture of righteousness. And this righteousness is not of our own doing, it is part of the finished work of Jesus Christ that is imparted to us in the New Birth! Receive and appropriate what Jesus has done for you, saint! When you allow this to manifest in your spirit, it will change your life! © 2011 – Derrick Day (www.derrickday.com)

2012 IS YOUR TIME TO WALK IN GOD'S PLAN by Joseph King on Saturday, December 31, 2011 at 2:57pm GOD HAS A PLAN
GOD'S PLAN IS POSITIONING YOU FOR GLORY IN 2012 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11 Once we realize that we are sorted out, that God has indeed finished the works of our lives and sealed them in our spirit, it is imperative that we appreciate the order of that life. It is vital that we appreciate that when God works out on anything, HE does a meticulous work. God is not chaotic. HE is the paramount standard of peace, order, and intelligent design. HE is the epitome of excellence. Anything that is contrary to this is the work of evil, and often the result of overlooking the finished work that HE has sealed in us. What is very vital for all of us who detest chaos and confusion is to identify with Godâ€&#x;s plan for our lives. Our better-later is guaranteed in that plan. It is beneficial in these matters for us to shift from the wrong and misguided impressions that heathen, carnal-minded people have who presume on ill-fate being some kind of God occasioned disaster.
“We are One”: BY JEFF GODSOWN
Are you one with your Heavenly Father? Jesus said; Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one. So, how did Jesus get there? Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Joh 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Joh 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. We must come out of the world and it‟s ways and thinking, we must cease from leaning to our own understanding and man‟s interpretation of scripture, we must come into the fullness of love, truth and the way, or else we die in our sinfilled nature. Joh 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. We must have Jesus, firmly established in our hearts, not the man Jesus as in word, but the living rhemos Word of God. Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. Joh 14:21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. How can anyone declare righteously, they are a Christian, if they have not the living Word of God, alive in them in all Godâ€&#x;s truth and power. Jesus once said; you will know a true Christian by their fruit and the fruit He is talking about, covers many things, but begins with the change of heart. From stone cold to on fire, because the Word is alive in them, making constant changes, creating a life-like reflection of Jesus, Jesus is the reflection of the character and nature of God, as if in a mirror. How does this new, abundant life come, by building that necessary intimate relationship with God, in His Word, in constant communion, not crackers and wine either, through communication. Speaking to our Father and listening constantly and diligently, not seeking for the high of the feel good, but soberly, pressing in. We must never settle for anything less than Godâ€&#x;s truth, shaming the pulpit predators, while continually working out our own salvation with fear and trembling. In this, we come to a place where we actually, reverently, fear our Father, as in the days of old, before the world system through Dr. Spockâ€&#x;s teachings of tolerance, with no chastening. We must, we must, we must, and this cannot be said enough, sek our Father, His kingdom, and His righteousness, with our whole heart. That we may become one, with Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit of God, making us complete, or as the king James says; perfect. In this we come to a desire to be Holy even as our Father God is Holy. In this, we become one; Joh 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. We become one with the Word of God, the very character and nature of God: 1Co 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. God commanded we study, not just read to renew our minds, but actually study, for it is in studying, we become intimate, we become the bride of Christ. God bless you, Holy Spirit teach and comfort you, and may Jesus be that very foundation on which we all can stand and not fall in the storms, AMEN!
My dear, God does not plan evil, he just can‟t. That is not HIS methodology of work. The apostle James clarified on this conviction to the believers in Jerusalem that were enduring persecution. Many had wrongly entertained the notion that God had occasioned the trial. He disputed this perverse impression citing: Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. James 1:12, 13 On the contrary, God‟s methodology of work, HIS plan for us, ensures that we overcome in any and every trial. Consequently, any evil, chaos, trouble, disease, whatever the misfortune experienced by anyone is not the working of God that HE sealed in their spirit but the workings of evil prevailing in this world. It is the devil, who the apostle Peter revealed, that roams around seeking who he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). Jesus also traced the cause of chaos in this regard when he described him as a thief intent to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:9). Then in the same breath HE revealed God‟s plan for us, which incidentally HE came to restore, as giving us abundant life (John 10:10). Now this is not the persuasion of many people, even believers. Several times when calamities hit, some people are quick to attribute them to God. Some are even euphemistically called „acts of God‟. It is sad when one considers the goodness of God, when one has been revealed to HIS amazing kindness, to see men, or worse still, HIS children, attribute evil works to HIM. God is not evil and will not do evil. HE is not chaotic, or disastrous. Those who accuse or impute evil to HIM grossly misunderstand HIM. They remind me of Job who errantly lamented as if the loss he had suffered when he lost all his children, animals, and properties in a single day were the efforts of God:
Naked I came from my mother‟s womb, and naked I shall return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD. Job 1:21 Many religious people like to use this persuasion when they lose a loved one or incur a gross disaster. And yet it is wrong. It was excusable for Job to use it because HE did not know any better. However, any critical study of this righteous man reveals that this errant persuasion set the wrong foundation for him in dealing with what had gone wrong. This errant persuasion slid him further into a downward spiral of chaos that compounded his misery. Subsequent chapters in Job‟s account reveal that he grew more bitter with God as a result of this wrong impression. Of course, reading the account from the beginning gives us the benefit of knowledge that Job did not have by which we know that it was Satan behind all his loss. However, this was not obvious to Job as is often the case with many of God‟s children when disaster hits. It is amazing that he was offended against God yet he had been upright and zealous in his devotions to him. Many zealous believers that suffer disasters conclude like Job against the LORD. They impute evil to the ONE that desires only good for them. Why is this so? Why did Job, a righteous and devoted man misunderstand God? Why do many believers use his arguments to explain their loss? The answer can be found in having zeal without knowledge (Romans 10:2). So many believers like Job, are so caught up in religious devotion without caring so much to have divine revelation regarding the LORD they worship. Many that do are vulnerable to the workings of evil simply because they do not know the ways of God. You see, there is a world of difference between presuming the ways to God and knowing the ways of God.
Just because someone presumes the ways to God does not necessarily mean that they may know the ways of God. By the ways to God, I refer to religious ritual and tradition while the ways of God pertains to HIS knowledge, HIS will, HIS wisdom and plans. Job, like many believers, was caught up in exercising the ways to God and had not grown to knowing the ways of God. As a result, his later turned from one bitter state to another to the point where like many religious practitioners do, he begun to accuse God and regretted his life altogether. As so many do, at one point he wrongly lamented: May the day perish on which I was born, and the night in which it was said, „A male child is conceived.‟ May that day be darkness; May God above not seek it, nor the light shine upon it. Job 3:3-4 The same wrong lamentation continued, getting worse and worse, more erroneous the more he spoke: Know then that God has wronged me, and has surrounded me with His net. “If I cry out concerning wrong, I am not heard. If I cry aloud, there is no justice. He has fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass; And He has set darkness in my paths. He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. Job 19:6-9 Of course nothing can be further than the truth: Job, like so many believers, like so many practitioners of religion, misunderstand God, the cause of misfortune, and how to deal with evil.
To begin with, regretting being born is just the wrong thing to do. In the next chapter, I will be dealing more exhaustively on this subject but just for the record, your birth regardless the circumstances was a glorious opportunity. Your birth is a critical guarantee that you can, and should resolve the problems that you, your loved ones, or any others may face. Without your birth, it is inconceivable that you would be able to resolve the difficulties that you face, or those that your loved ones face, or those that others face. You are not born for trouble as Job mistakenly suggests (Job 5:7). On the contrary, you are born as an answer to the cries of many. You are a solution with answers sealed deep in the recesses of your spirit. And the only way those answers have a chance of resolving calamities begins with your birth. So your birthday is a critical opportunity for yourself, your loved ones, and countless others. Consequently, your birth gives God‟s plan a chance. Job was way out of line in suggesting that God need not seek the day HE was born. He exposed his ignorance in these matters. Brethren, God seeks our births. HE looks forward to our birth. That is why HE revealed to Jeremiah how HE knew him before he was in his mother‟s womb, and even called him to be a prophet before he was yet born (Jeremiah 1:5). God is that excited about our births and has indeed been so since the foundations of the world when HE established HIS glorious plans regarding our lives. To be sure, God celebrates our birthdays before we are born. Our births occasion the incredible opportunity for HIS plans to come forth. When we are born HIS word has indeed put on flesh and dwelled among men. Every born child is a divine opportunity that can convert God‟s will from a spiritual vitality into a timely reality. In the flesh, we have the opportunity to activate HIS glorious works. My dear, when you understand things this way, you shift from merely practicing the ways to God to acknowledging his ways. Short of this shift, even though you may be pious, devoted, and convicted in your faith and religious observations, you remain vulnerable to the attacks of Satan. You also risk offending God by grossly misunderstanding HIM and the plans HE has for you.
This is where Job erred in accusing God for hounding him. In this he was no different from the children of Israel before him who accused God for trapping them in the wilderness because of the giants they feared to confront in the land of promise (Numbers 13). Both imputed evil against God because they were ignorant of HIS methodologies, they were ignorant of HIS plans for them. To be sure, they underestimated the love God had for them; they failed to grasp just how much HE was committed to them. And so many believers are that way: They are ignorant of God‟s ways even though they may be well versed with ways to HIM. They may know how to tithe, give offerings, pray, observe the commandments, they may even be gifted by the Spirit so that they speak in tongues, work miracles, and prophecy, but many are ignorant of God‟s ways. They lack knowledge and as a result, they suffer for it. From HIS lofty abode in heaven, God observes and ponders: My people perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Offended at Job‟s ignorant complaints, HE asks: Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Job 38:2 So many of God‟s children do not realize that their lack of knowledge strengthens the devils hold against them. Inspite of their fears, anxieties, and complaints against God, they gravitate from worse to worse forsaking their glory for lying vanities (Jonah 2:8). Think about it: The children of Israel all died in a wilderness when they could have thrived in the Promised Land. Similarly, Job need not have suffered for as long as he did if only he had known the truth from the beginning. If only he had considered how much God was for him, how God could not impute evil against him, so much would have been saved. If only Job had known more than religious observation, had he ventured into the knowledge of God, he would have overcome the hostility he faced soon as it showed face.
Had he cared enough to discover his divine program his response would have been different: Rather than seek divine intervention, he would have activated it. In the end, his conditions were changed not because of his ignorant complaints but inspite of them. To be sure, positive change came to him because true knowledge finally dawned on him. His bitter-experience turned into a better-later because he switched from complaining against God to comprehending the love of God: Then Job answered the LORD and said: “I know You can do everything, and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. You asked, „Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?‟ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, „I will question you and you will answer Me.‟ “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eyes have seen You. Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” Job 42:1-6 As a result of this conversion, Job received double what he had lost (Job 42). And like I have always said, he did not receive double for his trouble. Trouble has never given anyone any double. I have seen many people in trouble suffer; even die without ever getting any double. Job got double from his newfound understanding. When he understood God, when he acknowledged God‟s ways, he activated glorious plans God had sealed in his spirit.
This is the point: The double was always available in his trouble. It was within him. God had sealed it in him long before he was born, long before the trouble. The problem was that he was not aware of it. Although it is generally said, and it is indeed true, that it is better late than never (it even constitutes a chapter in this divine work), it is sad to realize that so much time was wasted in religious self-righteousness, in aggravating agony, and emotional bitterness when the answer was always so present. Job need not have suffered as long as he did. If he had graduated from merely knowing about God to knowing HIS ways, understanding HIM, he would have shortened the duration of his trial. His double was always available and it was only his thinking, and the wrong counsel of his friends, that clouded him from activating it. My friend, your double is not far from you. It is not in some foreign prosperous land awaiting your migration. Your double is not in some promised future or in some glorious past when things were better. You didnâ€&#x;t lose it and neither do you have to miss it. Neither is it with someone you ought to beg or manipulate or steal. It is not with someone that you have to connect with or marry. Your double, your plenty, your increase was packed in your spirit by a faithful God. Look inside and discover a glorious plan of life all worked out long before you were born. It is a glorious plan, a great one. It is a noble, excellent, pure and lovely course of life that God would like you to meditate on (Philippians 4:8). It features no evil, only good. It is Godâ€&#x;s gift to you and you must know that HE sponsors no failure, no chaos, no disaster: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures. James 1:17
The profit of those who understand things this way is the incredible opportunity of cruising a journey that will position you above all things. My friend, God‟s plan for you begins, climaxes, and continues with your ultimate superiority over every circumstance, over every foe, over everything. HE has commissioned you to be HIS best, a special specie among all HIS creation. As such, HE earnestly desires that you should be subject to nothing, bound by no one, and free to experience all the glory and goodness HE has programmed for you. Forget what doomsayers and scorners may be saying to you. Do not pay attention to evil however persuasive its arguments or seductive it‟s luring. Turn aside from those who reason with perverse impressions that have no bearing to the glory God has deposited in you. What is of essence is that you seize, take a firm grasp of your inner man and the plan that he keeps for you. Use the word of God to provide light for your spirit so that you are able to perform and experience the glorious life HE intended for you from the beginning. And when evil strikes, when you encounter setbacks, regardless the circumstances, keep your eye inside. Understand the plan and walk it. Meditate on it, believe on it, rehearse it till it manifests. What took Job 42 chapters may well take you this one chapter. Your later is planned for. Do not for one moment consider that there is, in any remote way, a you without a future or with a damned one for that matter. Brother, mum, whoever you are reading this revelation, your future is all set and ready. It is a glorious one, a marvelous one. By spiritual discernment and the knowledge of Christ, I can see your spirit. I know the glorious details therein and it is all good.

Deep Calls to Deep: ADDED BY SUSAN C. CLARK
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of Thy waterspouts: all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me. Psalm 42:7 "Deep calls to deep." Our Lord is a seeking God who is constantly searching for those who will respond to His desire for communion and fellowship ("Behold, I stand at the door, and knock..." Revelation 3:20). Therefore, by "divine intent," we were created with the capacity to hear and respond to this desire of the Lord for fellowship and communion. As we respond in anticipation, we will be lifted into the realm in which we will be able to say with David: One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4 If we truly desire to experience this higher realm of personal relationship with the Lord, in which our times of being set apart to enter into His presence become more important to us than all that we are attempting to do for Him, then the Lord will respond and begin the process of separating us to Himself. ...And Samuel was laid down to sleep; That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, "Here am I." And he ran unto Eli, and said, "Here am I; for thou calledst me." And he said, "I called not; lie down again." And he went and lay down. And the Lord called yet again, "Samuel." And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here am I; for thou didst call me." And he answered, "I called not, my son; lie down again." Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him. I Samuel 3:3-7
And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here am I; for thou didst call me." And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child. Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, "Go, lie down: and it shall be, if He call thee, that thou shalt say, 'Speak, Lord; for Thy servant heareth.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place. And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, "Samuel, Samuel." Then Samuel answered, "Speak; for Thy servant heareth." I Samuel 3:8-10 There was a learning process in which Samuel was brought to the place he could separate the voice of the Lord from other voices. We also must go through a similar time of preparation. Understanding His Voice "At the noise of Your waterspouts..." In the initial stages of our being apprehended by the Lord, we are not yet able to understand His voice, nor do we have the understanding to rightly relate to His dealings. Thus, this "seeking voice of the Lord" may seem to us as being a "noise." The Lord so desires to hear from us, that although our response may sound to Him as being a "noise," He will continue to knock upon the door of our spirit until our response becomes a "song" of worship and love, and we are able to enter into His chambers to commune with Him. Therefore, to bring us into the place where the Lord would have us, He must first reduce or remove all else from us, until we can enter the place where we have a single desire toward Him and are willing to trust the deep inner dealings and workings of the Holy Spirit. Responding to the "Knock" on the Door of our Spirit "All Your waves and Your billows are gone over me." It is very difficult for us to come to this place of implicit trust in responding to the presence of the Holy Spirit as the power of "self-preservation" is very strong within each of us. Thus, there is a reward for us to come to this place of reduction until the Lord becomes to us all in all. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5:3
Even when we make mistakes, if our heart attitude toward the Lord is right, He will continue to draw us to Himself, knowing that we will gradually come to understand His voice and ways. As a result, any seeming "noise" that we presently hear will become a song of rejoicing and worship. This "song" that the Lord so desires to hear is unique to our personal life experience. No one else could ever sing this song, as they have not walked as we have. The Lord will look to us ("Deep calls...") as if we were the only person in the universe, for He greatly desires to hear this song. We should thank our Lord quite often for His patience with us, in waiting for the song that He so desires to hear. This desire is so intense that He will continue to patiently wait. When Adam failed the Lord in the Garden of Eden, he hid from His presence. It was the Lord who said, "Adam, where are you?" When Adam responded with his excuse (noise), the Lord took a step toward him, covering him with the skin of an animal, that their fellowship might be restored. This was the first blood sacrifice for sin. Adam and Eve are now covered "externally" and forgiven, but this must become an "inner" reality. In the parable of the sower, Matthew chapter 13, the sower goes forth with "seed:" "...Behold, a sower went forth to sow." Matthew 13:3 The Word tells us that this seed is the "Word of the Kingdom." As we rightly respond to produce "good soil," this seed will gradually develop, and the "noise" will have become a clear pathway that leads to the Kingdom. He answered and said unto them, "Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is not given." Matthew 13:11 In the Book of Revelation, it is the Lord who stands at the door, knocking, in order to seek out those who will hear and respond. He is far more interested in us than we are in Him. This may be hard for us to believe, but it is true. All that we need do is to become quiet and listen and the Lord will direct us to Himself.
When we respond to this "knock" on the door of our spirit, we will be brought up into His presence where our life will become one with His, in communion and purpose."Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me..." After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in Heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, "Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in Heaven, and one sat on the throne. Revelation 3:20, 4:1-2 Notice that the "door" did not open until John "looked," which led him to be seated with the Lord in His throne. The Noise has Indeed Become a Song To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne. Revelation 3:21 One of our primary purposes in life should be to reflect the life and desire of the One who is seated upon His Throne, our Lord Jesus Christ. As we come into this identity in relationship with Him, we will be able to sing, "All your waves and billows are gone over me," as our life becomes lost in identity with His life. Now, we have found the purpose for which we were created. Our song has merged into His song ("Deep calls to deep"), and they have become one. And, the noise has indeed become a song. Wade E.

Dancing with God
I don’t know who wrote these words, but as I read them, I truly agree and relate to them. When I meditate on the word Guidance, I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn’t flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and let the other lead, both bodies begins to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It’s as if two becomes one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness! from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other. My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw “G” I thought of God, followed by “U” and “I” dance.” God, you and I dance. As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God’s blessing and mercies be upon you this day and everyday. May you abide in God as God abides in you. Dance together with God, trusting God to lead you and guide you through each season of your life.
Reflections! Oh how I love to dance with God both naturally and in the Spirit. In His arms I find serenity above measure. I love to ravish His heart as He does mines when we can dance and He does the guidance as He leads me in the path of His righteousness. And I hope you dance with Him too!!!!!

CROSSING OVER FROM 2011 INTO 2012! YOU SHALL CROSS OVER SUCCESSFULLY AND GLORIOUSLY! ENTER THE NEW YEAR WITH JOY, WISDOM AND MERCY!
MEMORY VERSE: "The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh." (Prov 11:17). BIBLE READING: Exodus 14: 21-31 21And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 23And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, 25And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 27And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. 29But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 30Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. 31And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
God's wisdom is full of mercy (James 3:17). Matthew 5:7 says it is the merciful that will receive mercy. This means that mercy responds to the principle of sowing and reaping. If you want mercy, show mercy to those in need and you will reap its harvest. No wonder Proverbs 11:17 says the merciful is only being merciful to himself or herself. Has someone offended you and you feel like descending on the fellow with all your wrath? Remember that if only you could restrain yourself and show him or her some mercy, mercy will await you at your point of judgement. A lion was asleep one day when a little rat which was playing, mistakenly climbed over it and woke it up. Annoyed, the lion decided it would have the rat for breakfast. But the little rat pleaded for mercy reminding the lion that it might be its turn to save the lion someday. The lion was surprised at the rat's effrontery and released it. The following day, while the rat resumed its play, it saw the lion in serious pain, caught in a net. So, it chewed up the net and helped the lion escape.
The saying goes: 'One good turn deserves another'. That housemaid, driver, cleaner, or messenger you do not regard today, may be your saving grace tomorrow. How merciful are you? Any advice or strategy that abhors mercy is not of God. If it emanates from God, it will bear the nature of God - mercy. This is another way of testing if a counsel is from God or not. In addition, the wisdom of God is full of good fruits. If you are full of God's wisdom it will show in the overflow of love, gentleness, joy, peace, etc., that will be released to the outside world (Gal 5:22-23). If you have wisdom, you will retain your joy. If you allow the troubles around to steal the joy inside you, your loss will be colossal! People have asked why I often laugh or crack jokes about the disturbing events taking place in our nation. The reason is, if you don't laugh it off, you could develop hypertension. Learn to laugh about very disturbing events: "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones" (Prov 17:22). The joy of the Lord is your strength. As long as you retain your joy, nobody can defeat you. The day you lose your joy, your vision, hope and future may go with it. Happy New Year! THE FATHER’S BLESSING.”I pray for you today. The Lord, even your God who has brought you to the very last day of 2011 will see you through victoriously into the New Year 2012. You will cross over successfully. You will cross over joyously. You will enter the New Year with divine rugged determination to succeed and excel. I cancel every failure at the edge of success in the mighty name of Jesus. I cancel the spirit of seeing and not entering in the mighty of Jesus. Every garment of shame, garment of failure, garment of reproach and garment of failure in your life shall disappear with 2011. New Garments of Joy, success, rejoicing, fame, promotion, protection and prosperity will come to you with the New Year 2012 in the mighty Name of Jesus. Happy New Year”(Amen)
ACTION POINT FOR TODAY Your friends do not need your mercy; your enemies and offenders do; give it to them. Thank God for seeing the end of this year. Ask for grace to enter 2012 peacefully and victoriously. You are special, You are loved, You are appreciated My promise is to reply all mails
To my friends here on this facebook group: BY DR.LEONARD
ROBINSON Friends, expect a demonstration of God's miraculous provision from unexpected avenues as God releases what you need because you continually seek first His Kingdom and Righteousness in your day to day lives. Matthew 6:33 God's Kingdom covenant promise has made you apart of the commonwealth. You are entitled to enjoy the full benefits of your Kingdom citizenship. In 2012 be proactive about preaching the full gospel of the Kingdom, 1) that the Kingdom is present now, yet also to come, and 2) that Christ is the Messiah King of the Kingdom and that by accepting the testimony of Jesus, that He came, lived, died and was resurrected for our sins, He is still King and the only means by which man can be saved. Share with the world that the coming of Jesus as King signaled the restoration of the dominion that Adam lost, and that whosoever believes...it is to them that God has restored His divine favor and purposed that they would fulfill the divine destiny God has for them. Your faithfulness to the assignment, having brought ourselves into proper Kingdom alignment, causes God in confirmation to His promises, to manifest every measure of His good favor towards us. Thank you all for a wonderful year. Lets do more in 2012.
The Seen is Temporal, and The Unseen is Eternal... BY KENNETH WHITE
Those of us who live on earth are bound by time; for as a matter relates to the past, the present , or the future. Any other form of time measurement would be most difficult to comprehend. Today our concept of time comes from the most advanced fields of astronomy and Physics, but it`s true nature remains a mystery. Time is intangible and is called the fourth dimension which cannot be drawn. Clocks measure time as though it flows at a constant speed, but Einstein says that time in space is variable and relative to the beholder. How does time behave in other galaxies? Is it bent, as light is, by galaxies gravitational fields? The seen and the unseen, however, including `Thrones, Angelic Lords, Celestial Powers, and Rulers` which exist in this vast universe and in the heavens above, are not necessarily bound or restrained by time as measured here on earth. The past, present, and the future may for these beings be a very different concept indeed. When we on earth observe and consider great astronomical events moving at the speed of light, then in a very real sense we are being confronted by a past event that occurred a long time ago, yet for us it has only become apparent and visable in our present time. For example: `An exploding star in a galaxy far from the earth should be visable from Britain after twilight this evening`. Amateur astronomers will be able to observe the flicker of light from it`s violent death throes through a good pair of binoculars or a telescope, clear skies permitting. The supernova--the nearest of it`s kind to be spotted in 40 years--lies in the Pimwheel galaxy, 21 million light years from Earth.
The distance means observers on Earth will see the death of the star as it played out 21 million light years ago, the time it has taken the light from the exploding star to reach earth. The supernova will appear in the sky as a bright star on the edge of one of the Pinwheel galaxy`s spiral arms. While it looks more or less like just another bright star, unlike it`s companions this supernova will soon fade away, and after a few days it will only be visible with larger telescopes. The Oxford team spotted the supernova on 24th August, 2011. What for man was an astronomical event that took place a few months ago was in fact an astronomical event that occurred long ages ago.! The Mighty God of Israel `exists and moves and has His being` neither in time as measured here on this earth or in time as measured by the celestial beings that exist in the vast reaches of the universe or in the heavens above! The past, present, and the future as measured by his creation do not constrain or limit our Heavenly Father in all His works! The time measurements referred to by Moses in his Genesis account of creation, for example, are God`s time measurements, not mans. `So God formed man in His own image, in the image of god He formed him, male and female He formed both...And so it was. God saw all that He had made, and very good it was...Thus was the universe and it`s array all finished in six days. On the seventh day God ceased His work. He desisted from working on the seventh day; so God blessed and consecrated the seventh day, because on it He desisted from all His work of creation.` In God` time----Man is already in the image of God In man`s time----Man is being made in the image of God In God`s time----Everything He made is very good In man`s time----Everything is not yet very good In God`s time----The work of creation is finished In man`s time----The work of creation is still in progress
Like the light from the supernova the finished work of God seems, in human terms, to be taking a long time for it`s impact to finally reach us here on earth; but reach us it will...Kenneth Leckey......
Breaking free from Mystery Babylon: what a great day is at hand!
2012 is A YEAR OF FULLNESS, COMPLETENESS, FRESH STARTS, POLITICAL & SPIRITUAL CHANGES IN HIGH PLACES & CHALLENGES TO OVERCOME AS THE END OF TIMES APPROACHES ! It is a very complex but manageable year for those who believe and are focus; for it is a year in which there will be many strong, bold courageous , doubting ,jealous, friends , hypocrites ready to betray . Don’t be surprise by this description for indeed it will be a good year for many who projects will be launch and completed or projects that were struggling to survive to make fresh starts and completed. Yet we must beware for in the spiritual & physical realm there will be great challenges to over come as the battle for supremacy over the lives of men reigns on both sides. We must be more vigilant in the vineyard for the period is gradually approaching when the shadow of darkness that have been creeping over the earth changing systems in their favor; getting rid of the bible from schools and public places and introducing their own system of life in every thing natural; like fashion, religious practices etc. Every sign indicate that the battle to take over the earth and introduction of religious persecution is graduation entering the normal ways of life.
Many of the young are turning against God and replacing Him with electronic gadgets and scientific theories. On the other hand the small but courageous people of the light continued to hold fast to the truth and lift high their touches to drive away the fast approaching shadows which can only battle through persecution, indoctrination, and the majority which will bow to them in the end: yet unable to quench the light. The power to take over the Holy land and usher in a new world order with out God will be the introduction to the end of ends. I am not saying or indicating that the world will end in 2012 but I am saying that anything is possible regarding the rapid changes in both the spiritual and physical atmosphere. Many will bow to the pressure of the time when there is a squeeze upon their finances, families, and ways of comfortable lifestyles, etc ; but a few will continue to hold fast to the challenges which will collapse with time that will usher in another period of peace for a period. 2012 is the end of ends for the old system where light and darkness dwell together to a battle where darkness will put in one big but fruitless fight to extinguish the light. You who have ears will gather in the year of plenty, for the time is coming when the mere sighting of a Bible will be treasonable. Study the scripture and keep them reserved in your memory where none can take them away even with the most powerful tools of brutality and indoctrination. Now is the period when brother will betray brother and father will betray mother in this battle.
Beware and be strong for the heavens &earth is groaning in labor to give birth to the King of Kings who will quench the blazing fire of evil and bring everlasting peace to us; dividing the goats from the sheep. I wish you a blessed 2012 full of promises & challenges. Use your compass, learn to hold fast, study to be approvable and equipped when the storm comes. I know we are in a very difficult period of life but I need you if we must continue to press forward with the word of God to the ends of the earth in 2012. We are facing much hard times financially and your voluntary gift of any amount will help us in a big way; our magazine?, Books or streaming messages will continue to be free of charge! You can send us help through western union which is the safest means possible in these parts.

WELCOME TO 2012, YOUR YEAR OF GLORY!!! Isaiah 60 FULFILLED IN TIME
WE WISH YOU A YEAR OF GLORY, 2012. John 2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: John 2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. John 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. John 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. John 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. John 2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. John 2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. John 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, John 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
John 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. Beloved, you have entered a feast of glory; GOD Almighty HIMSELF has invited you to leave in this day, in this hour, in such a time as this when HE is set to manifest HIS glory. Yes, so many others have been invited; so many others have crossed over into 2012; so many have jubilantly rejoiced over it; although, not many, infact, quite a few, perceive the privilege. Indeed, many are called into 2012 but you have been chosen into this year, into this glory. To be sure, this year things are going to change; like it was in the feast at Cana when the wine run out so is it going to be that the wine of this world, the pleasures of sin, the ways of wickedness, the lure of the flesh, the false promises of darkness, the abilities of the flesh are going to run out. Business as fallen usual in a perpetual dark world sold to sin and bound in the fetters of evil is going to come to a screeching halt. Men are going to have a closure in the ways that have been crafted and designed in the flesh. Yes, 2012 is going to a year of judgment on the menu of sin and the passions of men. This year, man must know that without GOD they are nothing; that all flesh is like grass and all its glory is like the flower that fades (Isaiah 40:6). Like King Nebuchadnezzar was humbled and driven out of his palace and made to dwell with the wild beasts, so shall reigning kings of this fallen world suffer the fate of being toppled. Yes, you saw me judge Gadaffi of Libya, a self-proclaimed king of kings that died in fear and shame; you have seen how I have snatched the life of Kim Jong Il of North Korea, a self proclaimed god who died of sickness and waste; and in Syria the days of that dictator are numbered; but now, you will see it even more. Governments, politicians, international organizations, leaders according to the flesh are going to run out of wine. In Europe, the governments are rejoicing over the worst of the financial crises fading away with their huge bail outs; but they are in for something. Judgment has not ended there yet. GOD Almighty calls the shots and once more, HE is shaking every shakable foundation. The leaders are going to see their promise of financial stability secured in deals between states of the European Union fade.
There will be frustration, conflict, disagreement, and the very foundation of the Euro zone; the hopes of men shall be terrified, shaken, as men quake, the world panics, and men riot against governments that are at loss of what to do. But fear not GODz people, all that disarray, all that shaking is for your good. The word of the LORD is coming to prove you with fire and thunder; yes, shakings must prove that which cannot be shaken: Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. Hebrews 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire. Yes, this is the time to prove the light of the saints, the time to prove the kingdom of heaven. Now is our time to take charge over the affairs that pseudo master of ceremonies have been pretending to handle. Just like at the wedding at Cana had a fake chief celebrant that never knew what to do with run out wine so shall the leaders of this world fail, run out of ideas, and expose their weakness and bankruptcy so that you take charge. YES, 2012 is going to see you rise and become the answer in weddings and marriages; but even more than that. You are going to be the answer in every sphere of life; you shall answer to challenges in your friends, enemies, community, city, countryside, other cities, other communities, in your nation and other nations, in this generation. GOD has set you up in a time like this and orchestrated that you should live as a revelation of HIS power and authority; an extension of heaven. YOU ARE MANDATED TO BRING HEAVEN TO THE ATTENTION OF MEN; not in words only but in demonstration of the power of heaven.
Where governments fail, where the ideas of the wisest of men fail like in the days of Daniel yet shall you provide answers. Men shall look at you, governments shall need you, banks, corporations, communities, chiefs, international organizations, name it; women, men, children, the elderly, the poor, the rich, everyone will seek you because you hold their lives, their hopes, their survival in your hands.
2012 is never a year of days for you; instead it will be a season of glories. You shall not live from a day to a day, a week to a week, a month to a month; that preset order of the carnal realm is beneath your ranking. Furthest from that; for just like no one cares to know the day when JESUS turned water into wine so shall it be with you. Your days shall be called GLORY; your weeks shall be called glory; your months shall be called glory. You are not a daily being, a common being, an average entity in 2012 to live from day to day. Far from that; you are a son of GOD lifted above the sun and the moon; your time is glory, your days are glory, your weeks, months, all through 2012 and ever more is GLORY. Yes, you will not live from day to day but from glory to glory. Are you there? Can you download into your spirit what the SPIRIT is saying to the churches? Enough of carnality, enough of entering the year like everyone else does. You are distinct and GOD is set to prove it; you are unique and this year light must shine on you and from you to everyone around you. Others may enter the feast of 2012 casually enough to suffer the running out of wine. But not you; you are unique, the answer GOD has set into the year. When men cry for their need, you are the Moses to minister to their every lack; when women cry, you shall wipe their tears; when indignity threatens the bridegroom, when indignity threatens associations, banks, corporations, governments, cities, nations, there you are to restore dignity. Yes, you shall manifest answers in fashions that this world has never known. Truly the word is fulfilled in your reading:
1Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Yes, the days of shallow pleasures, shallow provisions, ways limited to carnal knowledge is over; that realm is going to be exposed for the nakedness that it is. By the anointing of the SPIRIT so shall you function in the deep things of GOD. You shall turn water into wine; water shall hear your voice and be obliged. YES, your voice shall have power. In 2012, what you say angels are obliged to do. They will fill the jars with water for you; they will work on your command, creatively execute your assignments, and work wonders for all to know your glory. Dear son of the HIGHEST, talk in 2012; and do not talk small. TALK BIG, TALK LIKE THE KING AND PRIEST YOU ARE. This is the time for your voice to ring with audacious pomposity, to ring with absolute authority; only say the word and it shall be as you have said. When devils hear you speak, they will cow, they will scream, they will run back to the wilderness from whence they have come. Your voice has power; your voice has command of heaven. Truly the time has come, and is now fulfilled when heaven awaits your command: Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Listen up!!!!! Flesh and blood did not give this to you; no mere mortal can give this to you; it is the FATHER who has given this to you. HE loves you and has given you the kingdom (Luke 12:32). This knowledge of CHRIST has been graciously given to you and with it the keys of heaven and earth. You have authority to bind and lose; to lead heaven: Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them Reign in life, reign today, reign in 2012, YOUR YEAR OF GLORY!!!!! The angels know it is your time and await your command; the FATHER knows it is your time and is obliged to ensure your command; the SON reigns with you, agrees with you, HE has given you HIS name and so you can do the impossible, live the unthinkable, and confess the unspeakable. Speak son of GOD, speak like your FATHER in heaven; speak like JESUS at Cana, speak like the angels know your voice and follow your command; speak, use that voice because it is circumcised, it is anointed of GOD, it is sanctified and sent into this world to ensure miracles, signs and wonders; SPEAK!!!!!! Beloved, what you are set to do in 2012, the world cannot understand it; they will marvel at you. Just as the wedding at Cana baffled the master of ceremonies and the bridegroom, so shall you baffle your generation. Get ready for men to be mesmerized at you. Many will wonder by what authority you do these things; by what authority you say what you say; how it is that creation obeys you: Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? Mark 4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? Yes, when you rebuke the storms of life and even of nature that seek to destroy lives and they quieten at your command, men will gape in wonder at who you are. YES, you cannot be ignored, ridiculed, marginalized, ostracized, abused, neglected in 2012. This year, they must know that you are a son of GOD; this year, they will pray and GOD will send you as their answers. When Muslims cry to allah, he will not answer; when Krishna‟s pray to their god, he will not answer; when Judaist‟s pray to Jehovah, HE will not answer; when Buddhist‟s pray to their idols, they will not answer; when Hindu‟s pray in their temples, their god‟s will be unable to answer. Yes, their god‟s will fail them, embarrass them, ridicule them like Baal openly embarrassed his prophets in the days of Elijah at Mount Carmel. The more they pray, the worse it will get for them until you will show up and answer by fire for your FATHER is indeed a consuming fire. Yes, you will be celebrated as though you were a god so that you have the opportunity to make these men my sons even as you are: Acts 14:8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: Acts 14:9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Acts 14:10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. Acts 14:11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. Acts 14:12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
Acts 14:13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Acts 14:14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, Acts 14:15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: .This is your time, this is your year; yes bible days are here all over again. As it was with Daniel, the kings of this world will bow before you reverently even as Nebuchadnezzar lay prostrate before Daniel (Daniel 2:46, 47). I am your humbled servant declaring to you these things; I speak to you as I have been commanded. What I have said, the SPIRIT and the BRIDEGROOM give witness in heaven that it is true. Here on earth, the blood, the water, and the SPIRIT declare these words to be true. Do not resist these words; do not doubt these words; do not waste these words. They have been sent to you to hold on to and employ to the glory of the LORD JESUS who forever reigns in heaven and on earth with you. Join Precious and I in a forty days fast, forty glories after glory as we deepen this word in our spirit so that we manifest it in time and before all men. We shall never be the same after every glory; we shall never be human ever again as we make known our divine nature as sons of the HIGHEST.

He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us. Yes, this word is GODz love letter to you HIS bride; this year is HIS dearest offer to you given to prove HIS affection for you before all men.

"THE LIGHT IN DARKNESS": BY JOHN GRACE
Looking back, at the unfolding of 2011, I see many things to excite me, concerning what God is doing across the globe. I also see many trends that are equally disconcerting. The world, as anyone who understands Scripture knows, continues to descend into ever-deepening darkness. Though troubling to witness, this is not what has me concerned. Rather, it is the rapid decline of biblical Christianity-especially in the West. Professed Christians, by the thousands, seem to be falling further away from the light of His truth and into the deep darkness of the world. Much of what passes for Christianity (esp. in the West) bears absolutely no resemblance to apostolic faith. It's as if we are those that are groping about in darkness, blind to Truth, and unaware of the mission. Shadows of compromise, ignorance, and carnality have obfuscated the glory of His excellent, illuminating light. The reality of the reason for Christmas escapes us, as we splash in the shallow waters of commercial religion. "The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned" (Matthew 4:16). God Incarnate has come! He Who is the Light Of the World has come and shined the Light of true grace and salvation into a world thick with the black darkness of sin and evil. The full glory of the Father was irradiated through His Son, the Lord Jesus, in the body of a man.
Christmas is not a nice little story about a baby born in a manger, gifts under a tree, nor even the traditional "love for your fellow man". Christmas is about a divine invasion into hostile territory to proclaim liberty to those held captive therein. It's about Light streaming from the glorious Throne of God to illuminate the darkness and shed its rays of blessing and life upon those dead in sin. We need to wake up from our stupors and recognize this reality and flood the world with that light. Preach the Gospel, proclaim the liberty bought at the Cross, and preach deliverance to those chained in the darkened prisons of sin and unrighteousness! Remember once more the true "reason for the season" and declare the victory of the Kingdom of Light over this cruel world of darkness. Call men/women everywhere to repent and come forth into the light!! We must start from the pulpit to the pew, awakening those professed Christians to righteousness. We must shake off the slumber of apathy and misleading Christianity, and, with zeal, return again to the living God! There is absolutely no reason for the church to be groping around in the darkness, stumbling like blind men, when the glory of God has shined heaven's light into our souls and given us grace. Pray that the veil is removed that the illumination of revelatory light floods our spiritual eyes and the awareness of truth brings us, first to our knees in repentance, but then to a passionate declaration of Light's victory over the dark. We must, as Jesus spoke (quoting Isaiah), tell them that "the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light", and that "upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned". This is the reason for the season. This is what Christmas truly means. Isaiah summed it up best, and with that I close. “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, 3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.� Blessings, dearly loved ones, and may you be flooded with light, that you may indeed call others to the same! Merry Christmas!! ~John Grace~
“My People are Destroyed”
Father God laid something on my heart this morning, and at first, I really didn‟t understand how this worked, but here‟s what He showed me. Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. God‟s primary law(s) are the two Jesus spoke of when He said; Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mat 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Love is the key to everything in the law of God, which by the way was never done away with, only fulfilled. Both in the old and new testament, we read, even study, God had compassion on them, Jesus or He had compassion on them.
COMPASSION, n. 1. A suffering with another; painful sympathy; a sensation of sorrow excited by the distress or misfortunes of another; pity; commiseration. Compassion is a mixed passion, compounded of love and sorrow; at least some portion of love generally attends the pain or regret, or is excited by it. Extreme distress of an enemy even changes enmity into at least temporary affection. He being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity. Psa 78. His father had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. Luke 15. COMPASSION, v.t. To pity. In the Hebrew, the word is rachamim; which means mercy, compassion Compassion is a form of love that goes deep, when people are hurting or struggling, because of the masks we wear, we may never know, there‟s something going on, but if we‟re in tune with the Spirit of God, we will know. We are not to make judgment of people for how they act or what they do, for we never know how much pain or suffering they‟re in, even if they tell us. My people are destroyed, because ne‟erdowell, supposed Christians, with their high and mighty attitudes, have forgotten their own pain and suffering, putting on their happy masks, decieving others and themselves. The supposed, lawless Christian society is guilty of killing their own, all for the lack of love and the compassion out of the lack of knowledge for the things, others are going through. I know this amazing woman of God, a Prophetess, who gave God all the glory for the things she received from men or women giving into her bosom, and she did it righteously. She willingly lays her life aside to council and pray for people, continuously and in this God rained blessings on her and caused people to give into her. This is the way it ahould be done, all in love, from her whole being. Many run around making wild claims that God blessed them with this or that, but all they‟re really doing is bragging, not as much on God, but more out of a sense of false pride. This kind of activity needs to stop, because to often we forget that God said; Mat 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
We need to get back to the basics and be obedient to God in every measure, we need to ask God to teach us all how to love righteoousness and rightly. In and of ourselves, we are failures at love, we do not understand that love isn‟t a word we throw around to make things OK, nor is it an emotion we feel, it is an act, a verb, an action word, that takes us out of our place and lifts other higher than ourselves. This is a year assigned to great blessings and far to many have associated that with we can continue in our ways and God will still bless us. What if that‟s not true, because if you are willing to read the prophecys for this year, those abundant blessings are for the remnant. Let us not fool ourselves or be fooled, being deceived at every turn. Let us turn back to the one true God, stop trying to take His place, unless you‟re willing to suffer the very same as He did for us, before and on the cross. Let us stop destroying others, the church building is supposed to be a gathering house, a hospital for the sick, hurting and prisoners, to be raised up as true disciples of Jesus. Let us dig deep in the Word of God and get to know Him and His expectations of us, that we the church may do the greater things Jesus called us to do. My prayer is the same as the remnant, that the fluff will fall, eys will be opened, hearts purified and hands cleaned and that we do exactly what God our Father expects of us. That the love of God that never fails will rise up and overtake evil with goodness and our Father will be proud to say for all to hear, these are My children in whom I am well pleased. God bless anyone who takes this to heart and is willing to seek God in every way and let Him change us. AMEN!!! Let us cease from our petty thinking and love with God‟s love like never before, bringing life to others and not destruction.
FAITH IN CHRIST vs. UNBELIEF
Jude, successor to James as the anointed of God, wrote his epistle sometime after A.D. 70 “to them that are sanctified by God the Father” (Jude 1:1). As he was writing to them about “the common salvation”, he found it needful that he also exhort them that they should “Earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”. These are two distinct experiences, as is demonstrated in Acts 5:1-14. Shortly after Peter had “Confirmed the covenant with many” for seven years (Dan. 9:27), and brought the Church to perfection (Eph. 4:9-15), two members of the Church, Ananias and Sapphira, laid an unholy offering at the feet of “The Twelve” and fell dead almost immediately. “And great fear fell upon all the Church, and upon as many as heard these things”. “And of the rest no man dared join himself to them: but the people magnified them. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both men and women”. The people of God‟s Church must make a covenant in fulfillment of 2 Kings 11:17-19, wherein Jehoiada the Priest made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people; that they should be the Lord‟s people. To be born again did not have that requirement. Yet any person who asks God to redeem them essentially makes a personal covenant with Him. Jude was greatly troubled concerning the men who had “crept in unawares, ungodly men, turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ”. And in Hebrews 3:12 Paul also warned us saying, “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God”.
Unrighteousness had gradually infiltrated Christianity, and the light of the Church of God, the Faith of God‟s Elect, had been lost and would not be restored until the twentieth century AD. To be a Christian is to have what Jude calls here “the common salvation,” but they had lost the greater faith that had once been delivered unto the Church by the Apostles and Prophets. It is “the Church” that is called “the Elect of God” (Matt. 24:31; Rom. 11:7). It is they who will receive the greater prize, and become “the Bride, the Lamb‟s wife”. But there will be Christians of all kinds as guests at the wedding (Matt. 22:1-10). In 1903, God restored that faith to us through a man named A. J. Tomlinson, and anointed him to raise up the Church. In his forty years, as the Anointed of God, he accomplished that, to a degree, although the Church was never brought to perfection. The Church did survive at different levels of righteousnes until late 1980, and it will soon be raised up again, and perfected as “the Bride, the Lamb‟s wife”, the Tabernacle of David (Acts 15:15-18). We are now about two months into the seventh millennium, and have not yet seen such a wonder. However, the plan of God will unfold, and the Kingdom of God shall be established here on Earth very soon, according to prophecy (Amos 3:6-8). Again, Jude said, let me remind you, “how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not”. In so doing, Jude prophesied that a similar experience would ultimately ensnare the people who had found life in Christ Jesus, but had corrupted His way, because of their unbelief in His Word. The children of Abraham worshipped God, but their worship was mixed with idolatry. So, again and again God punished Israel and Judah, leading them in and out of captivity. He finally destroyed the nation of Israel more than 600 years BC. Then in about 454 BC, after Judah had spent 70 years in captivity, Ezra and Nehemiah were allowed to return to Jerusalem and begin to restore the way of worship which God had given them by Moses. At the beginning of the fifth millennium from Adam, God sent His only begotten Son unto the Jews, that they might be Born Again and reap the fulness of His promise to Abraham. But they did not even make it through that century.
Jesus Christ came, and those who believed Him became new creatures in Christ Jesus and recipients of God‟s promises to Abraham. Some of whom became heirs to the “Exceeding great and precious promises” of the Lord (2 Pet. 1:4). They who followed the Apostles of Jesus were formed into the Church of God, God‟s Elect. From the beginning of Jesus‟ ministry to 70 AD, the light of the Gospel had gotten brighter and brighter, as the hearts of the unbelieving Jews became harder and harder. By 70 AD, the season of reckoning had come, and God brought total destruction upon Israel, including Jerusalem and the Sanctuary, according to Ezekiel 5:1-2, together with the historical record. The time came, and the work was done, and there was never a nation of Israel again until 1948. However, the rest of that prophecy shows that the Jewish Church was hidden from that holocaust (Luke 21:20-21), and later became martyrs, according to Ezekiel 5:3-4. The believers of the Grace Age are now facing the same fate of those who came out of Egypt, because they, too, do not believe the promises of God. Oh, they might say, “But we do believe!” Yes, but I am talking about true faith. “(The) faith (which) cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God,” rightly divided (Rom. 10:17). However, not very much of the Word of God is preached in our churches today, to say nothing of “rightly divided”. They simply survive on the milk of the Gospel, and “Simplicity” is the hew and cry. And if anyone comes around them, who might have a broader knowledge of the Word, they are simply not allowed to speak, thereby denying their congregation any depth of understanding. They boldly ignore Jesus‟ admonition to “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares” (Heb. 13:2). Did not Abraham believe God, and “It was counted to him for righteousness”? And did not Mary go to visit Elisabeth, when they were both pregnant? And did not Elisabeth, being “Filled with the Holy Ghost, (speak) out with a loud voice, and say, Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord” (Luke 1:39-45)? Remember John 1:1-2, “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.”
Therefore, those who can not, or will not believe the words which are spoken by God in the Holy Scriptures, will be punished in the soon coming “Day of The Lord”, although they are His children (Heb. 11; Amos 5:14-20). “Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men‟s persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” (Jude 1:14-21, 25). By AD 40, Peter had built the Church and brought it to perfection, fulfilling the 70th week of Daniel‟s prophecy (Dan. 9:24-27). Almost immediately thereafter, Jesus appeared to Saul of Tarsus, and commissioned him to establish the gospel among the Gentiles. Perhaps as much as five to ten years later, the effect of Paul‟s outreach had flourished, and was causing great controversy because of the law of circumcision. A general conference of the ministry was called, and James gave us a very informative, and prophetic dissertation, saying, “Men and brethren, hearken unto me: Simeon (Peter) hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for His name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, “After this I will return, and will build again the Tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: that the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world”.
God gave His promise to Abraham, with two thousand years to “get it right”. During which, under Moses, God gave them His Sanctuary without the Holy Spirit, then, in Christ, God gave them a new sanctuary with the Holy Spirit. In AD 70, immediately before the destruction of Jerusalem, the Church fled as Jesus had told them to (Luke 21:20-21), and escaped the destruction. Sometime after AD 70 the redeemed of the natural seed of Abraham finished their part of the plan of God, and the Tabernacle of David, where the Throne of David was, fell down (Isa. 16:1-5). Before the Jewish Church was through, Jesus had already appeared to Saul and launched the work of God among Gentiles so that when the martyrdom of the Jewish believers had come to pass, the Gentile work was strong enough to survive. And soon now, we will see the fulfillment of the words of James, as he quoted the words of the prophets, “After this I will return, and build again the Tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof and set it up: that the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things” (Acts 15:15-17). Solomon also said, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Eccl. 3:1). And again, “The Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. The Lord hath spoken, who can but prophesy” (Amos 3:6-8). We have now come to a very important change in the times. The seventh millennium began at about the time of the Autumnal Equinox last September. The Church, the Bride, the Lamb‟s wife, Jews and Gentiles, will soon come to its fulness and reign with Christ, for a thousand years. The unbelieving will refuse to answer His knock, His call, and will have to face that fierce persecution which will follow His call. Remember the words of Jesus, “As the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. They knew not until the flood came, and took them all away.” They should have known, but they just did not believe what was being preached, and what was going on before their eyes. “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20:29).
