A MOTHER'S PAIN & HEARTACHE - BUT LOOK WHAT GOD HAS DONE!!!!

JUSTIN STRIGGLES - my youngest son!!! His father died when he was 4 and I raised him alone. He was genius; but most kids when they are genius you must keep them in involved in something that challenges them. When He was in the 7 grade - they skipped him to the 9th grade. I never saw him study - if he saw it - he got it. I had to tell him the other children were NOT stupid. 9th grade - He would go to a school out of the district where none of his friends qualified for. THAT WAS WHEN THE TROUBLE STARTED!!!! Everyone called him the little professor because he was a perfectionist & wore glasses!!!! He started cutting school & begain getting high - I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE!!! It was hell to pay. He was 22 when we began homeless - he would work & sleep in his car. I took him to South Carolina that he would be with family - while I would attempt my life. The family didn't know him nor received him. He wanted to find me in New York as he was living with a stranger that took him in. He would "ask a white boy for his money - which that brought him a double whammy. He was New York & He didn't see color. South Carolina gave him 10 years - he did 9. 1st offense - and never touched the young man.

I had finally got my new apartment & was about to send for him. I flew into S.C. - He said "mommy go back to new york & forget about me because I can't do 10 years & I am going to hang myself in the prison.' Though my heart was breaking - I had to find an inner strength to encourage my child. I didn't cry - I looked in straight in the face & said - you will be strong for me & I will be strong for you. The pain was unbearable - the days of him being a lawyer or doctor were over; for now He was a convicted felon. BUT GOD!!!!! He returned to New York - began working immediately. He backslide for a moment - GOD SAID O NO!! He decided to back to school & graduated Valedictorium of His Class - to my amazement he gave a resounding speech even recognizing me in the speech. It ignited something in him to see how the crowd responded to his speech. He had his self worth back. He has one degree in Masonry, laying carpet, putting up tile, laying tile and laying wood flooring. He said "Mommy I have to raise the bar - I am going for my degree in Science & History + Mathematics." The genius was back. I can't tell you the times I cried & ministered. O YEAH - HUGE - HE CAME OUT OF PRISON QUOTING SCRIPTURE & HE IS NOW ALSO COUNSELING OTHER YOUNG MEN FROM HIS EXPERIENCE. HE IS NOT BITTER NOR ANGRY. I pray this blesses some parents to know that when you have done all you can give them to God & watch God change things. He prays every night - I JUST WANT TO SAY - THANK YOU JESUS!!! Urs might have graduated right on time & Glory to God for that; but KNOW THAT I AM VERY PROUD OF MY SON - JUSTIN STRIGGLES!!! As you minister in the prisons - share this story with them. from the desk of Apostle J. Striggles

Thrown Under the Bus: JEFF GODSOWN

To throw (someone) under the bus is an idiomatic phrase meaning to sacrifice another person (often a friend or ally), who is usually not deserving of such treatment, out of malice or for personal gain. The phrase has been widely popularized by sports journalists since 2004 and was picked up by the mainstream media during the 2008 primary season. It has frequently been used to describe various politicians distancing themselves from unpopular or controversial figures. People lie on other people all the time, unfortunately, it is a natural self protetive device used by a person to take eyes off them, because they have done something severely wrong and are trying to take the attention off themselves. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. These, that would lie on us, are to some degree, self driven, however; we must remember that the evil seed that brought this action on, is established by dark powers. One of the things that we seldom see when reading our Bibles, is the fact that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with spiritual wickedness in high places. So my question is this, where is you eyesight, if you can so easily get caught up in measure that will destroy another, while attempting to protect self. People of God, do you not know, do you not understand who you are serving?

Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Can you not see, your actions are not pleasing to God? Each and everyone of us is tempted and each tempting is a form of trial, a trial put on by God. Why do I say a trial put on by God, because God is in charge of everything that happens. If we lok back on the life of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s servant Job, we see God suggested to satan to try His servant Job. Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Job 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Job 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. Job 1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. Job 1:12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

We as a body of supposed believers, are not faring well in either love the Lord your God with you whole heart, mind, soul, and strength, and failing even more miserably at love your neighbor as yourself. When we who lack Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, gang up on our brothers and sisters in the Lord, we show forth rotten fruit! 1Jn 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? No two people are in any way designed of God the same way, therefore, we all learn at different rates, that alone says we have no right of judgment of others, and yet we continue to shoot our own. In doing so, we serve satan who has set out to divide and keep divided, the body of Christ.

God has chosen, appointed, and annointed, certain people to teach His truth and if you who think yourself wise, disagree with the teachings, shut your mouths and study the matter out, before you judege or condemn the teacher. They have been engaged in deep hunger of God, for greater truths, truths designed to turn the body from its present condition, back to the ways and statutes of God. Why? So that none of you are lost in your own understanding of delusionary thought patterns, and that love will abide and be given in patient effort towards all men. You, who bring judgment on others serve only to bring judgment on yourselves, while throwing others under the bus and then backing up and over them time and again. God has said point blank, "STOP IT! Do you not know I love you, I want you here with me and not serving in the second death”. Those who have chosen at all cost to worship the Lord thy God and serve Him only, God knows your plight and your pain, and He will take His vengeance on those who will not repent. We who have been patient must remain patient, for God is merciful and His mercy endures forever. God will however; give them time to repent, but at the same time He will do what it takes to change them. If you have been thrown under the bus, God will strengthen you, but we need to be and remain receptive to His unknnown ways and look in continued faith for God’s strengthening hand. We also must remain in loving mode, denying our desire for revenge, that their soul may be saved. I am one who has been thrown under the bus by so many in my life, including and especially leadership, but like I said, this has been a trial at each step, to grow me in the ways and love of the Lord. This is definitely where we must grow, and in these last days, grow faster, closer and stronger, to the Lord. It is my hope and the hope of many who have suffered and been raised by God, even resurrected by God, that those who hurt others, will finally grow up and receive all that God has for them, with broken and contrite hearts. This is the place where we all begin to glean from the abundant life Christ said would be and could be ours. I don’t care how many read this and agree or disagree with it, what I do care about is; if even one person is turned to God in the correct way that God is looking for and saved, then I’m pleased. God bless everyone and we will continue in prayer for all.

EAGLE: Eagerly Anticipating God’s Loving Embrace: BY ANGEL C.M.FULKERSON

It has been said that an eagle comes to a place in its life where it must choose to die or go through a painful renewal process that takes approximately 150 days. The first time I heard this story, I was awestruck and full of unbelief; so I started a grand search for the truth reading many stories including this one. In reading the many articles, sermons and studies concerning the eagle I understand why the eagle is mentioned, at least, 26 times as life applicable illustrations alone. When the eagle chooses the renewal process over death, he flies to a "high place” away from everything where he can be alone and have no need to retreat or fly. This place becomes his place of rest and renewal. In this place, he bangs at his beak until it busts off then waits for it to grow back stronger and sharper than before. Next, with his new beak, he pulls at his talons until they are removed as they have grown long and curled making it hard to catch his prey but they, too, grow back renewed in strength and power and able to be more precise than before. Finally he plucks out all of his old and overgrown feathers that have become heavy making it hard for him to fly and he waits… During this 5 month process, the eagle stays in that secret place high above because he is defenseless, and unable to do his regular routine… His choice was death or renewal. He chose renewal and although the sound of it; all that he must go through to be renewed… it seems so painful… but it was worth it because once the wait is over… once the old is cast off and the new growth is in place—he is stronger than ever! More powerful than ever! He is a force for his enemy to be reckoned with!

If we could only learn from the eagle, to take rest in that high place; in that secret place for the Word tells us that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. We will say f the Lord, He is my refuge and strength. If we would take time to be renewed-- to be washed with the Word-- If we would wait… trust… Imagine the power; the strength; the renewal that only God can give. Isaiah 40:31 say: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Father, help us to go to that secret place that we may be renewed as the eagle. Thank you. In Jesus Name, Amen. Permission to reprint ©Angel C. M. Fulkerson Christian Acronym Devotions

PLANNING YOUR DAY: BY CATHERIN SKINNER

Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matt. 6:33 (NASB) We live in a very anxious society. Many of us are more worried about tomorrow than today. We bypass all of today’s contentment because of our worry about what might happen tomorrow. Jesus tells us in verse 34 "Do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will care for its own. Our priority should be that of verse 33, "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” God always gives us instruction and guidance on how we should live our lives on a daily basis. So often we are overwhelmed with having too many things to do. We forget to prioritize our day because we cannot do all the things that come our way within a 24 hour day. We must set priorities for our time in each day to get the best out of it. When we set priorities, we determine what is important, and what isn’t, and how much time we are willing to give each activity. Our Bible’s gives us guidelines for the godly ordering of our lives: Our personal relationship to Him (Matthew 6:33; Philippians 3:8). Our time for home and family (Genesis 2:24; Psalm 127; 1 Timothy 3:2-5). Our time at work (1 Thessalonians 4:112-12). Our time for ministry and community activities (Colossians 3:17).

Know when to say yes, even when to say no, and that it is ok, because we cannot do all the things that come our way. You can say no to the good things and save the yes for the best. Don’t be afraid to say no. If you have established Matthew 6:33 as one of the key verses in your life you can very well quickly decide whether a particular opportunity will help you to—seek God’s kingdom; seek God’s righteousness. After learning to say no easily, you can begin to major on the big things of life and not get bogged down with issues that don’t really matter. Take the time to spend quality time in the present of your God, that you may prioritize your life. God is seeking an eternal yes from each of us. Father God, since you are a God of order I also want t have order in my life. Thank you for sharing this verse with me and your family many years ago. It has enlightened me to prioritize major and minor issues in my life. I pray that these two verses will enlighten others as well to get excited about not being anxious for tomorrow and realize that You take care of our daily needs as we seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness. In Jesus Name. Amen. Inspired by the Word of God Written by Emilie Barnes Reflections of Quiet Moments Alone with God Shared by Catherin Skinner

RUN WITH HORSES : INGRID POTGIETER

JEREMIAH 12:1-6 Jeremiah’s Complaint You are always righteous, O Lord, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease? You have planted them, and they have taken root; they grow and bear fruit. You are always on their lips but far from their hearts. Yet you know me, O Lord; you see me and test my thoughts about you. Drag them off like sheep to be butchered! Set them apart for the day of slaughter! How long will the land lie parched and the grass in every field be withered? Because those who live in it are wicked, the animals and birds have perished. Moreover, the people are saying, "He will not see what happens to us.” God’s Answer "If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan? Your brothers, your own family— even they have betrayed you; they have raised a loud cry against you. The one of the reasons I love Jeremiah is that in all things he KEPT IT REAL, he held no punches when speaking about life, issues, concerns and God’s people.

When asked to write this article, I asked the Lord why me, in the midst of my storm and trial, there is a request to write about Your plan, purpose and goodness, I don’t even have enough to carry myself, how do I encourage others? The Lord quickened me to this conversation between Jeremiah and Himself and I am once again reminded of HIS SOVEREIGNITY. No matter what we are enduring in this season, it is IN AND PART OF THE SOVEREIGN PLAN OF THE FATHER – Romans 8:28, believe that it is working for your good. He is using your trial, your test to prepare you to "run with horses”. He is using you and your situation to bring others to repentance, to teach people His Ways, so that many may KNOW His Name. Horses have been known as the animals of "kings” – regal in both stature and appearance. They are renown for "grace, elegance, endurance and speed”. Their owners and care-givers take great care of their diet, grooming and appearance, much time, effort and resources go into the care and breeding of this animal. So too is the Father preparing His children for the race that He has called us to. He has kept His eye on our diet, on our grooming, on the training schedule and on the "heats” that we have had to run, in preparation for the race of endurance that is set before us. Though your circumstances may look like everyone around you is getting on, is prospering, that promises are being manifest and your life may look like nothing is going on, fret not – YOU ARE BEING PREPARED TO RUN WITH HORSES.

LIFE IS A BATTLE FIELD: PASTOR AFAM MOSES

Life is a continuation of human race or struggle for the survival of the fittest. Life is a natural phenomenon that has a dimensional conception in the human circle where every individual is expected to meet up with his or her desired motives. Every Christian is expected to undergone series of miserable challenges ahead of life at large. Life as a compulsory factor should be understood into 2 different aspects ie facing visible and invisible challenges. Secondly, embracing good atmospheric stage of life Christians who were created in the image and likeness of God should be set to experience life battle because it is through life battle that spiritual life of a Christian could be awaken to overcome difficulties. When a Christian's life is totally perfect, such person might be seen going astray because the possibility of the Christian serving his creator may seem to be very hard. Any Christian who have glorious faith and trust in God should not welcome any spirit of fear or rejection. Despite the lengthy confidence in which Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had in God Almighty, these 3 men were able to experience an irremediable battle field of life. In Daniel Chapter 3, the narrative of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego describes how they were sent into a blazing fiery furnace because of their stand to exclusively serve their God alone. By Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s angel, they were delivered out of harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way from this order of execution by the King of Babylon. The case of these 3 noble men explained and defined, how any Christian could come across his or her battle field since the work of God is still in our daily diaries.

A Christian living without getting nor achieving his/her desired point is a battle field. To be a single Christian Brother or sister is a challenge and will open door for the battle field. Every servant of God without acquiring and having the spirit of God in is his/her life is a conventional battle that can possibly denied such minister of God from not growing higher in anointing and power of the most high God. When Paul and Silas, were passing through their own battle field of life, the Lord hearkened, and heard the prayer and praises of His servants, and He intervened with a testimony that should have appalled the stoutest hearts, and that accomplished the purpose for which it was sent."Suddenly there was a great earthquakes that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened. When someone is imprisoned, he/she is passing through the same process of battle field in life. Even life as a battle field, affected peter when he found himself in the prison Acts 12:3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;19 but the night before his trial an angel appeared to him and told him to leave. Peter's chains fell off and he followed the angel out of prison, then prison doors opened of their own accord and the angel led Peter into the city. Every situation under this planet earth has its own remedy. It does not matter who have brought you in the battle field but who is standing to fortify you with spiritual and physical strength to conquer in the battle field. The church found out that Peter was seriously into the battle field of life and they refused to relent from praying earnestly which provoked God to send his angel for the release of peter from the jail. A Christian living below standard in life is a challenge and no battle field without a challenge. By the power of Holy Ghost condemn every spirit of battle field in your finances, marriages, careers, businesses, families, Christian and spiritual lives. I destroy every plans and activities of the enemy towards your lives and future. And i command every visible and invisible powers of darkness to get out of your lives. I pray thee that every of your expectations, visions and dreams in life, shall not be seized. In the Name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

God Interruptions Come Suddenly~: WRITTEN BY KATHIE WALTERS /SHARED BY SUSAN C. CLARK

God spoke to me about His interruptions last week, then I received two emails from a news media and they talked about interruptions. We tend to think of interruptions as negative, but when they are God interruptions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; guess what? They are good, and can be awesome and stupendous. Jesus interrupted Lazarus from his sleep â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that's a good interruption. God's interruptions can also be a wake-up call. Have you ever been in a meeting and suddenly smelled the aroma of coffee? That's a wake-up call from God to be ready for open doors, sudden opportunities and divine interruptions. An Oily Interruption An angel interrupted me once when I was watching a movie one Sunday evening. Half way through the movie an angel came and stood behind me and poured oil all over my head. It went down my chest and arms and it felt like a river. I slipped off of the sofa and onto the floor. The friend who was with me asked, "What are you doing on the floor?" I replied, "Can't you see this huge angel?" and she said, "No, but I can smell oil." I said, "Come and sit here," and I scooted over. She sat where I had been sitting, and the angel poured the oil over her; and she, in turn, slipped off the sofa, because it really did feel like a river of oil. The angel stayed there for three and a half weeks, and people were calling my house asking if they could come and sit on the sofa. The angel poured the oil on everyone who sat there. I did notice that most of the people who came over received a major life direction-changing word for their lives shortly after. That's the first time I saw the "angel of change."

To Do the Will of Him That Sent You I was once with Sid Roth, and he had been taping TV shows in Charlotte. In the evening, about twelve of us were having dinner. I was hungry and Sid was paying, so I ordered a real nice steak. It came, and before I could pick up the fork, this anointing fell on me so strong and I was frozen. The Holy Spirit lifted me up and took me away from the table. He took me to Florida and I went into a large building (in the Spirit). I saw something happen in the Spirit that was huge. I saw God remove something bad, and after a while I was brought back to where I was. The anointing lifted and I looked at my steak. It was cold and like cardboard; I was a bit annoyed. I said, "God, I was in my hotel room all by myself for two hours before this dinner. Why didn't You do this then?" Someone said, "Ah well, your meat is to do the will of Him that sent you." Another time, I was with my daughter Faith in Chattanooga, Tennessee. We went to a very nice French restaurant in the evening. As we got to the door, the anointing fell on me very strong and my right arm and shoulder suddenly froze, and I was leaning to one side because of it. Faith said, "Mom, stand up." I said, "I can't." The maĂŽtre de sat us right in the corner. "What is it?" Faith said. I had a vision of a pastor being stoned, so I told her and we prayed for this pastor. The Spirit lifted and I just sat normally. Faith said, "Why don't we do this outside? Why do we wait until we arrive at the restaurant?" Well, I can't answer that question. Why does the anointing fall in the mall while you are trying to pay the sales clerk? Why do angels suddenly show up when you're watching a movie you've been waiting to see for six months? We are to be instruments in the hands of the Master Musician. He makes the wonderful melodies through us for the world to hear and for Heaven to hear, too. Remember, the anointing comes on what God does, not on what we do. We are not "working for Jesus," but rather we yield to Him in the Spirit and "His Spirit works through us." We are His workmanship. "He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6).

The glory comes where the grace is, and the glory comes on what God is doing, not what we are doing. It's yielding, not striving. Let go and let God have His way in your life. Tell God you're available (but don't tell Him that if you don't have a passport, ha-ha). See you in a "suddenly." Kathie Walters Good News Ministries Email: kathiewalters@mindspring.com

The Measure of The Stature of The Fullness of Christ: BY KENNETH WHITE

"After the first world war there were tens of thousands of American soldiers who were left in France, and their supreme desire was to get home as soon as possible. Disicipline was greatly relaxed from the tensions of wartime, and the men were securing as much leave time as possible in order to see the sights of Europe. In a certain village about a hundred miles from Paris there was a detachment of American soldiers-a lieutenant and about f0rty men--who were guarding an ammunition dump. There was little to do outside the brief periods of guard duty, but the men amused themselves as best they could. One day, while the lieutenant was on leave, a motorcycle messenger came from General Pershing`s headquarters. He brought word that 2,700 men were to be chosen to march in the peace parades of London,Paris, Brussels, and Rome. The corporal and the sergeant who read the order discovered that there were two conditions imposed as standards of selection. The first brought them no difficulty, for it stated that every candidate had to have a clean record--no man would be chosen who had been court marshaled. But the second condition made them pause. The order stated that every man applying had to be at least one meter and 86 centimeters tall! The corporal looked at the sergeant and the sergeant looked at the corporal and asked him how much one meter and 86 centimeters was. There were no answers. The Americans understood only feet and inches. Then the corporal said the most natural thing in these circumstances. `At any rate Sarge, I`m taller than you.` When the news spread around the group, it was the same all over again. No one knew the metric system.

The men got into arguments about their relative`s heights, and soon they were standing up, back to back, to see who was the tallest in the company. Finally, they knew their comparative heights, all the way from Slim down to Shorty. Slim was very proud and told them that he would send them a postcard from Rome and that he would take a look at the English girls for the rest of them. Poor Shorty received the good natured banter of his friends. Under the circumstances these soldiers did the normal, natural thing. They were in ignorance of the required standard! The information was greatly desired, but this lack led them to set up artificial standards of their own and measure themselves by themselves. Some pride developed in the men who were taller. After all, were they not the most probable candidates? Then the officer returned from leave. He read the order and asked if there were any candidates. "The trouble is , sir" the Sergeant replied, `we do not know what one meter and 86 centimeters is`. The lieutenant, who knew French, went to the village and brought back a meter measure. Soon a mark was made on the wall of the required height(about 6 feet). Now the men were no longer measuring themselves with themselves! They had to stand up against a mark on the wall that was inflexible. It had been established by General Pershing. One or two men backed up to the mark, and their companions told them they were to short, or to tall. Some men merely looked at the mark and knew there was no hope for them. Finally, a call was made for Slim, and he came up to be measured. He pulled himself up to the greatest possible height and stood there, rigid and puffed up, as they measured him. He, too, was short, even though he was short by a quarter of an inch. Of couse, General Pershing got his 2700 men. Many saw them that day when they came under the Arch of Triumph on Bastille Day, the fourteenth of July. These men, all in new uniforms,and with American Beauty roses tied to their bayonets, made a proud sight as they marched down the Champs Elysees, each one at least one meter and 86 centimeters tall! The point of this story lies in the fact that Pershing did not secure any of his marching men from the company described. He was not asking that they be about so tall, but they meet the absolute requirement. At the heart of this story lies in the fact that Slim did not march in the parade any more than did Shorty. As General Pershing had a perfect right to set the standard which set the height of every man that was in the parade, so it is with the high purposes of God.

Multitudes of the Lord`s people are mere spiritual children, and the qualications are very low for children. But sons--mature, manifest sons--are called to meet a higher standard! To march in God`s army, to reign with Christ in his Kingdom,to receive power over the nations, to be a priest of God upon His Throne, to reign in life and bring deliverance to the whole creation from the bondage of corruption, can only be fulfilled by those who have attained unto the measure of the stature of the FULLNESS OF CHRIST! Paul immediately adds to this statement the divine reason behind the requirement. ` That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lay in wait to deceive. But speaking the truth in love, may grow up unto Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: from which the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth...making increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love`.(Eph. 4:14-16 KJV)."..J Preston Eby...

Seven Steps To Revival By: Rev. Timothy Ward

When we look at the state of our nation, we can see how far that we have turned from God. With more than fifty million abortions performed in this country, we longer have respect for human life. Marriages are ending in divorce more than fifty percent of the time, making children suffer growing up in single parent homes. We allow ourselves to be burdened down with the cares of this world, trying to get more "thingsâ&#x20AC;? or money. We deal with issues like sickness, bitterness, and worry. We do not have to let ourselves be burdened down with these things. The Bibles states that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. We can have REVIVAL everyday in our lives, but I believe that there are seven steps to achieving this. Each step is important and needs the other. They are as follows: 1. Repentance 2. Expectancy 3. Vocalization (Prayer) 4. Intimacy with God 5. Vision 6. Acceptance 7. Love Step 1 - This is the first, and most important, step to Revival because we serve a Holy God who cannot look upon sin. Even when Jesus was on the cross, the Father had to turn His head. We must confess our sin and ask for forgiveness before we can come into His presence. We must repent, this includes our thought life as well. The dictionary defines repent as to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the correction of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. We need to totally change the way we act, behave, and think.

Acts 8:21,22 ; 2 Corinthians 7: 9,10 ; 2 Corinthians 5:17 See, we are a wicked people but God says in His Word that if we are born again we are in Christ. If we are in Christ we are a new creature. It is totally impossible to be IN Christ without repentance. Step 2 - The dictionary defines expectancy as anticipating or looking forward to the coming or occurrence of something. This is how we are to be when praying to the Lord. We must believe we already have our answer or our need already met when we pray. We must not doubt, but anxiously and expectantly look for the answer. We must constantly be in an attitude of prayer. Matthew 21: 21,22 ; Mark 11: 24 ; 1 Thessalonians 5:17

If we truly desire to see the Lord move in our lives we must believe when we pray. We must diligently and earnestly seek Him in prayer, then stand firm believing we will receive our answer, not wavering or doubting. Hebrews 11:6 Step 3 - Vocalization is nothing more than prayer, having a conversation with the Lord. Sharing with Him what is on your heart and then allowing Him to speak back to you. Prayer is a two-way conversation, say make sure you allow Him time to speak to you. We know that God is omnipotent, and that He knows what we need. But His Word tells us that we still need to ask. We must make our requests known to God. 1 John 5: 14,15 However, we must also be mindful that if we try to hide sin from God, that we will not have our prayers answered because He will not hear us. Psalm 66:18 Step 4 - Intimacy is defined as a very close association, contact or familiarity, belonging to or characterizing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deepest nature. We need to be so close to the Lord that we represent His very nature. We must have a continual fresh indwelling of the Holy Spirit if we are to exude His nature. We must praise and worship Him. He is worthy of praise and honor and the Word tells us that He inhabits the praises of His people. So, if you desire intimacy with Him, begin to praise and worship Him.

James 4: 8 ; Psalm 22: 3 The Lord desires this intimacy with all His children, but we must take the first step. Verse 10 of James 4 tells us to humble ourselves and He will lift us up. Humility is difficult for many of us because we want to stay in control, but if we want true revival in our hearts we have to let God be in control. Humility is defined as reflecting, expressing or offering deference or submission. If we submit to God, in repentance and expectancy, then we will have this intimacy with God. If we have intimacy with God, then we need to remain intimate with Him. We must abide in Him. Abide is defined as to remain stable or fixed, to continue in one place. If we remain fixed in Him, then He will remain with us. John 15: 7 ; John 14: 23 Step 5 - Vision - When we pray and seek God, we must get a vision of what He wants us to do with our lives. If we have nothing to work toward, we lose interest and soon begin to die spiritually. Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word says that people perish where there is no vision. Once we have the vision of what God has planned for us, we then need to allow Him to flow through us to accomplish it. Proverbs 29: 18 Another V stands for violent. We are in a battle spiritually. Our enemy, the devil, is always out to steal, to kill and to destroy. That is his job. But, we are commanded to submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from us. Resist is defined as to exert force in opposition. We are in a constant state of opposition to the devil. James 4: 7

Step 6 - Acceptance - This is probably one of the hardest steps to achieve. We beat ourselves up and condemn ourselves more than anyone else can when we mess up. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgive ourselves and have a hard time believing what the Word of God says. We need to become like children. Children do not question or doubt. You tell a child something, they receive it quickly. In the spirit, we need to be like a child. We must believe what the Bible says about us, and not go by our emotions. We are joint heirs with Christ, so everything He is and has, we possess as well. We are to accept His love, forgiveness, mercy, grace, and salvation all by faith. 1 John 3: 1 ; Mark 10: 14,15 ; Matthew 19:14 ; Romans 8:16,17

Step 7 - Love - This is the most difficult step of the seven. Walking in love is extremely difficult. We have to be yielded to the Spirit of God, and be led by Him, as not to satisfy the lust of the flesh. We all get angry at times with others (especially driving). However, we must let go of that, and strive with our whole heart to walk in love. This is so important that God put a chapter in the Bible about it. It defines the characteristics of love. But, we first must love ourselves before we can love others. If we love ourselves, and others, as the Bible says, we will be in a constant state of revival because we will be dwelling in God. 1 Corinthians 13 (The Love Chapter) ; 1 John 4: 7-21 We must follow, and continually walk in, these seven steps to truly have revival in our hearts and in our churches. If we, as a nation, would do as the Scripture says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, we would have a national revival and this nation would be transformed by the power of God. So, follow these steps, and watch how the Lord will bring revival to your heart. 1. Repent - turn from sin 2. Expect - everything the Bibles says we have 3. Vocalize - your thankfulness, your needs and desires 4. Intimacy - praise and worship Him 5. Vision - find what God has for you 6. Acceptance - of what the Word says, and believe 7. Love - God, yourself, and your fellow man What is the purpose of revival though? It is not to simply sit around and enjoy and keep to ourselves. It is to give us the boldness to go and be a witness for the Lord. If we are excited about Jesus, others will be also, and those who do not know Him will want to know Him. So, seek revival in your spirit, and then allow God to use you to fulfill the plan He has for your life.

Hello, Hallelujah and Amen! : ANGEL FULKERSON

Hello, Hallelujah and Amen! Isn’t it awesome when God starts our day off with putting a song on our hearts and when we let it rise up out of us through our lips, it makes for a wonderful start to our day. Abba Father, Our Heavenly Daddy who chose us, adopted us and made us His own…made YOU His own… He is the potter and we are the clay. We are the work of His hands if we let Him, IF we go to Him, Abba Father, our Heavenly Daddy.... IF we do not allow ourselves to be hardened and unworkable... On that day we each chose to accept Jesus, we were adopted into a huge family and God became our Father. Jesus became our Savior, our Deliverer and so much more but today know that HE became our brother. I remember once talking with a young girl who had been adopted and she explained that to be birthed into a family is not really a choice...but to be chosen, for someone to look at you and say: "I want you to be a part of my family" is awesome. What is even more wonderful is that not only are you chosen but you also are given the choice of whether or not to accept that family as your own, to choose whether or not that set of parents are who you want. Even after you choose them, there are trust factors that sometimes keep us from loving them but when they love us anyways, even when we are not really theirs, we begin to feel like we are theirs. Thank about that. You may not love them at first but you get to know them, begin to love them and the love you have for them increases AND ITS BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU/US FIRST. This is pretty much how it is in this family of God.

We love Him because He first loved us. He chose us and we are offered the opportunity to choose Him, we choose thus we become children of God. Many think of God as a big judge ready at any moment to slam down the hammer of judgment or to strike us with lightning if we do anything wrong BUT when we chose Jesus we were immediately adopted into the family making God our Father...Abba Father...Daddy. Jesus became like our big brother. Aren't big brothers supposed to look after their brothers and sisters? Awesome, right! Often, we find ourselves being told just how we should do things in our lives but we actually learn through the example of others. Jesus, our big brother, is the example before us...but...how can we follow the example he sets without getting to know Him? The way we get to know Him is through reading the Word of God, through prayer and through other loving brothers and sisters who know Jesus. Being that we are adopted into this family, we depend on our big brother to help us to get to know Daddy better because, in a matter of speaking, we are afraid of Him. He is big and powerful and well, we just don't know Him. Of course, as with our earthly daddy, we also want his attention and sometimes fight with our siblings to get that attention but our Heavenly Father wants us to get alongâ&#x20AC;Ś to come to Him together, and aloneâ&#x20AC;Ś and to know we are each EQUALLY important to Him. Our big brother, Jesus, shows us how to come alone and come together (if we allow him) because he is the leader, the Head.

Our big brother, Jesus, wants you to not be afraid but to talk with Daddy so he can get to know you and mostly so you can get to know Him, to trust Him, to rely on Him and to know about the love He has for you... Jesus opens the way for you to go to our Father during good times and bad, during times when you have done wrong and when you have done right. This Father is not like one you may have ever known before because He accepts you as you are and has a desire for you to be happy and to feel loved. He wants to walk with you and talk with you and for you to desire that which He desires. Remember, He loves you and now, He awaits you coming to know Him and love Him. You love Him because first HE LOVED YOU! You are on your way to a relationship that will last forever. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Will you come to Him? Jesus bids you come to daddy...Abba Father... John 3:16 says to us… to you… God so loves the world (us, me and you) that HE gave His Only Begotten Son (Jesus) so that if we will choose to believe in Him, we will not perish but have everlasting life… so what am I saying to YOU… He Loves You… He Chose You… and he waits on You to say yes, I come… I believe… With this teaching in mind, let us revisit 1 Corinthians 12:12-24 with a fresh outlook… Father God reveal to us something in YOUR Word that draws us closer to YOU… that helps us love YOU and love others more… thank YOU for Your Word, in Jesus Name, amen 1 Corinthians 12:12-24 (NLT)

12 The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. 13 Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles,[a] some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.[b] 14 Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. 15 If the foot says, "I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear says, "I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? 18 But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. 19 How strange a body would be if it had only one part! 20 Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. 21 The eye can never say to the hand, "I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, "I don’t need you.” 22 In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. 23 And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen, 24 while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity.

I am so thankful for you all, my family...for my big brother, Jesus... and for my coming to know God as my loving Heavenly Father. I pray that today will become the beginning of a wonderful lifetime with you and I drawing near to our Father and His family so that we can not only practice the presence of God but experience His presence at all times. May we follow our big Brother Jesus all the way. God Bless you all. -----With love in Jesus, Angel

FOCUS ON THE SPIRIT: BY JOSEPH KING FOCUS ON THE SPIRIT

I AM FOCUSED ON KEEPING YOU FOCUSED ON THE SPIRIT: FOCUS MY DEAR, FOCUS ON THE SPIRIT Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Here I come again and again, and I will not ever tire to do this one thing; Precious and I are eternally committed to blessing the LORD by delivering HIS word to HIS blessed saints and even to the world. We take great joy and delight in sharing from HIS throne even as HE sends us forth in power. Today, I am even more charged than ever with a most serious word that I believe should be of great blessing to you HIS beloved. And herein, I refer to the word HE has commissioned to me as the word for this month of March, which HE has called the month of FOCUSING ON THE GLORY. Specifically for the day, HE has asked me to encourage you to focus on the SPIRIT. Without focus it is impossible to arrive at great destinies; and yet, without focus on the SPIRIT, it should be abundantly known that even if you arrived at a great destiny, that place would never be appreciated and will be utterly wasted.

Let me explain: Look at the children of Israel who arrived at the Promised Land and yet still failed to measure up to the glory that GOD had set for them to be the most exalted nation on the face of the earth, HIS own treasured possession, the apple of HIS eye (Exodus 19:5). Indeed, the apostle Paul clarifies to the Hebrew converts how in spite of this arrival at the Land of Promise how yet the children of Israel did not enter into GODâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest: Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. Make no mistakes about it: It is not that the Promised Land could not have enabled them to enter rest. It had everything that should have guaranteed that. However, the problem that Paul reveals here is that they did not rest because they did not mingle the word they had received with faith. Essentially, even if they were in the destined place that GOD had for them, yet they failed to rest there because of their flesh, because they refused to walk in obedience to the SPIRIT. And before you may be quick to dismiss that lot, think about how many believers today have reached their destinies, their predestined places of greatness and still failed to rest.

Think about how many go to a great church today and are still wasted, still bound, still lacking in knowledge; think about how many are in the marriage that GOD destined for their favor, their pleasure, their prosperity, their joy, and yet they are still miserable, still angry, bitter, confused, still wasted; think about how many are in their destined job where they should abound, be a blessing, be lifted and prospered and healthy but instead they are fired, always in strife, always failing, always in trouble, and losing the very job of their destiny. Why? Why do glorious saints mess up their destinies? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that GOD is not moving today; HE is and HE does move the steps of the good man even more today than HE did in the Old Covenant (Psalm). Indeed, the word declares: Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Many believers quote this word without realizing that GOD means exactly what HE says and said what HE meant. Many believers that quote this word use their same mouth to complain about where they are. Rather than acknowledge that all things are working for their good, they will in times of testing confess negatives and failings completely oblivious of their privileged position in CHRIST wherein their destiny is from height to height.

Beloved, there is no greater assurance for walking in destiny, in the perfect will of GOD, on the path of the righteous that gets brighter every passing day than in CHRIST JESUS. HE is the will of GOD in its fullest expression; the divine course that sets from glory to glory. Listen to HIS audacious remark in this regard: John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. HE wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just talking about going to heaven as some have religiously and quite erroneously thought HE was saying. HE was talking about walking in the perfection of glory that the FATHER is and declaring that it is impossible for one to assume this immortal destiny without HIM. Get this: Walking in CHRIST is walking in destiny; it is walking the most perfect way, the most perfect truth, the most perfect life there ever is and there will ever be. The one that walks this way, walks in a series of glories that just get brighter and brighter till the perfect day when HE returns with crowns for every victor.

FOCUS ON THE CROSS: HELP PRECIOUS AND I DELIVER 3 MILLION COPIES OF THIS BOOK TO WIN 25 MILLION SOULS.

But why is that many believers in CHRIST, even ministers, are walking in troubled paths of failure and defeat. I am not talking about those who have walked in troubled paths of persecution and have even died for the sake of HIS name. Not at all; suffering for the sake of CHRIST is the highest badge of honor in our mortal world (Colossians). What I am talking about is those who suffer for nothing, for their own evil ways because they have sown in the flesh and reaped corruption so that everything they do is a failure. Reality is, that the Christian way of life is supposed to be a continuous bounty of victories because of our faith and the results thereof. However, the testimonies of many attests to something different. Why? The answer lies in the foolishness in many to shift from the SPIRIT and meander into the flesh. When a believer walks after the flesh, walks in the path of the unrighteous; when a believer walks focused on the patterns of this corrupt world; that believer sows on dangerous grounds and will indeed reap corruption. That explains why many believers talk about having one mess after another all years round. You hear of a believer earnestly desiring for his business to profit, to increase, and yet for years on end the same matter which he/she presents before a loving GOD who has already given all things in CHRIST, is left pending even as the believer fails continuously. You also hear of believers falling sick allover their bodies; Christians with headaches, heartaches, back aches, soul aches, stomach aches, and all kinds of aches.

You also hear of believers failing in marriage after marriage; of ministers for goodness sake, marrying and failing in marriage one after another. And why? Well the answer is simple really: Many believers have compromised their lives and have settled for this world; many are focused on the flesh. Their eyes are often zeroed on the things that are earthly, beneath, the things that are passing away. It is so sad to see believers unaware that there citizenship is in heaven and accepting the rules of the earth as status quo. Many of them watch the evening news trembling with the world, wondering what the answers to all the mess shall be completely oblivious that the greatest answer for all men, for all troubles, JESUS, was given for total salvation. But you do not have to be this way, life can be quite different. Indeed, you can rise and be the difference that the world is seeking by choosing to live as you should; by being a true believer that walks after the SPIRIT, focused on the things above. This is the way that the apostle Paul walked. Listen to HIS right counsel: 2Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

2Corinthains 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 2Corinthains 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. OMG!!!! If every believer could get a hold of this; everyone, every soul, every man and woman, every child, could get a hold of this knowledge. This is the focus that will translate tears into joy, fears into faith, rejection into celebration. The one that focuses on the things above, the one that adopts the vision of GOD and looks at the things are permanent has discovered the blue print of glorious success. Yes, when you walk focused on the SPIRIT, you walk focused on power, wonders, and great opportunity. This is the way JESUS walked even when HE faced HIS death. Rather than despair and be filled with despondence and terror, HE saw better things beyond the cross; HE saw glory. I love it the way the author of the book of Hebrews says it, watch this: Hebrews 12:2 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.

Walking like JESUS will get you focused on glory even when death and shame is facing you right on your face. And when you do, then glory will overcome the mess and soon you will above your threats walking victoriously. This is what you need and not religion and all its accompanying foolishness. This is the revelation, the life of divine insight that is essential to convert your days from mess into a divine message of victory. Do you want it? I bet you do; inside you is a spirit created for this journey of glory to glory and it is urging you even as you read this note to desire the best, to aspire to be the greatest, to venture beyond limitation and reach beyond the skies. I write this note confident that even as you read, the power of the SPIRIT is working exceedingly, abundantly, far above what I may ask or even think to get you to shift focus from beneath to the heights of eternal glory.

" IT'S TIME TO MARCH FORTH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!" BY PROPHETESS SISTER MARY BOLDEN

THE BIBLE TELLS US IN ECCLESIATES THAT THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERYTHING . AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. WHAT HAS BEEN , SHALL BE AGAIN. IN SHORT, HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. SO, YOU'RE BEGINNING TO FEEL AS I DO, YOU'VE GONE FULL CIRCLE AND IT MUST BE YOUR TIME TO GO FORTH. YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING, TRUSTING, HOPING, BELEIVING FOR A LONG TIME. OR SO IT SEEMS TO YOU. BUT, THE WORD TEACHES ALSO THAT OUR TIMING IS NOT THE SAME AS HIS AND OUR WAYS (IN THE NATURAL) ARE NOT THE SAME AS HIS WAYS. A THOUSAND YEARS COULD BE THE SAME AS A DAY TO THE LORD GOD AND A DAY AS A THOUSAND YEARS. IN OTHER WORDS, WE MUST TRUST HIM AND KNOW THAT HE IS ETERNITY AND HE HOLDS TIME IN HIS HAND !!!. HE SEES ALL, HEARS ALL, KNOWS ALL BECAUSE HE IS OMNISCIENT!

SO, IN SHORT, THE FATHER KNOWS BEST! JESUS TAUGHT US ALL THROUGH OUT THE BIBLE THAT WE MUST TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL OF OUR HEART, MIND, SOUL, AND SPIRIT. (PROV. 3) ARE YOU READY TO MARCH FORTH? IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PROMISED TO YOU FOR SOME TIME NOW AND YOU'RE READY FOR THAT BEST THAT, YOU WERE TOLD, IS YET TO COME! YOU'VE ALSO BEEN TAUGHT TO HAVE PATIENCE AND ALLOW IT (PATIENCE) TO HAVE HER PERFECT WORK. FOR THEY THAT WAIT ON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE AN EAGLE; RUN AND NOT GET WEARY; WALK AND NOT FAINT. SO, NOW YOU'VE BEEN ASKING, "WHEN LORD?" WHEN IS IT GOING TO FINALLY BE MY TIME? YOU'VE BEEN CHECKING WITH THE MASTER CONCERNED WITH HIS "MASTER PLAN" FOR YOUR LIFE. HE'S TOLD YOU A LOT OF WONDERFUL THINGS THAT ARE IN THE PLAN AND YOU CAN SEE IT WITH SPIRITUAL EYES AND IT LOOKS SOOO WONDERFUL. YOU'VE GROWN TIRED AND WEARY OF WAITING. COME ON NOW, TELL THE TRUTH. I HAVE ALSO. AND YET, WE ALL KNOW THAT WE CAN'T HURRY OUR GOD! SAINTS, IT'S TIME TO MARCH FORTH IN THE NAME OF JESUS! BUT FIRST, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR (NOT IN PART) OF GOD! OH YES, YOU'RE IN THE ARMY OF THE LORD AND THE ENEMY IS OUT TO KILL , STEAL AND /OR DESTROY YOU AND I!

HE DOESN'T PLAY FAIR, EITHER. AND HE'S VERY SLY AND DECEITFUL IN ALL THAT HE DOES. WELL, GOD GAVE YOU AND I WISDOM FROM ON HIGH, DIDN'T HE? AND HE SAID IN HIS WORD, TO THOSE OF YOU WHO LACK WISDOM, LET HIM ASK OF GOD WHO GIVES TO ALL MEN LIBERALLY. IN OTHER WORDS, IT WON'T COST YOU A THING! BUT YOU WILL PAY DEARLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE WISDOM! YOU'LL BE CONSTANTLY FOOLED BY THE ADVESARY BECAUSE HE LOVES MAKING A FOOL OUT OF A CHILD OF GOD WHO IS NAIIVE AND NOT PRAYING FOR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD OF GOD FOR HIMSELF. I MUST CAUTION YOU ALL TO PROCEED, BUT WITH CAUTION , HOWEVER. DON'T GO AHEAD OF THE LEADING OF THE SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY GOD. THAT MEANS NOT EVEN TO CROSS THE STREET TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE. HE , THE DEVIL, IS LURKING AROUND THE CORNER SEEKING WHO HE MIGHT DEVOUR. AND HE DOESN'T CARE WHAT RACE OR CREED YOU ARE; HOW OLD OR YOUNG YOU ARE; WHAT YOUR "RELIGIOUS BACKGROUND" IS. HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT HURTING YOUR FEELINGS, HE'S OUT TO KILL YOU IF YOUR NAME IS CHRISTIAN AND YOU ARE TRULY A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST JESUS! WELL, YOU SAY, MAYBE I SHOULD JUST STAY BEHIND THE SCENES AND JUST PRAY FOR OTHERS TO GO FORTH. AND I CAN BE SAFE THAT WAY. WELL, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU TO WATCH THE NEWS REPORTS BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN SOME INNOCENT

BYSTANDERS SITTING IN THEIR LIVING ROOM AT HOME, AT THEIR COMPUTER, IN THEIR BEDROOM, ETC. BUT SOMEHOW THE ENEMY CAUGHT UP WITH THEM AND KILLED THEM. CAN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE? YES, IT SURELY CAN. WHY DO YOU THINK THE LORD JESUS SAYS, PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR? HE'S TEACHING US TO GUARD AND SHIELD OURSELVES SO THAT WE CAN BE READY FOR BATTLE. AND WE WON'T BE TAKEN OFF GUARD AS LONG AS WE ARE PRAYING AS WE COME AND AS WE GO; FASTING, TOO. FOR SOME THINGS COME ONLY VIA FASTING AND PRAYING. HE SAYS WATCH AND PRAY. MEN OUGHT TO ALWAYS PRAY. IN OTHER WORDS , YOUR PRAYERS SHOULD BE CONSTANTLY LIFTED UP TO THE LORD . HE WILL IN TURN PASS IT ON IN THE SPIRIT TO THE FATHER WHO WILL HONOR OUR REQUEST FOR HELP WITH HIS SON, JESUS, SPEAKING IN OUR BEHALF. JESUS WILL KEEP US COVERED UNDER HIS BLOOD AND NO DEVIL IN HELL WILL BE ABLE TO TOUCH US BECAUSE JESUS ALREADY TOLD HIM , "TOUCH NOT THE ANOINTED OF GOD AND DO MY PROPHET NO HARM!" KNOWING WHO GOD IS IF OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THEN , KNOWING WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS IS NEXT. ALWAYS REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND WHO IT WAS THAT BROUGHT YOU OUT SAFELY. AND THEN WE MUST STAY FOCUSED AS TO WHERE WE ARE HEADED. AND THE WAY TO DO THAT IS TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST

JESUS. BE LED BY HIS SPIRIT IN ALL THINGS EVEN AS MUCH AS WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO WEAR. THAT'S RIGHT, WE ARE AMBASSADORS OF THE LORD GOD AND WE MUST REPRESENT HIM WELL! A TRULY BORN AGAIN BELIEVER WILL NOT JUST PUT ON ANY OLD THING THAT LOOKS LIKE THE WORLD'S WAY OF DRESS. WOMEN, YOU KNOW YOUR BOSOM SHOULD NOT BE HANGING OUT, NOR SHOULD YOUR THIGHS BE SHOWING TO APPEAR TO BE LURING A LUSTFUL DEMON TO COME YOUR WAY! JESUS SAID IN HIS WORD, IF YOU LOVE ME.....KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS! WHY CALL ME LORD, LORD, IF YOU DO NOT OBEY ME? AND HE SURELY SAID, WITHOUT FAITH, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD! AND FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD! SO NOW, SAINTS OF GOD, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IGNORANCE. IT'S TRULY TIME TO MARCH FORTH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! GOD BLESS YOU ALL, IN JESUS' MIGHTY NAME, PROPHETESS SISTER MARY

MY ALL IN ALL ! : BY MARGARET MULLINGS

During these trying and seemingly difficult times. We face many challenges and temptation is on every side. Yet in the midst of whatever you are going through, I dare you to reach beyond the break, and hold on to your faith which is on the inside of you ! Allow Abba Father to be be your all in all, for He will sustain you ! Written By: Margaret C Mullings I am reminded of Elijah, the Tishbite. Whom God had used to prophesy that, there would be a drought in the land. Read what the word says in 1 Kings 17:1. " And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab. As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word." Then read of how Abba Father provided for Elijah in verses two to four of 1 Kings 17. (2) " And the word of the LORD came unto him saying, (3) Get thee hence, and turn eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. (4) " And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

" Elijah had made God his all in all. The truth is, when you or I make the choice to make Abba Father our all in all : there is a depth we must walk in to receive the height of pleasure in God. Faith and obedience are the key ingredients, even though natural situations all around says no it can't be done. Pause for a few moments to read about a widow woman, who made Abba Father her all in all : and was walking in the depth of having her faith activated. She was put to the test ! Is it not something, how God unbeknown to you, would test you in some dire situations? Verse eight of 1 Kings 17 says. (8) " And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying. (9) " Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belogeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman to suatain thee. " Meanwhile, this same widow woman and her son was walking in the depth of dire situations. Read how the woman responded to Elijah's request in verse (12) " And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and behold I am gathering two sticks that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it and die. " Isn't Elijah's faith remarkable in the Almighty God ? Here is his response to the woman in verse (13) " And Elijah said: but make me therefore a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.

" Is this not marvelous ? Read what verse (14) says. " For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. " Oh Hallelujah! This widow woman had made God her all in all, and knew there was a depth she had to walk in, to receive the height of joy in Him. The question is, was she willing in such dire circumstances? Verse (15) gives the answer. "And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. Verse (16) reveals " And the barrel of meal wasted not neither did the cruse of oil fail according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah. " Now, God wants to show Himself mighty in your situations! Question is, Are you willing to make Him your all in all? Do you dare to go against the norm? Do you dare to stand alone? Having confidence in Abba Father your all in all? I challenge you right now to walk in the depth of all that you are going through. For you will experience the height of joy in Him, who is calling you by your name. He knows your location! He is the Navigator, and just as He sent Elijah to the widow woman, who was in dire need. He is even now sending to you not just help, but He is breaking through on everyside for you ! Continue to make Him your all in all, He will not fail you. Your meal and oil will never run out!

I leave with you this poem entitled, MY ALL IN ALL. Be encouraged and inspired to walk in the depth of what you are going through, to receive the height of pleasure in Him. Your All In All.....the One who removes all loneliness and depression, bringing to you roars of laughter. Giving to you joy without measure, to flow in His Love ! " I love to steal away To spend time in Your presence For in You I find.....there is a depth To walk in, to reach the height Of pleasure in You ! In a state of loneliness and depression I find in You rivers of joy....experiencing Roars of laughter igniting a passion So deep....only You, and You alone Can fill each void in me ! No, my heart cannot contain Your Love Alone, but must tell others about The depth of Your Love; that they too Will experience the abundant river Of Your Love, which You bestow On all who believe ! I love to steal away To spend time in Your presence. For in You I find there is depth to walk, To reach the height of pleasure in You; To see You face to face.....my all in all !

TEN THINGS GOD WON 'T ASK ON THAT DAY: BY BASISE VAN DER BERG

.1.... God won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation. 2... God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home. 3.... God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped to clothe. 4... God won't ask what your highest salary was. He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it 5.... God won't ask what your job title was. He'll ask if you gave Him a 10th of your salary. 6... God won't ask how many friends you had. He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend. 7.... God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors. 8... God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character .9.... God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation. He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell. 10... God won't have to ask how many people you forwarded this to, He already knows your decision.

THE LOVE OF THE FATHER...FOR THE SON: ADDED BY PROPHETESS MOTHER JOYCE BENNETT

"The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." (John 3:35). The Gospel of John, in a special sense, emphasizes the love in the divine Trinity of the heavenly Father for the Son. The words "love" and "Father" and "Son" occur more in this book than in any other book of the Bible, and there are at least eight references to this love in Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gospel. The first is in our text above,

revealing that the Father has entrusted the care of the whole creation to the Son whom He loves. He has also shown Him everything in creation: "For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth" (John 5:20). The Father also loved the Son because of His willingness to die for lost sinners. "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again." (John 10:17). Then in the upper room, as Christ prayed to His Father, it was revealed that this divine love had existed in eternity, and therefore must be both the root and the measure of all forms of true love ever since. "Father . . . thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world" (John 17:24). Parental love, marital love, filial love, love of country--all types of genuine love--are derived ultimately from this eternal love of the Father for the Son. And it is this love that can also be in us, if we will have it. "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you. . . . If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love." (John 15:9-10). It was thus He prayed (and still prays) for us: "That the world may know that thou . . . hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. . . . And . . . that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them" (John 17:23, 26). God sent His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, into the world so that each of God's children would have the possibility of returning to live in His presence after they die. Only through the Savior’s Resurrection and Atonement can we obtain immortality and eternal life in our Heavenly Father’s presence. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Under the direction of your Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ created the earth. (John 1:10; Hebrews 1:1–2). Through His Resurrection, Jesus Christ overcame death for you. Everyone, the righteous and wicked alike, will receive the gift of resurrection. When life on this earth is over, Jesus Christ will serve as the final Judge. ( Acts 17:31; John 5:21–22; Acts 10:42). Heavenly Father loves you and wants you to return to live with Him when you die. This is only possible through the Savior Jesus Christ ( John 14:6).

Through the Atonement...performed by Jesus Christ with His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and by His suffering and the voluntary surrender of His life on the cross. He saves you from your sins as you sincerely repent and follow Him. ( 1 Peter 2:21) . Jesus Christ lived a perfect life while on the earth, approximately 2,000 years ago. Leading by example, He taught how to pray and how to humbly serve others, and He demonstrated the manner in which all should be baptized. If you follow His example as closely as possible, you will not only find joy in your life, but you will someday return to live with Him and your Father in Heaven. Specifically, you are to: Have faith in Him ( Mark 11:22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;24). Repent of your sins ( Acts 2:38). Receive baptism ( John 3:3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6), the gift of the Holy Ghost, and the other ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Keep His commandments ( John 14:15). Today, as in the days of Jesus Christ, there are certain principles of the gospel that people are to learn to obey. The First principles and ordinances of the Gospel are:...! First, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Second, repentance. Third, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins. Fourth, laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus Died For You And Me...And I Want To Thank Him, For Loving And Saving Us...Thank You Father God, For Giving Us Your Only Beloved Son...Jesus Christ...! Jesus...prays...while...the*disciples sleep. We...have...seen...that...Jesus had...many...difficulties...to...deal with...at...this...time. Both he and the*disciples were probably very tired by the time of the last supper...that is, Jesus' last meal with his *disciples. We see this when we read about the behaviour of the *disciples in Gethsemane. They were actually very tired. They had no more energy at all. Jesus fell down on the ground and prayed. He was suffering very much. He really desired his friends to stay awake with him at this time. It was the hardest time for him. But the *disciples could not stay awake. They slept on the ground. Jesus had done so much more than they had done. He was probably even more tired than them. But his hardest time of all was still to come. Jesus suffers greatly...! Jesus suffered very much in Gethsemane (Mark 14:50, Luke 22:54-62). Luke tells us that *drops of blood fell from Jesus' body. This was a crisis for Jesus. Jesus had always obeyed God his Father. And Jesus still wanted to obey God. But now this meant the *cross with its great pain and shame. But, for Jesus, the *cross was not merely a place of pain and death. Jesus was perfect; he never *sinned. But on the *cross, Jesus would have to take, on himself, the *sin of the world. He would have wanted to avoid this especially, but he could not. Here is his prayer: Matthew 26:39. 'My Father, if it is possible, do not let this happen. However, I want to do the things that you desire. I choose not to do the things that I desire.'

But there was no other way. The *cross was the only way that God could forgive our *sin. Jesus was the only one who could pay for all our *sin. Only Jesus could give us the power to live like Him...! JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD...! In the beginning was Jesus ( The Word), and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God. Jesus was with God in the beginning. (John 1:1-2) There are Three who were present in the beginning: The Father, Jesus The Son, and The Holy Spirit; and These Three are One God. (1 John 5:7) Jesus created the heavens and the earth. (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2) Jesus always obeyed God The Father, even to the death on the cross. (Philippians 2:8) Jesus died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose again, the third day as prophesied and recorded in the Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) After Jesus rose from the dead,

many people saw Him, touched Him, and talked with Him. Jesus was seen by more than five hundred of His followers at the same time. (1 Corinthians 15:5-8) They watched as Jesus ascended back into heaven. (Acts 1:9) Jesus promised to return and take all who believe in Him to heaven. There they will enjoy their new perfect bodies, and will be with the Lord forever. John 14:1-3; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;and 1 Corinthians 15...!

Desperate: JEFF GODSOWN

How desperate are you? We have heard all kinds of wonderful outtakes, regarding the woman with the issue of blood for twelve years, so one more canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt. Mat 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. Mat 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. Mar 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, Mar 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

Mar 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. Mar 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. Mar 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. Mar 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? Mar 5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? Mar 5:32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. Mar 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. Mar 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Luk 8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Luk 8:44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

Luk 8:45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? Luk 8:46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. Luk 8:47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. Luk 8:48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. If we seriously study out the times, we will find that this woman was breaking the law of the Jews by being in public in her current state of health. We will also find, she spent all of her money with doctors, who couldn’t do diddly squat for her, but had no problem taking her money. Her disease represents every tough thing we go through and don’t know how to handle because man can’t do what God is able to do. Mar 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. So I return to my question; how desperate are you for God and the things of God? It is when we become desperate enough for the things of God, to meet our needs and we don’t care the cost, that God will shine through, show off in the faith we place in Him.

The woman with the issue of blood didn’t have a Bible to read, nor a Torah that told of the miracles of Jesus, to learn of Him. What she did have was what she had heard. Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Today, we have the Bible, the Holy Word of God and commands that tell us to read daily renewing our minds, and study to show ourselves approved unto God. This, combined with good experiences in God, build our faith, and our strength to stand in faith, based on knowledge in God. When we don’t get what’s going on, God told us to get understanding and wisdom, both of which He offers to us freely at our asking, seeking and knocking, without shaming us, as man does in ignorance. How desperate are you, how much are you looking for a move of God in your life or maybe the life of another? How willing are you to become extremely intimate with God, through His Word, through communion or prayer, and through worshiping Him in Spirit and Truth? How much do you desire your freedom from anything that seeks to keep you bound? How desperate are you? It is my hope that this will set a fire in your spirit and a hunger and thirst in your soul, for God enough to go after Him from a desperate heart. Those who will, will begin to see differences in their lives, from deliverances, to healings, to freedom from false teachings and men who would seek to suck you dry for your money and your life.

May you be blessed, may you in desperation cry out to God for His justice and judgment, and may you be able to from your experiences, set others free!

MY SHEPHERDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PSALM 23 : CATHERIN SKINNER

1The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. And my God will meet all my needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; "Come to me all, you who are weary and burden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

3 He restores my soul. When my mind, will and emotions are in trouble, He leads me in right paths for his name's sake. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Psalms 32:8

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5 I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staffâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; they comfort me. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Isaiah 54:17

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; He leads me into a banquet room and looks at me with love. Song of Solomon 2:4 You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Now it is God who makes both me and you stand firm in Christ. He anoints us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 Corinthians 1:21

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long. Inspired by the Word of God Reflections shared by Catherin Skinner

In Examining Relationships-- I Ask You-- : BY ANGEL FULKERSON

if the only time we speak it is when you yell at me or complain; are we in relationship if the only time we speak it is when you want something of me; are we in relationship if the only time we speak it is when you is in gatherings where you want to look good and make me look bad; are we in relationship

if the only time we speak it is when I give you your way; are we in relationship if we rarely speak yet you complain of me to others often; are we in relationship if the only time we speak it is when you introduce me to others or invite me to something you are doing because it makes your guest list look good; are we in relationship if the only time we speak it is when you invite me to be a part of your life and what you are doing; are we in relationship if the only time we speak it is when you have words of praise to speak to or of me; are we in relationship if the only time we speak it is when you want to bless me with a part of you or something you have or are doing; are we in relationship if the when we speak it is when you want to share intimately with me and know I want to share in return, both of us with listening ears and open hearts, are we in relationship if the only time we speak it is when you want to share intimately with me in hopes t know me better to use me or use information against me later; are we in relationship if the only time we speak it is when you are happy; are we in relationship if the only time we speak it is when you are unhappy; are we in relationship yes! Yes! YES! All of these (and more) are relationships at various degrees and all of them can grow to become better relationships! They are workable!

But if I turn my back on YOU and never speak of YOU or to YOU again... if I walk away from the direction YOU are and never speak to YOU again... THERE IS SILENCE! Do you realize that SIN is just this. Sin is where we turn our back to God giving him the silent treatment in any given situation where we choose our way above His way. Draw near to God and He will draw near to YOU. Our relationships with people reveal our relationship with God...draw near to them and they will draw near to you... May YOU be blessed beyond measure with whatever it is YOU are doing towards the one person you have the hardest time in relationship with for surely if we do good with them, our relationship with God will flourish. As YOU are obedient to God, may He fill you to overflowing in YOUR relationship with Him and others. God Bless YOU. ---------Love in Jesus Angel

God Inhabits His Temple! ADDED BY SUSAN C. CLARK

[2 Chronicles 6:18-21] But will God really live on earth among people? Why, even the highest heavens cannot contain you. How much less this Temple I have built! Nevertheless, listen to my prayer and my plea, O LORD my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is making to you. May you watch over this Temple day and night, this place where you have said you would put your name. May you always hear the prayers I make toward this place. May you hear the humble and earnest requests from me and your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear us from Heaven where you live, and when you hear, forgive. God made humanity in His image and desired fellowship with those whom He created for ever-increasing intimacy. Remember, you are made in God's image, and when you identify with Him as not only God the Creator and Lord through Jesus Christ our Savior, you must now comprehend He is Abba Father, literally living within us. Consequently, every Believer ought to now realize they are the very "Tabernacle of Meeting" with our Lord and our Abba Father!

Since we are indeed not only humans but grow daily as His Spirit-beings who can thus fellowship with Father in Spirit and in truth, we actually are the "Temple of the Lord." In the time of the physical Tabernacle of Meeting, the Israelites depended upon the top leaders to bring this meeting information back and mediate God's relationship to them, but today we have a true Mediator with Jesus Christ to go straight into the Holy of Holies by the Blood of the Lamb! Exodus 33:11 Inside the Tent of Meeting [tabernacle], the LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend... As the Lord chose Moses to be our early covenant predecessor who mediated intimacy from God for His people, our Lord completed this after Jesus Christ became the "exchange payment" as our perfect atoning sacrifice. Now we can go straight to God and know Him as Abba Father! In the early days, before Jesus Christ was God's priceless payment for our opportunity of restored relationship, they only could build tents of meeting and tabernacles to offer a meeting place. However, today, our God, who must become each Believer's individual Father, meets with us in our human tabernacle "person to person" as the very "treasure chests of the Lord." We are the "temples of the Holy Spirit," the actual vessels of God, and indeed His "offspring." You are heirs in a royal family that will know God deeper as you desire this "Father-child" relationship.

1 Corinthians 6:19 Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself... Temple in this Scripture is naos, which is used to describe the sacred temple at Jerusalem, yet even more, this naos is the word consisting of the Holy place and the Holy of Holies (in classical Greek it is used of the sanctuary or cell of the temple, where the image of gold was placed which is distinguished from the whole enclosure). You are the very "treasure in the field of great price"! Once you accept the Lord as your Father, then you will know God in a very personal relationship, which offers a deeper intimacy that others will desire. All who dare to accept and pursue this "treasure chest of royalty" will walk in an authority and depth one has always desired, with a security that cancels all former insecurities which cried out for God to be your Father! We are so much more effective as His children as we live and move and have our beings totally submerged in God as our Big Loving Dad!

THE CALL: BY BISHOP STEVEN LIBERTY SR.

Can you honestly admit to your congregation about where you were before the call of the Lord came? What if you were a prostitute, a demon worshipper, a gangster, a killer, a thief, or something worse? Are you afraid they would use it against you; so you always tell them that during your own youth you were the perfect model of a Christian youth? Why lie? Know today that it is alright to speak the truth about your pass. Where were you when you received your first call from God to come and work in His Vineyard? What motivated you? Can you clearly remember the events leading up to the period when you received your first call? How did you react to the fact that you were called by God to be set aside for the work of a servant in the vineyard? Did you understand the truth about the call and all its implications? Did you experience a physical or spiritual difference after your call? Did you expect your journey to be one of smoothness, with God on your side ready to smooth every rough pat? What did you think previously about those who were working in the Vineyard? Did you expect them to be blameless and without sin? Did you high expectations about the new life you were about to enter; one without sin?

“Then said I, Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of host. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my month, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me”. (Isaiah 6:5-7) “Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying; Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child. But the Lord said unto me, say not, I am a child; for thou shall go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shall speak. Be not afraid of their faces; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. Then the Lord put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build and to plant”.( Jer.1:4-10) One thing I want you to understand perfectly is the fact that it is God who call Shepherds and anoint them for the task He has for them; even before they were born. God call comes at a time when we least expect it; not regarding age or physical handicap. It comes to anyone God has chosen even those you consider to be hopeless sinners, drug addicts, prostitutes, etc. Many people have the notion that God only choose and work with the cream of society; the best in behaviour, the best student etc,. I want you to know today that it s a total lie; God works with those He choose and ordained for His purpose. This might surprise you a little but among the best preachers of our days are the formers/repented street gang leaders, drug addicts, prostitutes, criminals of our day.. These repented sinners were as surprise as you are right now and never dream about becoming a worker in the vineyard of God.

Others were call when they thought they were too young; yet others when they thought that their physical handicap was a factor for people to pity them and not to follow them as leaders. When they first received the call they were as astonished as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Rehab, Jacob, Moses, Samuel, and even the “Father of Faith”; Abraham. Their first reaction was that of fear and fright because they knew that they were unworthy for such task. Some believe that it was not true and the brave ones venture to ask God, others their masters, while yet others just obey blindly; leaving their fate to God. The reaction is normal if you experienced it during your own call. Both great and small of those truly called by God reacted in one way or the other. Both Moses and Jeremiah complain about having one speech impediment or the other. Samuel ran to asked Eli; while Rehab and Abraham follow as instructed( Rehab out of fear ,while Abraham out of curiosity and a sense of freshness and a new beginning; after a life of idolatry, in his new faith. For all of those who are called by God to carry out His purpose in life; one thing is clear, they had to be cleansed and remoulded because they came from a sinful and unclean life and were being set side for Holy purpose. Where you were before God call you? Today on satellite, internet, in various churches re billions of Bishops, Ministers, Pastors, apostles, Evangelist, Prophetess, Prophets, and you can name the rest of us; who claimed to be called God. The fact is there are millions of fakes among the true Shepherds; criminals of various types, instruments of the devil doing business for material gain in the name of God. The painful fact is most of the internet crime, exploitation, fornication, cheating, lying, and sins are now committed by men and women claiming to be called vessels of God. Many around the world are confused because the wolves and sheep are dress alike (and the wolves that are in the majority are setting the standard for today’s Christianity. On face Book for example; many of the pastors claiming to be in charge of refugee camps where there are boys and girls from ex-politicians homes, with secrets of large amounts of money, minerals etc. are cyber criminals.

Many of them use the pictures and identities of other people. There are others who claimed to be miracle workers and can healed you of your illness, make you prospers, help you maintain your job etc. I want you to know that these crooks were not called by God and are not worthy of you. But Bishop, I am confused here; How can we identified the true from false, because you say there is a tin line between the two? When God truly calls a person to be a vessel for His purpose; it is not by their bank account that you can know them, the amount of children they have, the size of their churches, their impact in the relief giving world, preaching or teaching on satellite, their theological degrees, but He touches them in a special way that cleanse them and change their lives to produce the type of fruits that re from His Kingdom. In the cases of both Isaiah and Jeremiah; their lips were touch. From that movement what came out was God own words. T he Bible describes it like this: “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in His holy place? He that has clean hands and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, and sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation” (Ps.24:3-5). Does your Shepherd fit this qualification? Is your Shepherd hands clean when it comes to the message he/she preaches/teaches? Is he/her hands clean when it comes to money matters, women in the church, dispensation of justice and truth, not chasing/exploiting to gain things of this world/vanity above righteousness, or swearing in the name of God about things that are non-existent? Or is Shepherd is producing contrary fruits? The Apostle Paul caution us with these words: “Now the work of the flesh re manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, revelling and such like: of the which I tell you before, s I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God”. (Gal.5:19=-26) Be frank with yourself and check your Shepherd by this list.

He/She might have lost the way and trough your help they can come back to the original purpose of their call. From my last check I found out that 99.9 percent of the Churches have long ago lost the right track and are producing these fruits and encouraging their flocks to produce them. They hail them in their sermons, they practice them in their everyday lives and those who excel in them re made leaders in the churches today. If you are actually called by God , you will only produce sanctified fruits because; when God calls person he touch their lives in such a special that their lives produces only fruits of righteousness. The Prophet Jeremiah puts it this way : “And I will give Pastors(Shepherds)according to my heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding”.(Jer.3:15) Yes they are selected even before their births and sanctified according to God’s own plan even before they are send out to deliver any message. Why? Because there will be storms to face, heat from the devil’s furnace to brave, trials and temptations, accusations and persecutions. The Prophet Jeremiah describes it better than I could ever do in these words: “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green, and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit”. (Jer. 17: 7-8). The Lord prepares those he calls so that during the heat of life they will not fall. Now how were they prepared before their called? Let’s take Father Abraham for an example. He was not called until he had left his home, faced famine, had to go into exile, had to lie to the King of a pagan land, submit to his wife decision and have a child by his maid, attempted to sacrifice his son; before his mission was pronounced. It was his final test; because from that day onwards he graduated and earned the title Faith of Faith on earth and Father of nations in Heaven. All that time; forty years Moses was in the palace of Pharaoh, he was been train for a future battle; forty years caring for sheep in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, he was been train to Shepherd men , before he was finally called for his life mission by God.

Joseph was denied and sold, thrown into prison where he graduated to the called of his life mission. What about you? Were you truly called by the Lord? Were you sanctified by the Lord? Is your life proving it? If you were actually called by the Lord; no one would have to look far. Your light will shine because you will bear fruits of the Spirit. The Apostle Paul puts it this way: (your life will produce)”….love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance….and they that are Christ have crucified the flesh with the affections and lust. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another”.(Gal5:22-26) You will bear only fruits of righteousness in the evil world that you have been send to as n ambassador for God. You see if your life is as you were called by God produce; the Prophet Isaiah says:”He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from the holding of brides, that stopped his ears from hearing of blood, and shutted his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given to him; his waters shall be sure. Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is very far off”.(Is.33:15-17) The Prophet Daniel added his voice to the argument with these words: “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever”. (Dan12:3) The Prophet Malachi also urge us with these words: “But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings”(Mal.3:3) ; and the Prophet Hosea stated: “Sow to yourself in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you”(Hos. 10:12). Good fruits follow Shepherds who are called and sanctified by God and they hold fast during the time of storm and do not bow to the temptations of Satan for material gain.

I want conclude with these words from these men of God for those Shepherds who realized that they have gone astray and have been listed in the Kingdom of God as wicked: “If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had robbed, walk in the statues of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not did”(Ezek. 33:15) Those lies and exploitations will surely catch up with you one day. It is only right that you keep these words in mind day and night: “Be not deceived; God is not mock: for whatever a man soweth, that he shall also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh rep corruption; but he that soweth to his spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting”. (Gal.6:22) “For if man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself”. (Gal.6:3)

A CRY MADE AT MIDNIGHT: JOEL MCNABB

“And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.” (Mt 25:6) In my life time, I have heard the parable of the Midnight Cry preached and talked about many times, from time to time I heard it said that we were in the day of the Midnight Cry. Like in the story of the boy who cried wolf, we seem to pass it off as just another cry and go about their business as usual, saying, “we have heard it said before, remember 2000?” It came, went and life went on. But as in the story of the boy and the wolf, the wolf finally came. The outcome was not very good to those that had gotten complacent; neither will it be if we remain complacent about the coming of the Bridegroom, our Lord. Many have taught that Jesus can come before morning and we cannot know the time of his appearing; I wonder how Mt. 25 fits into this belief. Jesus spoke in parables many times to the people that came to hear him, his disciples questioned why. His response was, “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given” (Mt 13:10-17). The parables were not just stories so that we, or even children, might understand a simple moral philosophy. He spoke these parables to hide God’s work from the beginning, because he set the world in their hearts, that they would not understand the kingdom of God. (Ecc.3:11) Those that followed him, he took aside and gave the explanation, so they would know what his Father was doing in the kingdom. Mt. 25:1-13 is just that, a parable of what shall happen in the kingdom of heaven.

The kingdom of heaven, in this parable, is not the kingdom in heaven, but the kingdom that starts with repentance, the message that John the Baptist, Jesus, and His disciples all preached. “Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.” The first step in seeing the kingdom of God is repentance, which allows you to come out of the world. “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ” (Jn. 3:3) Each step of faith leads us closer to seeing the plan of God for man, from the Beginning to our day right here at the end of the age. The Pharisees demanded of Jesus when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them and said, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Lk. 17:20) He was not speaking to born again saints, but to those Jews of his day steeped in the law mingled with their own doctrines, of which Jesus warned his disciples to beware. (Mt. 16:6) They were the kingdom of God till Jesus died, which annulled the covenant God had with them. (Heb. 7:1-4; Heb. 9:15-17) Now by the blood of Jesus, God is able to marry those that bring forth the fruits of the kingdom. (Mt. 21:43) Most believers talk about the bride and marriage of the Lamb, but are they the bride or like the ten that Jesus used in this parable? Jesus is coming back, there will be a marriage, and not all will be the bride. There will be bridesmaids, guests and one dove (the bride), one undefiled. In the parable of the ten virgins (not sinners) had gotten the born again experience and were on the way of holiness to meet the bridegroom. They took with them lamps, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Ps, 119:105) Each had taken the word of God with them, five wise and five foolish, ALL. Jesus tells us that the foolish didn’t take oil in their lamps; the implication is the wise did. Why would oil make a difference? Some have called the oil the Holy Ghost, which gives me a little difficulty with the way that Paul described the Holy Ghost, and the experience the folk had on the day of Pentecost. “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit”; “For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day” (Eph. 5:18, Acts 2:15). The oil has to be something else. What is the purpose of putting oil in a lamp? Is it not to cause the lamp to give light, to make us see and understand? Light reveals what is in darkness, and what is hidden.

It is the revelation of knowledge in God’s word. “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2Cor.4) When someone comes up with an idea, we say, ‘a light came on in our head’, we envision a cartoon person with a light bulb on top of their head. Someone who finally understands something, we say, ‘they saw the light’. The oil is the revelation of God’s word, which gives us light from faith to faith. All ten virgins were on their way to meet the Lord, but as the parable says, “the bridegroom tarried”. It has been 2000 years since our Lord ascended to the right hand of the throne of God, and still we are waiting. It is hard to imagine that believers would be sleeping when it is time for Jesus to come back, but this parable reveals they are asleep. The time has been long, we go about our lives like Jesus said it would be like in the days of Noah. We have been told that Jesus is coming back ever since he left, some have gone on to their reward, while others have seen their children’s children have children, still we wait. The year 2000 came and went, there was great awareness that this might be the day of His return, but it also passed, He did not return. I hear the words of Peter, “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming?” (2Pet. 3:4-4), and still we wait. When Noah preached he had scoffers too. Lot also, his sons in law thought he was crazy, when he warned them of Sodom’s destruction. In both cases these men were warned of coming doom and knowing it was coming, they made the cry to save as many as they could. In Noah’s day, there were those that were disobedient to the word of God sent to them by His messenger. All thought it was too crazy to happen. they may have seen like we see in cities around the world, people carrying signs saying, “The End Is Near”. We see these people and think to ourselves these are just kooks, someone with too much time on their hand. We pass it off, and go on about living our lives, going to church thinking it is just another day and all is the same.

We are told by the prophet Habakkuk, the vision is coming, not right away, but at the end it will come and it will speak and not lie: it would take some time, but we should wait for it to come to pass; because without a doubt it would come, and when it does it will not take long. (Hab. 2:3) When Jesus said, “the harvest is the end of the world”, he was not saying that the world was going to be destroyed. The earth has to remain if Jesus is to rule and reign on the throne of David in the form of man, which is the promise to David. When the heaven and earth shall pass away, is the day and hour that no man or angels knows, only the Father. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (MT. 24:34-39) Christians today go about carelessly, saying no one knows or can when Jesus is coming back, in their churches sleeping. It is as if there is a law being preached today, if anyone says they know when Jesus is coming, they are condemned. The same way the Jews of Jesus’ day condemned him with the law they made; “The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.” (Jn. 19:7) So when Jesus came saying, he was the Son of God, they put him to death, because they had a law. In this parable, there is a cry made at midnight, “Behold the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him!” Evidently the one that is making the cry knew that the bridegroom was really coming this time. (this was not the boy crying wolf) Like Noah and Lot, who were prepared and knew from God when the trouble was coming, their candle had not gone out. The virtuous woman, “perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.” (Pr. 31:18) Knowing the times and the seasons, that day would not come on them as a thief. Jesus said, “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up (Mt. 24:42-51)”. This cry at midnight, like John the Baptist who was the voice in wilderness to prepare the way of our Lord’s first coming, will be made to wake up those believers that have become complacent to the coming of the Lord, lulled to sleep by

thinking that we do not have to know the times, just be saved and you will make it in. The Cry caused the wise and foolish to wake from their sleep; both began to search the Bible, trim their lamps. The foolish realized that their lamps had no light, and they had no oil to cause them to burn. They went to the wise and asked them to share their oil; the wise had just enough oil (revelation) for them, not enough to share with the foolish. The foolish were told, go to them that sell. This means there was somewhere out there where they could buy the truth. (Pr.23:23) On their return from finding oil they found the door shut, their lack of oil and foresight had left them behind and in the outer darkness. The Bridegroom came while they were chasing around to catch up on what they thought they did not have to know. The same happened to those that were comfortable with their way life was in Noah’s day. The rains came as God said, those that were near the ark could not get in for God had closed the door. In In Mat 25, the foolish came to the door, saying, “Lord, Lord, open to us”, the Lord replied, “Verily I say unto you, I know you not”. We did not hear him say, sorry I never knew you, only I know you not. We are known of God by how we know Him, and have searched His word. He is writing it all down keeping a record. (Mal.3:16-18) Paul tells us, ”to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” (Heb. 9:28) Jesus is not coming to save sinners this time, He is coming for a wedding. His bride kept their lamps burning throughout the night. The salvation message has been preached for 2000 years, it is time to open our eyes and hear the Cry. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: “let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. “(Joel 2:1-2) The believers of today are like Israel was in captivity and God sent Isaiah to wake them;

“ Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.” (Isa. 52:1-6) I admonish you today to open your eyes, “anoint thine eyes with eyeslave that thou mayest see”(Rev 3:18), Wipe the sleep from your eyes and have a look around you; are you truly ready for the bridegroom to come, are your lamps trimmed? There is still time, if you are wise and have oil in your lamps, to open your Bibles and learn. You may not feel the urgency and that you are living right before the Lord, but take this parable and apply it to yourself. Whether or not you believe we are living in the midnight hour, it is good to watch and pray so we will do not miss anything the Lord is doing. The Jews in Jesus day did not know the day of their visitation and were caught sleeping, at his birth and during his ministry. The wise men from the east saw the sign in the heavens, (the star that appeared at the birth of Jesus) and immediately they went out to meet the new born King of the Jews. The Bible is filled with pages of what the Lord has done and is going to do. It is not just about getting souls saved, if so we would not need such a large book. It all leads up to the event of Jesus’ coming back to earth and His Kingdom established here. God gave us his word and preserved it, so that we could learn and be ready for that glorious day. If we do not use what God has given and are not ready, we will be on the outside looking in. “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” (Rom. 13:11) May we find grace in the eyes of the Lord, and be found faithful to the word of God. The Lord bless you and give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, in the blessed name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy - Debra L. Roberts

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, where is my Daddy? I’ve searched for him my whole life. I saw other little girls with their Daddy’s laughing and having such a wonderful time but I never experienced that. I longed for that and felt like I was missing something. As I grew up, I unconsciously continued to search for the Father I never had in the face of every man I came in close contact with. They never filled that space in my heart that only was meant for my Daddy. My Mom had a Daddy who was so loving and kind and funny, he made everyone laugh and feel like they were the most important person in the whole wide world. He was my Granddaddy but I still longed for My Daddy! Two days ago I picked up a pen and wrote the words, I found my Daddy! The Spirit of adoption infiltrated my entire being and I called out and wept bitterly because for the first time in my 44 years of living on this planet I realized who My Daddy, My Abba Papa really is and the love, the pure love that He has for me and has always had for me became overwhelmingly real. I now know why I never had an earthly Daddy, because I wouldn’t and couldn’t appreciate with such intense gratitude my Heavenly Papa who has always resided deep within me. I love you Daddy and I pray all the other little girls who never had a Daddy will understand you are waiting patiently to take them by the hand and that you safely hold the key to their heart. Your words in Jeremiah are true and I thank you for showing them to me… “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

WHO IS JESUS CHRIST TO YOU; A MESSIAH, A SAVIOR, A COMMON CRIMMINAL WHO WAS BEATEN, WOUNDED, AND HUNG ON A CROSS FOR CRIMMINALS OF HIS DAY OR GOD SAVING YOU FROM YOUR SIN? Written by Bishop Steven Liberty Sr : ADDED BY EVANGELIST FAVOR P. LIBERTY

Knowing who Jesus Christ is to you means a whole lot to determining your behaviour towards God and you fellowmen. If you see Him as a tool to make money from, He can’t be a healer for your sickness; if you see Him as a criminal than you will follow Him as a criminal; but if you see him as Messiah and Saviour you will walk as one following a Messiah and Saviour. There are many claiming to follow Jesus today but which Jesus they follow is the big question here. Let’s together dive into this topic and see if we can properly define the word Christians in our world today; for it appears as if the original cord of Christianity have been broken along the route.

There a millions who claim the title of being a Christian; meaning that they are followers of Jesus Christ and believe in all He represent. However it is very sad to note that the vast majority of these do not know who really is a Christian and what it means to be called a Christian. If you ask them who is a Christian they will readily reply “followers of Jesus Christ” which is very laughable because they do not even know who Jesus Christ is and what it takes to follow him.

Each of them have their own little secret wish of which they want /believe Jesus Christ to be and how they walk with Him is according to what they believe about Him. Little do many know that the title was applied to a supposing Jewish criminal /fanatic that was hanged and nailed to a cross for breaking religious laws of His days? Those who identified with him after His death were persecuted, thrown to wild animals, chase out of their homes, imprisoned driven out of many communities. This little band of committed followers was bound together with a single but unbreakable cord. Christianity is not a title neither is it a name but a true life experience. Going to church, preaching, teaching about Christ does not make you a Christian Before finding out who can we classified as true Christians from pretenders; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s examine the life of Jesus Christ of Nazareth whom they claim to follow and see if we are really who we say we are; for the days are here when wolves, daughters and sons of darkness, witches and wizards, generations of fallen angels are parading themselves as children of light. Jesus Christ of Nazareth life History can most accurately be found in the Torah or Holy Bible which begins by tracing His genealogy back to the roots of Abraham; depending on who you believe Christ is to you, promised Messiah or Saviour There are lot of scriptures in the Holy Bible pointing to Jesus Christ as Messiah . Now for clarity of the matter; you must know that this issue of Jesus Christ of Nazareth being the promised Messiah brought a lot of confusion to many He encountered in His days; even His disciples, for they like many today expected the Messiah to usher in a reign of political revolutions, political liberations, and vast financial opportunities. To the disappointment of many (some which later realized the truth and was able to implement it; while majority fled or change His teachings to their advantage) ; His Messiahship had a wider range than their limited expectations. It is written: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.”( Psa. 93:1-5) “

And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.”(Matt 11:3-6) “He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matt. 16:15-16 ) “But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” “

Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel; And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.” (Lk. 2:28-32,38) “And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?”(Lk20:41-44) “He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”(John 1:41,45) “The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 2Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.” ( 4:25,26,29,42) His birth was prophesy long before his arrival by Servants of Yhwh (The Most Highest God) It is written : “And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Hag 2:7) Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. (Zech 3:8) Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. (Zech 9:9) “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.” (Zech 13:1) “

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.” (Mal 3:1-3) “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.” (Mal 4:2)

“

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” (Matt 1:20-23) “

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible ; And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. (Luke 1:26-37; 42-45) If you study the scriptures you will notice that it is written that before His birth an Angel called Gabriel appears to His virgin mother and the man who was to be her husband and revealed to them the special divine nature of this child. According to scriptures it meant the God was with us.

The question is Why did God have to come personally ? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.â&#x20AC;? (Matt.1:23) Did this great news mean peace or war or the beginning to the war that began with a rebellion in Heaven that led to many angels being flung out? He was born and circumcised in Bethlehem; however we must notice that Satan did not take his coming to earth lightly for he knew this meant trouble for him and his fallen angels who were polluting the earth with all manners of wickedness. The child could not find a human environment to be born. There was no room to be found in Bethlehem that night by that particular family. Strange because many others were arriving too and I am sure some found room that night. He was therefore born in the lowest of estates; among the animals in a manger and laid in a crib of straws of animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food. On the night of His birth angels are said to have appeared in the sky singing praises to God. More than one witness saw this event; shepherds guiding their sheep at night. Wow it must have been a marvellous sight. It is written that a special star appeared in the sky and three wise men followed it to where the child was born; bringing gifts and danger that caused them parents to flee with Him to Egypt for rescue. Wow! What a beginning for a young child. But that was not the end of the story because many had to weep and mourn because their children were slaughter in place of the child who had fled. I see no other way to explain this great contradiction to you than how it was done by a man whose work I love and believe is inspired. A Shepherd's Complaint

Once Herod realized that he had been deceived by the astrologers, he became furious. He ordered the massacre of all the boys two years old and under in Bethlehem and its environs. Matt 2:16 "Joyful news!" the angel said. "The Savior has been born at last!" But now with ashes on my head,

I weep and keep a mourner's fast. Herod too had heard the news; Men from eastern lands arrived. They sought the boy who'd rule the Jews, But Herod had a plan contrived: "Go find him, then report to me; And I will also give him praise." Return, oh angel! Come and see. Listen to the dirge we raise. Weeping, wailing, cries of grief! The blood of babies stains the ground. Parents groan in disbelief. Where's the savior to be found? Tell me what you came to bring, Dreadful angel of the Lord, Tidings of a newborn king, Or babies murdered by the sword? If Mary's child had been the One, He'd usher in the Savior's reign. He'd claim to be the Father's Son, In spite of Romeâ&#x201D;&#x20AC;in spite of pain!

Written by Paul Gerard Dextraze Copied from the book Forty Poems by Paul Gerard Dextraze All I have written here tells me that this child was born like Adam was created; among animals. He was very special and definitely had a Heavenly connection. He was born for a reason that would affect the entire earth but as we can see from the beginning; life was not going to be a bed of roses; Very early He became a refugee. Oh yes, He received a befitting gift for a King and at the same time a gift for anointment when death struck. A special bright star appear in the sky signifying that a new light brighter than any ever had enter our world. Yes it is a story of Contradictions, mysteries, happenings that it takes only wisdom from God to interpret and fully understand. Now the question that comes to mind is why Egypt? I believe it was to remind the world that the first redemption from Egypt and suffering was for a chosen Nation; but this refugee was going to redeem a chosen people of all nations. The red sea was going to flow from His veins and sin and darkness was going to drown in it and this time instead of the man Pharaoh; Satan army was going to be destroyed in it. Followers of Jesus Christ should be well prepared in advance for a wonderful, but sometimes very bitter experience. Yes you are walking with the royal, yet you are to be humble enough to know that your beginnings were in the manger with animals. You are always to be on the alert for the sweet and bitter because even though you have authority from Highest Heaven; you should always keep your eyes open for the dark side of death and persecutions; ready at all times to be driven from your settings to take refuge in another land because you are a threat to powers of darkness, principalities and strongholds of darkness. No my Dear; following Jesus Christ is not a flower base of ease.

"Shooting Stars" BY HEATHER ROBERTS

Genesis 1:1 says “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth.” People describe heaven as the most beautiful place any human could ever set foot on. Its indescribable qualities could never be fully expressed by anyone on Earth, because nothing compares to its greatness. God placed His hand on the very surface of Earth and beauty poured through His fingertips. While sin came into this creation and destroyed it over the years, it has not indeed touched the heavens. The heavens remain pure and clean like the first day God made the earth. Genesis 1:4 says, “And God saw the light that it was good, and He divided light from the darkness.” The sky, the stars, the planets, and the galaxies go on forever into infinity. This is also untouched by sin and it remains the way God intended it to be. The universe is held within His heart, and the sun represents the burning passion He has for us. Evil may have touched the Earth, but the problems, and the hardships we face are surrounded by a bigger picture. We are a small dot on the painting that goes beyond and forever of beauty. And yet, God still cradles us like a new born baby in his mother’s arms; despite how small we are. The stars are the sparkle in his eyes when he lovingly looks down at us when we pray and call out to him our deepest worries. The shooting stars and comets that fly speedily across the sky represent the quick forgiveness God has for us when we ask for repentance of our sins. The universe reflects so many aspects of our King. And those who choose to look up are those whose dreams do not simply remain dreams, but become reality. Heather Roberts 3/10/2012

Our lives are but a tapestry constructed by our Fathers hands. In which there are threads of happiness all a part of His plans. There are brightly colored threads of love and joy and peace. And darkly colored ones that we wish would just cease. Yet without the colors of anguish of loss and despair. There would be no need for His mercy that comes without compare. As the threads weave in and out, on the Masters loom of life We are gently being perfected in the midst of all the strife. We see things from below and He sees things from above With every knot and thread directed straight from His love. We do not know how it ends, or when the job is done. But we hold on to our Creators hands as He is the only One.

He is the author and perfecter of our faith through circumstance. There is no thread or knot nor anything thats left to chance. I do not know the picture that my life is to be Yet I hold on to the One that has done so much for me. Penned by: The Voice, as expressed through MG The author wants God to get all the glory and does not want a picture or his name used so the focus on Gods glory.

DAVID VS GOLIATH: CONSTRUCTIVE & DESTRUCTIVE CRITICISM!

"...Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, why camest thou down hither? And with whom has thou left those few sheep in the Wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle." (1 Samuel 17 vs 28). When David showed up at the scene of the battle.His elder brother Eliab raised issues that suggested that David had no place in the battle field. Eliab accused David of abandoning the few sheep in the wilderness. He accused David of being proud and naughty. Eliab talked down on David in the presence of the Soldiers. Eliab reduced David with his words. As far as Eliab was concerned. David was just an over-ambitious young man Who has an exaggerated picture of himself With no relevant skills to show for it. Friend, We are often surrounded by people who use what they know about us to discourage us. Granted, David was coming from the bush. His sheep could have been few. Should Eliab make it a subject in the presence of the other soldiers.

Eliab represents a set of people who love to draw attention to our misfortunes and imperfections, just to discredit us. These set of persons say things against us to stop us from being favoured. They say negative things against us to stop our shine. Sometimes, we meet opportunities and they announce our imperfections to make us loose out. If you find yourself behaving like one of the people in question Hear the word of the Lord to you, Yes you! Hear divine warning from the throne of the just Judge! Psalm 105:14-15 “He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, He reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm”. Should you refuse to heed His warning! You will have The Consuming Fire Himself to contend with. If you find yourself a subject of destructive criticism By men and women who are bent on destroying you! By agents of the devil posing as the angels of God! By wolves in sheep clothing who wanted to settle a score! Hear the word of the Lord to you, Yes you! Listen to God speaking about your defence and that of your children! In Isaiah 41:12 “Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought” Also in Isaiah 49:25But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

Beloved, this Year, Do not allow the criticisms of people stop you. Do not allow words people speak against you to deter your passion for progress. Do not hide in obscurity because of the things in your life that you are not proud of. Do not let the lies men tell about you become your reason for not moving forward. I dare to add, even if the words are true. The lawful victim of the mighty shall be delivered! Divine Justification is available for the guilty who ran under His cover of protection in repentance! Remember, while we are yet sinners He died for us! You are still a champion regardless of your weaknesses. Pray with me, "Lord, No Evil Report against me will stop me this Year"! You are Loved and Appreciated. My promise is to reply all mail (ASAP), Emmanuel=God with us

Inspired Shepherds come together monthly to write message etc for the community of God chosen. Every shepherd chosen, charged, and called by God (YHWH) to care for His flocks is officially a member. Shepherds serve as an ambassadors of the Kingdom of God , advocates for petitioning God for mankind, administrators for the handling and distributing the truth of God's Word and they need a watch tower on the hilltop to help them not to crash against the stones of temptations placed in their path by the Devil. This magazine is the shepherdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; consultant for wisdom and direction when it comes to how the work of the Kingdom of God is being carried out in different places around the world.

It is the voice for the united kingdom of God's body of workers in the vineyard here on earth. This magazine is the discussion leader of any topic concerning the kingdom of God and the warfare of God's people. Here you will see and post the work you do for the kingdom; however it should be clear that every work you see here is the responsibility/views of the writer who placed it there and not always necessarily the views of everyone. It is a medium to serve as an encourager for the shepherds around the world who are striving to get the truth of God's Word out even at a risk to their own families and lives. As a spotlight, we intend to also serve as a ground inspector of the work of every ministry we can and highlight their strengths and weaknesses. Shepherds, we say a big welcome to you and your flocks. Let this place be a companion and knowledge dispenser, a place where you can rest and discover your God given talents, your historian where you can view the past and log the present, the nurturer of your visions, your opportunities spotter, and critic.
