WELCOME TO THE CORRIDORS OF THE SHEPHERDS LIGHTHOUSE BUGLE MAGAZINE JUNE EDITION 2011: STEP IN AND YOU WILL GO OUT WITH A DIFFERENT VIEW OF LIFE ON EARTH & BEYOND!!!!!!!

The Shepherds Bugle is the voice of Shepherds Without Borders Lighthouse Ministries; which comes out once monthly to highlight messages, news, visions, projects, strength & weakness of the United Body of the Kingdom of God. 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 shepherds’ 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 also a confronter of the evil practices that are carried out in the name of the kingdom of God. It is no respecter of any particular doctrine, tradition, color, language, social status, or geographical locations. 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 yousee 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.

I know many times when you are in the wrong and we speak about it, you might be hurt, go home and pray about it, and please come for a second look. Partake and make this place a home away from home. Make this place a secret corner for airing your views and questions that have been bothering you for a long time. Please allow Shepherds Bugle to help you develop your ministries and broken lives.

“FATHER OF THE UNCOMPROMISING TRUTH OF GOD WORD 2011”

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN: BY KENNETH WHITE

n John ch 3, Nicodemus comes to talk to Jesus. Jesus made probably the most remarkable statement in the history of man when Jesus told Nicodemus "you must be born again in order to see the Kingdom of God".

Nicodemus was a religious man, esteemed by his peers and those in Jerusalem who saw him in the Temple. why did Jesus make such a statement to a religious man? Surely Nicodemus , being a religious man could play a part in God`s Kingdom just by being one of the religious lot in Jerusalem.

However, this is not the case with Nicodemus. He did not understand the statement Jesus made because he did not have spiritual eyes and ears to understand this statement. Is there something outward he could do to enter the Kingdom? No, of course not. The Kingdom is to be understood only by those who are `born again`.

I want to tell you a parable. Laying in the shade outside my home is an aging black retriever named Chief. One day I told Chief to hop up in my Chevy PU and I would teach him to drive. All he did was look at me funny and kept laying in the shade. Well, I grabbed Chief and helped him into my truck and fastened him in the drivers seat. I sat next to him and told him to start the engine so we could take a little ride. He just sat there, looking puzzled probably at my strange beharior, and he did nothing.

After a short time, it dawned on me that Chief`s paws weren`t capable of holding the steering wheel, neither were his legs capable to work the gas and brake pedals. Chief needed a human body, with a human mind to understand what I was trying to get him to do.

He needed to be born again with a human body and intellect to comprehend anything I was saying. He could see me, he could smell. hear, touch, and taste like I could but he could not survive in a human world with a dog`s body and instincts. So he is born again, and now has a human body. However, he is born an infant and is incapable of doing anything except sucking a bottle and crying when he needs changing.

He has to grow many years before he is of age and competant to drive a car.

He has to learn all there is about driving a car before I will give him the keys and tell him to start the engine. I have to wait with him as he grows until that day when he is mature enough, we will take our ride with him driving.

In a sense, this is what Jesus was telling Nicodemus about seeing and entering the Kingdom. as Chief could not understand me, neither could Nicodemus understand the words of Jesus.

"You must be born again" we`ve been told all our lives, but many of us thought if we answered the invitation, went to the alter, confessed our sins to the preacher, and then was baptized into that church, then we were told we were born again. The problem is, we mentally ascented to the will of the preacher and our own consious so we would be sure to make it to heaven. This is not the new birth.

"You must be born or the water and the Spirit" Jesus often said in his dealings with people. Some say being born of the water is water baptism, and that may be true to some, but I feel it has to do with the being cleansed by the Word of God from all of our former thoughts and teachings about Jesus and knowing Jesus by the Spirit. Being born of the Spirit simply put is as recorded in the Book of Acts numerous times. And you can`t choose the time for your new birth. You must be drawn by the Spirit, or it won`t work. "No man can come to me except the Spirit draw him" said Jesus. So you see, this takes it out of your hands and all into the hands of Jesus Christ who is the Holy Spirit as well. This is his Kingdom, and right now in this age of what some have called the church, and the age of grace, Jesus has been gathering the `firstfruits of a great harvest` by drawing you by his Spirit and working in you to bring you to this day where you will be the "firstfruits" in His Kingdom, and lead a great harvest with your newfound maturity in Christ...

The Ultimate Cost of the Making of an Apostle BY DR. LEONARD ROBINSON

The cost of apostleship is not mere Bible knowledge alone. Knowledge puffs up. Nor is the cost of apostleship your history in the faith and church work or personal sacrifice. The true cost of apostleship is death to your own will, your own desires, and a discovery of the central message of Jesus. For those who would be genuine apostles, Jesus trained them as disciples, to learn from Him the Kingdom of God and of heaven, and to discover their own kingdom citizenship and authority with power as the sons of God. What do you really know about the Kingdom of God? Until you embrace and understand the central message of Jesus, the revelation of the Kingdom of God, you cannot walk in the full representation of your apostleship. This is the hour that the Father is exposing those who say they are apostles when in actuality they are not. He is bringing to light those who have engaged in self-deception seeking status, desiring to have the preeminence. The Father is exposing those who have gotten caught up in the under current of religion and have been seduced and swept away by a heretical religious system. Take heart, God still gives more grace to the humble. If the call of apostleship is genuinely on your life know then that in all that you've come to know in religion, tradition and deception you are to count as dung for the cause of Christ. Know that it is the Father's desire that you would rediscover the Kingdom through His Son Jesus.

The Father takes the greatest message in the world, the Kingdom of God, and makes it that you have to learn it from the greatest teacher in the world, Jesus. Receive the instruction of the Master. Become as a child again, that the Kingdom of God, what it is here and now, and that which you will reign from again in the end, will become your number one priority. The commandment Jesus gave the disciples who one day would be called apostles is this: Matthew 6:33, Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Are you an apostle?

The instruction Jesus gave to them then is the same instruction He gives to you now. Seek the Kingdom of God by studying the Kingdom. Reacquaint yourself with Jesus and His message of the Kingdom. Go back and capture that which had been missing. Experience the life transforming power of the Kingdom of God as you make the shift. Watch the Father transition you out of religion, tradition and deception, and reposition you in an understanding of the right now revelation of the Kingdom and your own Kingdom citizenship and authority with power. Pay the ultimate price for apostleship. Be willing to die to your own self-interest and rediscover the Kingdom.

A CLOSER WALK WITH JESUS! BY PASTOR EMMANUEL BABA ISIAKA

JESUS IS MORE THAN A COURSE! THE GREATEST THING IN ALL MY LIFE IS KNOWING HIM: I WANT TO KNOW HIM MORE: KNOWING HIM IS LIFE ETERNAL! MEMORY VERSE: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." (Matt 11:29).

BIBLE READING: Philippians 3:7-11 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 Âś And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

If you are a friend of the Bridegroom, you will hear His voice. There is hardly a time you stay close to somebody without engaging in some discussion. And if you stay longer with the fellow, you will likely get to know one or two of his or her secrets, either through jokes or straight talks.

There is no way you will stay close to Jesus without learning something most useful about Him. In Matthew 11:29, Jesus asks us to learn of Him. His personality, life and times are more than a subject or course of study like Christology. If you can keep His company, you will surely learn from Him. There are several things you can learn from Him. You can adopt His habits in exchange for your bad habits.

You can learn from His wisdom in tackling sensitive issues that were brought to Him. You can learn from His total submission to His Father's will.

You can learn from His complete dependence on the Holy Spirit in order to succeed in life and ministry. You can learn what gave Him joy, and what caused Him sorrow.

You can learn from His attitude to the government and civic responsibilities.

What of His relations with His enemies? That is another area to learn from.

You can learn from His attitude towards ministry. How did He select His 12 disciples whom He later named apostles?

You can learn from His tears.

You can learn from His industry.

You can learn from His eating pattern and habits.

You can learn from His attitude to rest.

What of His divinity?

That is another great course on its own! Your ability to succeed in life and ministry depends on the closeness you share with Jesus Christ and how much you are able to learn from Him. Paul's goal in life was to study Jesus and learn from Him as much as possible. No wonder the miraculous became common place in his life and ministry!

How close are you to the Lord? Or are you still keeping your distance from Him? If you keep a distance from the Bible, church gatherings and personal fellowship with Him, you may never be relevant in God's end-time plan. What have you learnt so far?

THE FATHERâ€&#x;S BLESSING: I pray for you today that you will have a closer walk with Jesus. You will love what He loves and hates what He hates. Before you take a decision or make a choice, you will ask yourself what would Jesus do in such occasion in the mighty name of Jesus .(Amen).

PRAYER ACTION FOR TODAY: Father teach me life lessons and help me to adopt what I am taught and the wisdom to apply what

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT SEASON YOU ARE IN?" BY MARY BOLDEN

THE WORD OF GOD SAYS IN ECCLESIASTES...... "THERE IS A SEASON FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON EARTH. AND THE OMNISCIENT ONE HAS A REASON FOR ALL THINGS THAT OCCUR, ALSO. HE MAKES NO MISTAKES. HE KNOWS ALL THINGS AND WHEN IT SHALL HAPPEN , FOR HE IS THE ONE WHO OWNS AND ORCHESTRATES TIME. HE IS ETERNITY! HE SITS HIGH AND HE LOOKS DOWN LOW, BEHOLDING THE EVIL AND THE HOLY IN EVERY PLACE. HE IS EL ROI...THE GOD OF VISION. SO WHY DOESN HE ALLOW SO MUCH EVIL IN THE LAND TO GO ON , YOU MIGHT BE ASKING? WELL, WHO ARE YOU OR ME TO QUESTION HIS AUTHORITY AND HIS POWER? HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND HE HAS KNOWN YOURS AND MY ENDING SINCE THE BEGINNING. THE QUESTION IS...DO YOU KNOW WHAT SEASON YOU ARE LIVING IN? TO PUT IT IN SIMPLE ENGLISH....DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS? OR ARE YOU ONE WHO PROCRASTINATES AND PUTS OFF TOMORROW FOR DOING WHAT YOU KNOW NEEDS TO BE DONE TODAY? ARE YOU AN EXCUSE MAKER AND WANT TO HIDE BEHIND ONE EXCUSE AFTER ANOTHER AS TO WHY YOU CAN'T SEEM TO GET ON THE JOB THAT EVEN GOD ALMIGHTY HAS ASSIGNED YOU TO? I'M NOT TALKING ONLY ABOUT THE JOB FOR MAN THAT YOU HAVE, BUT THE CALLING THAT THE LORD GOD PLACED ON YOU EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE IN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB. THE WORD OF GOD TEACHES THAT THE GIFTS AND THE CALLING OF GOD ARE WITHOUT REPENTANCE. THAT SIMPLY MEANS THAT THERE'S NO EXCUSE THAT WILL GET YOU OUT OF WHAT GOD CREATED YOU TO DO DOWN HERE ON EARTH. SO MANY MEN TRY TO HIDE AND SOME ARE RUNNING FROM PLACE TO PLACE DOING THEIR OWN THING AND

SETTING ASIDE WHAT GOD WOULD HAVE THEM DOING. AND YET, GOD IS SO PATIENT, MERCIFUL , LOVING , KIND , AND COMPASSIONATE THAT HE WILL ALLOW US ALL THE TIME HE SEES FIT TO FINALLY REACH A TURNING POINT (A TIME OF REPENTANCE) , WHEREAS YOU FINALLY REALIZE THAT YOU NEED TO COME BACK TO WHAT HE HAS CREATED YOU FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE NATURAL LIFE SEASONS ARE WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL. BUT, SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING, SOME DON'T KNOW WHAT SEASON THEY ARE IN. YOU MAY BE ONE WHO IS NOT SURE BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN IN A SEASON OF SUCH COLDNESS ALL AROUND YOU (FAMILY, FRIENDS) THAT NO LOVE HAS BEEN SHOWN YOU AND YOU FEEL LIKE IT MUST BE STILL WINTER. BUT, IT MAY BE FALL AND ABOUT TO CHANGE TO SPRING . YOU SEE, THE SPIRITUAL SEASONS DON'T COME AT THE SAME TIME OF THE NATURAL SEASONS. THERE MAY BE BACK TO BACK SUMMER SEASONS WHEREAS EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL. SOMEONE MAY HAVE JUST GRADUATED AND ANOTHER MAKING PLANS TO GET MARRIED, ETC. YOU MAY BE ABOUT TO BUY A NEW HOUSE, ETC. SO EVERYTHING IS JUST "PEACHES". SO THAT LETS YOU KNOW IT IS SUMMER BECAUSE LIKE UNTO THE NATURAL TIME OF SUMMER, IT IS USUALLY WHEN ALL THESE TYPE THINGS HAPPEN. SPRING IS WHEN FLOWERS BLOSSOM AND THE SUN SHINES A LOT. AND THERE IS ALSO RAIN TO FALL SO THAT THE TREES, BRANCHES, AND FLOWERS CAN ALL GROW. SO , WE LOOK FOR THE RAIN TO FALL AND THE SUN TO SHINE. WE DON'T GET UPSET ABOUT IT (IN THE NATURAL) SO , WHY IS IT THAT WE GET UPSET SOMETIMES WHEN IT RAINS (SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING) A FEW PROBLEMS COME OUR WAY, BECAUSE THE LORD WANTS TO HELP US GROW? IS IT BECAUSE WE EXPECT IT TO BE ALL ROSES WITHOUT ANY THORNS? DO WE THINK THAT WE ARE SO GOOD THAT NOTHING BAD OR SAD CAN COME OUR WAY? OR SHOULD WE NOT BE THANKFUL AND COUNT OUR BLESSINGS WHETHER IT RAINS OR WHETHER THE SUN SHINES? WE'RE TOO EASILY SPOILED SOMETIMES. BUT, THAT'S CHILDISHNESS. THAT'S THE REASON THE LORD HAS TO ALLOW US TO GO THROUGH SOME TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS SO THAT WE CAN "GROW UP" !

WHEN FALL COMES IN THE NATURAL, SOME OF US CAN APPRECIATE SEEING THE LEAVES CHANGE COLORS AND THEN THEY FALL TO THE GROUND. WELL, LET'S BE HONEST THOUGH, HOW MANY LOOK FORWARD TO RAKING ALL THOSE LEAVES UP? WE'D RATHER JUST ADMIRE THE BEAUTIFUL LEAVES AS LONG AS THEY ARE ON THE LIMBS WHERE THEY BELONG WE SAY. (SMILE) . AH , COME ON NOW, YOU KNOW I'M TELLING THE TRUTH. MOST PEOPLE (IF THEY CAN AFFORD IT) WILL HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THE RAKING OF THE LEAVES. NEVERTHELESS, IN THE "SPIRITUAL FALL" , WE

MUST WATCH OUR CHILDREN GROWING UP AND SOMETIMES FALL AWAY FROM WHAT WE HAVE TAUGHT THEM. AND ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE TEEN AGERS, THEY SOMETIMES REBEL AND TURN AND WALK AWAY AND GET THEMSELVES INTO SOME KIND OF TROUBLE. THEN, WE ARE REMINDED OF OUR MISTAKES WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER, ALSO. AND EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T WANT TO ADMIT IT TO OUR CHILDREN, WE MUST ADMIT IT TO OURSELVES AND TO GOD , OUR FATHER.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS GETTING TO RECOGNIZE WHAT SEASON YOU ARE IN AND ACCEPTANCE OF WHAT MAY HAVE TO COME OUR WAY IF IT IS THE SEASON OF FALL OR WINTER. JUST AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE SPRING AND SUMMER WHEN ALL IS WELL, WE NEED TO APPRECIATE KNOWING THAT THE FATHER KNOWS BEST AND HE WON'T PUT ON US ANY MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE. HE LOVES US EVEN FAR MORE THAN OUR EARTHLY PARENTS DO . AND WHEN THEY USED TO CHASTISE US (OR SOME CALLED IT A "WHIPPING"), WE THOUGHT AT THAT MOMENT THEY HATED US....BUT, THEY WOULD GENTLY TELL US AFTER THEY SPANK OR WHIPPED US , THAT IT WAS BECAUSE THEY LOVED US. WELL, I DON'T MIND TELLING YOU THAT I GREW UP IN THE ERR OF WHIPPINGS WHENEVER I DID WRONG. MY DAD WAS A STRICT DISCIPLINARIAN AND WE KNEW WHEN HE TOLD US SOMETHING TO DO, WE HAD BETTER OBEY AND PROMPTLY! OTHERWISE, WE KNEW WHAT WAS TO FOLLOW. SO , FOR THE MOST PART, I OBEYED BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE GETTING WHIPPINGS. NEVERTHELESS, I NEVER THOUGHT MY DAD HATED US.....EVEN THOUGH IT "SMARTED" AT THE TIME.....I FELT LOVED AFTERWARDS. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL CHASTEN US IN ORDER THAT WE GET THINGS RIGHT IN OUR THINKING AS WELL AS OUR ACTIONS. HE DOES IT ONLY BECAUSE HE LOVES US. THE WORD OF GOD TELLS US THAT IF WE ARE CHASTENED, COUNT OURSELVES AS A SON, BECAUSE HE CHASTENS ONLY HIS SONS. OTHERWISE, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER YOURSELF A "BASTARD.'" (para.) THAT MEANS YOU WERE FORMED OUT OF WEDLOCK IN THE NATURAL AND IN THE SPIRITUAL, AS WELL. SO , WE NEED TO APPRECIATE IT WHEN HE CHASTISES US BECAUSE HE LOVES US AND WANTS US TO STAY ON THE STRAIT AND THE NARROW ROAD THAT LEADS TO ETERNITY WITH HIM. OTHERWISE, WIDE IS THE GATE THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION. THA'T'S THE 'SO-CALLED "POPULAR WAY" OF THE WORLD.

INTO EACH LIFESOME RAIN MUST FALL AND THEN THE SUN WILL SHINE AFTER AWHILE. WE SHOULD APPRECIATE BOTH THE RAIN, AS WELL AS THE SUN. WE SHOULD THANK GOD FOR HIM WISDOM THAT KNOWS AND KNEW SINCE THE BEGINNING WHAT WE WOULD NEED IN LIFE. WITHOUT HIM THERE IS NO LIFE, FOR JESUS IS THE WAY , THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE AND NO MAN CAN COME UNTO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM. WE NEED TO HONOR AND ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS SOVEREIGN LORD, AS WELL AS SAVIOR. AND JUST ALWAYS BEAR IN MIND THAT HE'S IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS HERE ON EARTH AS WELL AS IN HEAVEN! HE REIGNS AND HE "ROCKS" SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION! ONE LAST THING I WANT TO LEAVE WITH YOU, SAINTS OF GOD IS......AS LONG AS YOU HAVE PLANTED YOUR SEEDS IN THE WINTER AND FALL MONTHS......SPRIING AND SUMMER SHALL BRING FORTH A GREAT HARVEST! AND IF YOU LOOK BACK AND GET A GLIMPSE OF YOUR WINTER AND FALL MONTHS...YOU WILL BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAD TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER THAT YOU COULD BE BROUGHT INTO THE SEASON OF SPRING AND SUMMER. GOD BLESS YOU ALL WITH A GREAT HARVEST !!!

“(En)Titled to Pride” BY JEFF GODSOWN

I wish to apologize up front, this message is for the teaching of all, but not for the correction and or conviction of all. I have witnessed how easy it is for people, especially church leaders to get caught up in the same pride as satan, when titles are bestowed on them, by men. Somehow, just like satan, they start off good, but sooner or later they end up caught in foolish pride, a pride so deep that they cannot and will not receive a word of correction from God through the Prophet or person God chooses to bring forth the message. Titles can change a person, if pride is not kept in check and has always been an unseen obstacle, then a title can turn into entitlement. Jam 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: In our entitled attitude, we soon forgo the whole truth of God‟s Word, forsaking simple truths from God‟s Word. 1Co 13:4 Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy; is not boastful; is not conceited; 1Co 13:5 does not act improperly; is not selfish; is not provoked; does not keep a record of wrongs; 1Co 13:6 finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; 1Co 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1Co 13:8 Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for languages, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.

Let us pay just a little closer attention to; 1Cor 13:5 love is not easily provoked, I recently watched a preacher tell his congregation that if anybody tried to bring a word of correction forth, that he would shut it down. He gave 1 Cor. 14 as his guideline, specifically; 1Co 14:3 But the person who prophesies speaks to people for edification, encouragement, and consolation.

He said; when Christ said it is finished, that ended the need for correction, chastisement, or discipline, here we have a problem as this verse is in the King

James, improperly translated. In the Hebrew Bible, it says this: 1Co 14:3 However, the one speaking forth divrei nevu'ah (words of prophecy) speaks to Bnei Adam for chizzuk (strengthening) and musar encouragement and nechamah (comfort). The word musar is translated from the Hebrew as; chastening, chastisement, correction, discipline, instruction, moral discipline, teaching with an ethical point If what this Pastor said is true the why are there more verses containing chastisement in the new testament: Heb 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Heb 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

Heb 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Heb 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

There are many verses both in the King James and the Hebrew Bible that talk about the chastening of God, that we might be transformed into the sons of God. We need to pray for our leaders in the church, our Apostles, Prophets, Preachers, Teachers, and Evangelists, that their eyes and ears remain open to God and the things of God, but more importantly that their hearts are open to the things of God. We need to pray that our leaders do not get caught up in the arrogant ignorance of titles, even to the point of reminding them: Phi 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Phi 2:4 Look not every man on his

own things, but every man also on the things of others. Phi 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Phi 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Phi 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Phi 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Remember, leaders are important and set up by God‟s governmental design, but also remember, leaders are human and they are not the only ones subject to God‟s command to pray for one another. If your leader has somehow someway offended you, forgive them and move on. I did not say move out, if something is wrong in the church, pray, pray hard, pray fasting and believe God will answer. I have found myself doing a lot of weeping as of late, the Father showed me how much we have hurt His heart in growing weary and not continuing to do the good things He called us to do. He wants to commune with us but we haven‟t taken time with Him and how can He convey His heart, His love, His Spirit and His truth with us if we don‟t take time with Him. God the Father also showed me, there are those who despite the hurt, the beat downs, and the sessions of shame placed on them by others, love with His divine love. Inspite of the pain, their concern is for those around them who have lost their way, because they got caught up in titles and fluffy words. Now, the question comes to mind, do you love this much, do you want to love this much, and are you willing to suffer, like Christ suffered in His love for us? If that‟s you and the desire of your heart, tell God, ask Him to strengthen you and give you the courage to face the pain and tears, and help you to lay your life down, pick up your cross and do and e like Jesus. If you ask believing, God will see you through, you will experience a greater love, forgiveness will come easily, but most of all, you will see God working. In all things, be patient; with others, with yourself, and with God and you too will taste the loving goodness of God. God bless you, this is part of your journey.

"CHRISTIANITY: BY GOD AND FOR GOD":By John Grace

Our desire, as newborn Christians, ought to be conformity to the will and purpose of God. We ought to feel compelled to immerse the entirety of our being into seeing this come to full fruition. When we speak of Christianity primarily in terms that center in our needs being met and our desires being fulfilled, we speak amiss. Christianity, at its very core, is about God, and what He requires. All things were created by God and for God (cf. Romans 11:36; Revelation 4:11). We have been redeemed from the guilt and punishment of sin, and delivered to His righteousness. Our very redemption has a purpose rooted and established in God Himself: "In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory" (Ephesians 1:11-12). We belong to God. We were bought with the price of His holy Blood (cf. I Corinthians 6:20; I Peter 1:18-19; 2:9). We have been renewed and given the Holy Spirit so that we might serve God and give Him the glory that's due His holy name. We were purchased to be a people representative of God to the world at large. He told us this when He selected

Israel to be His delegates (Exodus 19:3-6). They were chosen also because before they could be His witnesses to the world at large, they themselves had to know that He was indeed God of gods (Isaiah 43:10). This very same task has been given to Christians (cf. Acts 1:8; II Corinthians 5:18-20). Christianity is all about glorifying God and making Him known as He is to all the earth. This is central to the faith. His will, His desire, His goal. He has a plan which was formulated long before creation, and He has chosen us, in love, to be a part of it. We have been predestined to carry out His plan; chosen in love to partake in the glory of displaying His glory! One day soon, Jesus is returning. He is returning to receive His rightful glory. Moreover, He is coming to be glorified in His chosen people (II Thessalonians 1:10). He will, on that day, reveal His infinite wisdom to the entire universe, to every principality and power, the wonder of His glory in taking rebellious sinners and, through the Blood of His Cross and the subsequent work of the Spirit, transforming them into new creations, fully remade into the image of Christ. He would have a people that not only represent Him, but resemble Him! Because of this awesome reality to come, we are then, as His chosen people, obligated by faith to live in accordance with His will and desire. This is why He urges us to be led of the Spirit, and to put to death the deeds of the flesh (cf. Romans 8:1-12; Galatians 6:7-8; Colossians 3:1-17; Ephesians 4, etc...). We have been delivered from that self-serving lifestyle; that man-centered state of being; and have been made partakers of His divine nature, giving us all that we need to fulfill His call on us (II Peter 1:3-4). Beloved, let us then separate ourselves from every activity, every line of thinking, and every practice that would keep us from achieving God's intended end. Let's dedicate the entirety of our beings, fully devote ourselves to pleasing God and showing forth His glory. Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh, and perfect holiness in the fear of God (II Corinthians 7:1), and let's prove our love and gratitude to God by obeying His commandments. Indeed, for this is the whole duty of man (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Do not define Christianity, or live it in such a way that our needs and desires being met by God are primary. This is a false assumption and a crumbling foundation of sand. Instead, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you" (Matthew 6:33). Blessings will come to us, but our primary goal is to satisfy the desire of the Lord; to conform ourselves to His will and predestined plan. As we do this, He will work everything else out.

"Trust and obey, for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey".

May the Lord give you insight into these things, according to His Spirit of wisdom and revelation. All so that the entirety of your life may be to the praise of His glory and grace. Blessings to you in our Lord Jesus, beloved!

Operation Global Emergency Prayer : BY ELDER PAMELA R RICHARDS

Across the globe, "sites of emergency” are being declared, and more often than we are comfortable with hearing. It‟s as though the foundation of the earth is opening up right before our eyes. What are we to do in all of this peril that we are witnessing? Are you thinking like I thought and say, "the catastrophic events are imminent, so what choice do we have in the matter?”(See Matt. 24:7) There is a choice that we, as Kingdom citizens will always have, which is prayer. Given all of the myriad, and sudden catastrophic events, Operation Global Emergency Prayer has been initiated.

What is Operation Global Emergency Prayer? Operation Global Emergency Prayer is a 21-day initiative, which was mandated by GOD, to address the growing global concerns through prayer. During this 21-day prayer, intercessors globally are connecting to petition the throne to stand against global warming issues, and any other issue causing all of the many violent tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. The Global Emergency Prayer warriors are grouped together to pray separately for each of the seven continents for any of the national cries within each continent. Intercessors are connecting by email, Facebook, and prayer lines in order to keep their prayers for each continent on one accord.

Thus far, we have heard of documented cases of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the countries of Chile, and New Zealand. We praise GOD, as there were no reports of any deaths, and the damage did not appear to be

significant. We are petitioning GOD as it concerns the weather issues, that there be minimal to no loss. We are asking GOD to take the strength from any tornado, earthquake, hurricane, twister, tsunami, or mudslide that is forming.

We understand that though they may form, that they would pass over the areas in hopes that someone that does not know Christ would have an opportunity to confess Him as their Lord and Savior before something of this magnitude occurs. We are committed to praying for souls, and for destiny fulfillment for His people. We are aggressively praying for restoration of all of those oppressed throughout our world, and asking GOD to keep His chosen leaders strong. We believe through prayer, that violence against children, and that world hunger would end. See articles: http://uk.ibtimes.com/articles/155695/20110601/chile-earthquake-2011magnitude-6-4-quake-shakes-pacific-coast.htm http://earthquake-report.com/2011/06/05/series-of-moderate-earthquakes-inchile-argintina-lake-district-may-set-off-the-eruption-of-puyehue-cordoncaulle-volcanoes/ http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/06/06/aftershock-rocks-quake-hit-newzealand-city-christchurch/ We are updating our website daily with growing global concerns, as well as documented praise reports for areas covered in prayer. Through this initiative, we have had many of our intercessors acknowledge that they were not as mindful concerning most remote places throughout the world. This has been a learning experience for all parties involved. We are eager to learn as much as we can concerning the issues that are prevalent within each continent. We are sitting and looking at our globes and world maps as students being taught geography all over again. It has been so wonderful to connect with the intercessors participating around the globe.

Which areas are the intercessors represented by? The intercessors are located in the following areas: Atlanta, Georgia, Mobile, Alabama, Maryland, California, Oregon, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Ghana, Senegal, & Egypt. There are currently thirty intercessors assisting with this mission.

When did the initiative begin, and when will it end? Operation Global Emergency Prayer commenced on May 29, 2011, and will conclude on June 19, 2011 at midnight.

We desire that each of you reading this article be willing to continue to petition GOD for the impossible. As long as GOD sits on His throne, what seems impossible to us will always remain possible to Him! Stay involved great people of destiny and GOD bless you one and all!

YOU ARE A KING, NO LESS!!!! YOU CAN BE ENTHRONED: BY JOSEPH KING

And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors’. But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is the greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.

For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet am among you as the One who serves. But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials. And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me. Luke 22:25-28

Surrounded and overwhelmed, Arthur sensed fear and panic running through his ranks. Most of the men had been fighting with him in the jungles for almost all of their adult life. They had believed his quest for the throne of England.

They believed that it rightfully belonged to him. And their offense at the cruel measures of injustice meted out by Arthur’s uncle, who so betrayed his brother by usurping the throne, had kept them in a solid resolve to restore the throne to its rightful heir.

And yet, in spite of their radical conviction, the popular appeal of their leader, or even the continuous mount of offense that prevailed throughout the kingdom in protest to Arthur’s uncle, the odds of ever ascending the throne were seemingly insurmountable.

His uncle had joined hands with his mother and brothers and all of the other provincial princes, most of whom were too scared to contend his will. Further more, he had sealed an alliance with all neighboring kingdoms so that all of them not only recognized his leadership but also had sent troops to strengthen his fight against Arthur.

Arthur’s options narrowed every passing day as more and more people feared to suffer the uncle’s reprisals for the support they lent him.

So, locked in the forests of northern England, outflanked in military might and strength, and with fear running through the camp, Arthur departed to a solitary place to remember the only encouragement he’d valued all his life: Alone and still resolute, he remembered how often his father tutored him thus, "Arthur, never quit; never fear; never doubt your abilities in battle. Always master courage and believe in your cause, knowing that even when defeat is near and seemingly clear, victory is still possible.”

These words echoed deep inside, welling up strength and hope. Returning to his weak, embattled and tired troops, he marshaled his top commanders urging that everyone be assembled before him. Looking at them with renewed vigor, he affirmed the possibilities of his enthronement. He predicted that contrary to their circumstance, it was the enemy that was losing ground. He reasoned to them how his uncle’s continuously increasing tyranny was the obvious consequence of his increasing weakness.

He dared them to push more, fight more, and believe more, citing that the glory of England lay in their hands.

And in those words with which his troops had become accustomed, he finished his rousing speech urging, "YES WE CAN!!!!”

THE SUBJECT:

The rally was a sterling success with dramatic effect on the men.

Simultaneously and roundly motivated, a surge of voices was released as all the men, teary eyed, lifted chin, and straightened shoulders hollered, "YES WE CAN!!!” All of them firmly revived to the glorious prospect when England would see the dawn of the bright day when Arthur, the renegade warrior, the people‟s prince, would be enthroned as her king. Once again it was possible to envisage the day when the tortured subjects of this great nation would live as kings under their true and great king.

The days of defeat must be firmly buried in your past. Victory is not for some exclusive category of men. That was never God‟s intention. All men were created equal; all were made to suit HIS royal entity. This means that inherent in every man is the potential for leadership. Every man can be enthroned. And every man includes YOU!

When God created man, the position HE envisaged him to be was that of king.

Man was created to have power and authority, dominion over all creation:

Then God said, "LET Us make man in Our image and likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every living thing that moves on the earth. Genesis 1:26

Man was conceived in the mind of God with royalty as his mandate. And as God reigns in heaven above, HE intended man to reign on the earth below.

And as there was a kingdom of heaven with HIM on the throne, God intended there to be a kingdom of earth with man on the throne.

Nothing on earth was ever supposed to overwhelm man. Neither was there any man that was ever supposed to be victim or inferior to any other man. It was the intention of God that all men conform to the royalty of Christ from whom all were made, just as it was HIS intention that all men be above all else.

For your information, this privilege is unique to man; it is peculiar to his specie. No other being does God consider in such esteemed regard; not even the mighty angels of heaven.

When Lucifer, the former arch-angel in-charge of worship, sought royalty, he paid with defeat, expulsion from heaven, and awaits further judgment when he will forever be banished in the lake of sulphur. Only man is mandated to reign as God does, and betterstill, to eventually reign with God.

I am certain that the mocking voice of darkness would like to intimidate you from any such prospect. The usual temptation of disadvantage in this regard is that royalty is an exclusive preserve for certain talented categories of esteemed individuals, or as in traditional kingdoms, reserved for those with the famed „blue‟ blood.

That is a clear lie, a blunt deceit that Satan has woven through the episodes of fallen man‟s history where through time some men have been perceived to be or, have asserted themselves, way over and above others.

Not so with God. In HIS glorious and compassionate mind, HE upholds all men to be equal, all are incredible, all capable of royalty, and none inherently inferior:

Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one. Job 36:5

In HIS scheme of things, there is no man incapable of glory, no man damned to slavery. All men are equal and are destined for leadership, all are gifted with power and authority, and all are able to provide answers for all men.

This is the lesson we are to observe in the scriptures when we see God‟s choices of leaders. HE consistently seemed to choose men that were ordinarily not perceived as being capable to lead. In many instances, HE seemed to have picked men that doubted their own abilities to govern, men that underestimated themselves.

Consider the account of a young man called Saul: Here was a man that had resigned to domestic work, looking after his father‟s livestock. On the particular day that his father‟s horses had run away and he was sent to look

for them, he occasions the prophet Samuel who anoints him to be the first king of Israel.

Observe Saul‟s response to this possibility:

And Saul answered and said, "Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin?

Why then do you speak like this to me? 1 Samuel 9:21

Here was a man looking for runaway livestock and on the course of his search he finds a prophet that declares him to be king. In his own opinion, it was way out of his league.

And it wasn‟t only Saul who doubted his capabilities as a leader and therefore the prospect of being enthroned king of Israel, so did others. There were some who thought Israel deserved better:

And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” So all the people shouted and said, "Long live the king!”

……But some rebels said, "How can this man save us?” So they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace. 1 Samuel 10:24, 27

And yet, in spite of Saul‟s doubts and those who despised him, God had counted him to be king. In HIS omniscient wisdom where all truth lies, HE knew the royal abilities that Saul would master regardless of the opinions of men.

What is more is that God knew that all men can be king. Any of them could govern over Israel which in any case he had originally intended to be a nation of kings:

Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Exodus 19:5

The entire nation was intended to be a collection of kings and priests just as God had intended that all men from Adam were to be a people of kings and priests, a specie of royal-divine privilege.

As such, this identity is the true identity of humankind; we are a royal-divine specie. This is the witness that Christ came to shed light to. When Pilate queried his claim to royalty he affirmed something that bears glorious implication to all men:

Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?�

Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king.

For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice. John 19:37

The truth HE came to bear witness to goes beyond who HE was; it extends to who we are, or more specifically, who we ought to be. As the reigning king eternal, the everlasting King of kings, HE came that HE may complete the structure of HIS authority. And that structure is incomplete without men awakening to their royal-divine status.

Who HE is, is insufficient without who we are. HIS Kingdom is a dominion of royalty- HE is King of kings; not King of subjects. That is why at some point when the Jews sought to crown HIM king, he declined: Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.

John 6:15

Although HE had been born King of the Jews, the everlasting One whose reign should only increase and never end, HE was conscious that the people that sought to enthrone HIM had overlooked the required structure of authority HE ought to preside. As Messiah, HE can only be King of kings. HE cannot be Lord of subjects. As long as they perceived themselves as inferior beings, HE could not be their king.

This is the eternal truth that HE seeks to this day in the hearts of all men. It is also the Fatherâ€&#x;s good pleasure. Brethren, above all else the Father seeks that you are lifted together with Christ reigning in glory: God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7 Can you receive such wonderful grace?

What a glorious intention. It is too good and yet true. This is Godâ€&#x;s eternal grand gesture to humankind: From eternity past through all time, till all eternity ahead, God intends that all men awaken to the riches of HIS incredibly rich mercies. HIS desire for all men is to enthrone them so that they reign with HIS Son over all power forever and ever. Matter of fact, this is the only kingdom that has no end. Every other pretense at authority will cease and be substituted by this divine will of God.

This is what fellowship with Jesus is a lot about; it climaxes to the realities of reigning eternal with HIM. And for clarity, this type of authority is way beyond the league of secular or carnal dominion. Reigning with Christ is over and above every other form of authority. The one that assumes the authority of divinity wields power in heaven and on earth, he functions according to the Melchizedek Order, which is the highest level of authority (Hebrews 7).

A significant reference is made to the extent to which this authority supersedes any other authority when Christ assures the Roman governor, Pilate, as to why he seemed to have an edge over him:

Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have the power to crucify You, and power to release You?” Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against Me unless it has been given to you from above.” John 19:10, 11

In this context, we witness Christ placing carnal authority beneath divine authority.

Whereas, Pilate had presumed that he held the life of Jesus in his hands, he was ignorant regarding the fact that Jesus was laying down HIS life and that no one could take it from HIM. Further still, the very exercise of Pilate‟s authority was occasioned by the permission of divine authority.

Beloved, fear not, it is Godâ€&#x;s intention to enthrone you. The reference must be made again for emphasis- ponder on this immortal truth:

Do not fear, little flock, for it is the Fatherâ€&#x;s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32

And not just to make you king, but to enable you reign with HIM. HE earnestly desires that you reign over heaven and earth. It does not matter the odds against you or whatever background you have. HIS will for you is to assume divine authority. God wants to place you above all principality, over all power, over all authority, even the one that seeks to destroy you:

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19

When we say that we are Christians, that we are Godâ€&#x;s children, do we realize how much power and authority we wield?

May be you are not a believer in Christ or you are and have been ignorant of your divine heritage and royal predisposition. This book is in your hands to let you know that you can be enthroned on the highest order of authority there is in all of eternity. That privilege awaits your faith in Christ and your activation of the power HE indwells in you.

From henceforth, receive what God has so graciously given. Refuse to be a victim and awaken to your privilege. You are a son of God, a brother and comrade to the King of kings, a king and priest according to the highest order of authority, the Melchizedek order.

So straighten your shoulders, lift your head, as you meditate on your omnipotent privilege. Refuse to be a victim and appreciate your eternal victory in Christ. HE has lifted you where you belong. Heaven is your domain, the earth your operational ground, and hell and all its hosts, your victim:

Whatever you bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven. Whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mathew

Activate your divine-royalty and begin to bind and loose, to permit and prohibit, to allow and to refuse. What this privilege means is that heaven is waiting for your command, and so are the forces of darkness. All principalities and powers are obliged at your behest.

My dear, shun any and every temptation of disadvantage that seeks to make you a subject of fate and of every whim of darkness. You do not belong there.

Arise to your glory which the LORD has bestowed upon you, and shine.

Shine your power, shine your wisdom, shine your mercy, shine your kindness, shine your justice, shine your prosperity, shine, shine, shine, and shine.

And as you do, as you awaken to your enthronement, I see you blessing your family, nation, and generation, even many nations and many generations.

Your lordship is unique in a perverted world driven by greed. Unlike the rulers of this age who pillage and loot those they govern, I see you exercise increase for others. I see you lend to nations, bind the broken hearted, set captives free, introduce others to their own enthronement.

The apostle Peter captured well the glorious uniqueness of your leadership when celebrating it, he said:

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9

That is who you are: Enthroned and unique, different and special. You are a royal-priesthood, a privileged part of Godâ€&#x;s holy nation on the earth. Vested in you is the mandate to establish the will of God on earth as it is in heaven. You live in this earthly realm to convert it into a heavenly experience for as many as you can. Unlike mortal leaders who convert their domains into an earthly hell, yours is a mandate to bless the nations, even those who curse you.

Men shall be the better because of your mandate. Lives will thrive because of the exercise of your mandate. Your leadership is a refreshing experience for many suffering the damnation of a wicked system run by evil men:

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29:2

Consequently, wickedness will vanish at the behest of your authority. As you hold the scepter of righteousness, light will spring forth illuminating the riches of the glory of heaven. Literally all round you, wherever you go, lives will be positively transformed because of your leadership.

You are the blessing in the city, the blessing in the countryside. You are the light in your world, the salt of all men. The world requires your counsel and all creation awaits your wisdom. My friend, kings and princes, priests and wise men, people from far and near are coming to your light if you will awaken to this mandate.

So as you venture further into the details of this dominion, I pray that you remember me in your kingdom.

Stop Running Away From God's Calling On Your Life! By Melinda Dee Perrodin, MBA

The first reason some people avoid God‟s calling is because they do not want to give up their lifestyle or job to follow God. He wants you to deny yourself and take up the cross and follow him daily (Matthew 16:24). When you continue to run away from God‟s calling it hurts God. The word of God states that "when you do not take his cross and follow after him you are not worthy of him” (Matthew 10:38).

Some people also run away from God‟s calling because they feel so unworthy!

God is not concerned with your past because all He wants is a humble and obedient heart. God uses imperfect people to fulfill his purpose on Earth.

Moses was used by God even though he murdered a man but God still used him to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. David committed adultery but God never removed him as a king.

The last reason people run away from God‟s calling is because they are too fearful. Jonah was given instruction by God to go and preach the gospel to the people of Nineveh. Jonah feared going to Nineveh because he was afraid of the people. He refused to obey God and he fled to Tarshish. Jonah‟s disobedience led to a storm occurring in his life. When you do not follow the will of God, it will bring disorder in your life.

God will not let you have peace in your life until you do his will. Jonah did not find peace until he repented to God and he went to Nineveh to preach the gospel. God wants you to stop running from your calling. He will not call you without preparing you for your calling. All God wants you to do is to submit to him and to serve him with a humble and obedient heart. Your obedience to God will lead to blessings for your life. "If you obey God, you shall eat the good of the land� (Isaiah 1:19).

THE PUZZLE OF LIFE! BY LINDA FAWKES

The older I get the more I realise the LESS I know and how varied and unique God is. He works in ways that cannot always be grasped by the Human mind but He ALWAYS has our best interests at heart - for He is our Loving Father who will never hurt us.

Life is like a puzzle. I have found over the years so many things happening in my life that I never dreamt would happen. Some things very tragic. I am glad I don't have hindsight because it may have stopped me from doing what I have done and I wouldn't be the person I am today. I have always found God's Grace HAS been sufficient for me - whatever I have had to face.

Every day I wake up with a piece of jigsaw in my hand and it can look strange and uncertain. I don't know where it fits in the JIGSAW OF MY LIFE - but God already has the FULL picture - and if I ask Him to guide me - He will help me to put them into the right place - so in the end the final picture is God's Masterpiece.

We are not meant to trust in our own understanding but in the Lord's Wisdom for He knows best and is the perfect Artist!

Life is also like a train journey. We begin our journey when we are born and at each stop something different is encountered. It is an unpredictable journey and we never know what the next stop holds - but we have to continue on this journey of life until we reach the final destination - HEAVEN.

Every stop is a learning curve. Trials that will test us - so that as we move on down the line - we will grow stronger as Christians to face the bigger hurdles at the next stop. God will never send anything our way that we can't handle - but He HAS to allow things to come to us so we can GROW and realise what our faith is like.

Life is like a set of doors. We enter through one door and encounter different experiences and then God closes that one and leads us through another which can be totally beyond our understanding. We may want to go backwards and enter the last door because we don't like the place we are in - but we cannot go back - for God has closed that door and we must always move on forwards - trusting in His love for us as a Loving Father.

This article may seem negative. But for me it is reality. I have gone through childhood abuse, anorexia, bulimia, severe depression, deaths of loved ones, seen my own family go through illnesses that medically speaking cannot be treated. My own family through the generations have had epilepsy, schizoprenia, have been and ARE self-cutters, have suicidal tendencies, anorexia/ bulimia , alcoholics and gamblers.

But I praise God for everything and wouldn't want to change ANYTHING for He has blessed me so much with His love, strength and Grace. He has opened my mind and heart to the suffering of others and I feel quite comfortable talking to anyone. Because I have experienced pain and suffering and STILL see this around me in my own family I have grown more and more dependant on the Lord and less on myself and anyone else.

Life is so uncertain and we are so fragile and vunerable. No one but God can save us and strengthen us to go on our journey of life. The trials have made me stronger - my love for Jesus deeper - as He has always been faithful !

In their darkness and suffering many of my family turned to the Lord and He came to them. Because of their suffering they cried out for strength and He helped them. If they had not encountered sorrows and hardships - maybe they wouldn't have seen the need and instead gone into eternity without Him - which would have been tragic. But though they still suffer in various ways they are now Christians and the Lord helps them to carry on.

Our sufferings are for a short while - Eternity is forever. They know one day God will wipe away all tears and suffering will cease - and this gives them hope and strength to persevere. God is ALWAYS able to help us in our need so we can keep running to finish the race.

Some people have happy and care-free lives and don't understand the meaning of depression or why people can cut themselves. They are fortunate. Not everyone is born that way. If a child is born into an abusive environment where self-cutting, suicidal tendencies and other destructive behaviours are the normal pattern of behaviour - how else can a child learn any differently - if they have no other examples to follow?

Thank you Lord for all the sad times in my life. The trials and sorrows I have had to bear.

Thank you that in all the dark times You have helped us to turn to You and find New Life so even though we can still have sad times - one day ALL WILL BE WELL when we go to Heaven.

Thank you for all the compassion You have shown me which has given me compassion for others. I pray that the Lord will always be a leading Light to others who are going through the dark times and we too can shine for Jesus and testify to His goodness - even when we too have encountered bad times.

The Church is the Body of Christ and we all have different gifts and are at different stages on our journey. We all have gone through different circumstances - faced many things and TOGETHER God has EQUIPPED His church with all the gifts that it needs to minister to one another - through Him. May we all be open to one another's needs and may the Lord work in all of us to persevere on our Christian walk so TOGETHER we can stand tall and go out to others PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST - because of the way we PERSONALLY have encountered Jesus Christ ourselves and can truly TESTIFY to His Mercy and Love.

In Jesus Name I ask it AMEN AND AMEN. Thank You Lord.

May the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all as you fix your mind on Him. Written by Linda Fawkes (c) Copyright 2011

Jesus will take care of You. Trust in Him!

BEYOND SHAVUOT / PENTECOST *(Its More Than GIFTS!!!) PART ONE & TWO:

BY JOSHUA REE

BEYOND SHAVUOT / PENTECOST *(Its More Than GIFTS !!!)

Do You UNderstand This THING we call Pentcost ? DO YOU Want to UNDERstand This HOLY TIME ??? I say this Because its Not About Playing With SUPERNATURAL TOYS, as many have come to Think & Live OUT ,Opening a Different Door......! WHAT ? ITS ABOUT TRUE RELATIONSHIP,TRUE LOVE / HESED,& what has been missing in What we call The Church . COME ON, Its Worth KNOWING TRUE LIFE IN CHRIST,RIGHT .....?

WE must start at the beginning to SEE The Full Picture , That puts us in the writings of Moses The 1st 5 books ,Known as The TORAH. Knowing this we must remember that these writings came much later than when the beginning Was ; therefore these words where handed down by others telling the stories & YHWH speaking to the Heart / Spirit of Moses. Thus when we

read these Happenings we understand THAT THIS IS AFTER THE FACT of when it took place . I say this because We need to keep this in mind as the verbal picture unfolds...this will be more in chronological order to explain the ACTIONS ! Our brief will be concerning the 6th & 7th days of what is known as creation .

The Hebrew is written in a form of poetic verse that has a cadence to it when read both inward & outwardly. This gives a form of (the last being first & the first being last ) as to keep the cadence and the use of words in form that is not as English ....gives meaning to the Words Lost In Translation !!!

We start with GENESIS 1 : 26 GOD saying ,LET US make Man in our Image ,After Our Likeness: and Let THEM have DOMINION Over....27.So GOD created Created MAN in HIS IN HIS OWN IMAGE , In the Image of GOD created HE him (mankind -adam / ad'-um or aw-dawm - A New Species, A Little Lower Than The Angels ( HEBREWS2 : 6 - 12 & PSALM 8 :3 - 9 ) The last part of vs.27 - 28 came after there was more we see in the 7th day writings that show up in chapter 2. GENESIS 2 : 1 - 6 is the 7th day starting with vs .7 - 25 is all back on the 6th day. this is where we understand what is taking place ,with the important Prophetic Appointed Time of Pentecost / Shavuot . Start to receive the HESED / Love of our Father Yehovah . From verse 8 onward we can find courtship... vs.15 YHWH beyond the outer curtain * outside the camp Called Earth To the Gateway / Path Of TABERNACLE *The Garden of Eden ( a delight,pleasant ,to live voluptuously, pleasure ) ,then suddenly, Adam received his 1st Commandment....OF EVERY TREE of The Garden you may Eat FREELY : BUT of the Tree of the Knowledge of Righteousness & Evil or UNrighteousness, you shall NOT EAT of it : for IN THE DAY THAT YOU DO YOU SHALT SURELY DIE. VS 18 is a very interesting verse the mention of A HELP MEET a HELP FIT for the ADAM / ISH . The thought goes back to the beginning of creation of The Earth & All Thats In it then fast - forward TO The CREATED

MAN . Verse 19 & 20 form an Picture of GIFTS With AUTHORITY ! THERE IS A ...BLANK ;The blank is NO response or reply from The Adam... WHAT IS THIS ??? SELAH !!! This word MEET ,means FIT. This word ay'-zer has a root word aw-zar' meaniing to surround ,protect help & aid ; the first use of this root is with the Jacobs deathbed blessing of JOSEPH ( GENESIS 49 :25 ) SAYING " The ELOHIM of thy Father,who shall Help you..." Does this Open our eyes To What was being Said here ?

THE FATHER ,OUR FATHER YHWH ,WAS SPEAKING TO The Adam as a son ,but more; as they being one. ONE ! ALL THE FREE GIFTS are like courtship,YHWH Being more than ALL Adam needed or ever would need . WHEN Adam didnt respond , YHWH DID SOMETHING EVEN STRONGER .......HE GAVE Adam A PART OF HIMSELF;THE EL-SHADDAI PART !!! WHAT ? You say . We need to understand the ONENESS / BINDING part that this gives to LIFE . Now remember this is YHWH talking with Adam ever before there was an Eve or ISH Think about the two ELOHIM & Adam walking & talking about All that this world this Earth was to be...how The I AM told him about each Word spoken came into being,the sky ,stars & other planets ,the oceans and land masses the firmament called HEAVEN ,the fruit trees and all other life forms ...fowl fish& animals of many kinds all for his joy & living with YHWH . AND YHWH looked at all HE had made ...Behold ,it was very good; RIGHTEOUS ! HE even allowed the created Adam man name the other creations ....BUT for Some reason there was something missing in this Personal Relationship between the two, Adam seemed incomplete as if there was to be more still.

THERE WAS NOT in Adams eye a help fit for himself. WOW ! YEHOVAH gives MORE, THIS TIME PART OF HIMSELF . AS said before THE EL-SHADDAI . WE SAY ..GOD ALMIGHTY this is EL- SHADDAI, AS spoken to ABRAM (GENESIS 17 :1- )YHWH,SAID I Am EL- SHADDAI; WALK with ME and be perfect .And I will make My Covenant between ME & You...SOMETIMES EL-SHADDAI is called

the Many Breasted One strong in battle with Power& Might of HIS Spirit ; but there is more still...this word BREAST, not only mighty in battle, but quick to nourish ,satisfy, supply, comfort,give increase,birth! even to pour / pours out .

ITS like saying I AM YOUR ALL IN ALL ! ARE we Seeing & Hearing ? In the Greek its IKANOS translated ALL-SUFFICIENT...Now the light comes on,right ?

LET us continue as counting All That is being said ...SEE this GENESIS 49 : 24,25.this is concerning Joseph: "...the arms of his hands were made Strong by the Hands of the Mighty God of JACOB....even by The EL of thy Father,who shall help you ;& by the below,blessings of the Breast of Shaddai ,who shall Bless you with Blessings of Heaven above , of the Deep that couches below, Blessings of the Breast & of the womb ..." Move forward to ISAIAH 66:13 , "As a Mother comforts her son so will I comfort you ;and you shall find comfort in JERUSALEM." LUKE 13 :34 reads " O Jerusalem,Jerusalem,which kills the Prophets,& stones them that are sent to you; how often would I (AM the Shaddai) have gathered your children together( as one) ,as a Hen gathers her young under her wings , and you would not ! " NOW REMEMBER Adam ? WE are back to him now...YHWH, caused a DEEP SLEEP to fall upon him as being anaesthetized ,and HE took one of Adams ribs from his side,& closed up the flesh instead thereof;and the Rib,which ADONAI Yehovah had taken from the Adam,made( as building another Adam but different) ,HE made a Woman ,And Brought her unto the Adam Man. * You might want to re-read this part and see something that took place ! SELAH !!!

REMINDING : This is happening on the 6TH day. Genesis 2 : 23 & 25,Listen ; AND Adam Said, This *(ONE) is NOW * ( AT LAST ) Bone of MY Bones,& Flesh of MY Flesh: she shall be Called ISHA =Woman, Because she Was Taken Out Of Man (ME)......AND they where both Naked, the man / ISH and his woman wife / ISHA,and were Not Ashamed . * DO WE SEE ? THERE ARE 2

MOVEMENTS IN THIS ACTION TAKING PLACE, ONE OF ADONAI'S WILL THE OTHER OF Mans ! GOD REACHES DOWN TO ADAM, EVEN WHEN REJECTED....... PUTS THE MAN AS ASLEEP OPENS him up to do Yet Another WORK , Removes a Rib from the man ADAM ,placing with it More soil of the Earth forming another being in the Adam image ...the Isha & puts not only a rib of man but a Feminine action of TO NURTURE in the Spirit of the Woman; A PART OF EL SHADDAI . WOW !

SOMETHING TO PONDER IS SAID...'THEY WERE BOTH NAKED, the man & his wife,& were Not Ashamed ." GEN 2 :25, Now compare this to EXODUS 32 :25 :This has 2 Counts of being naked ,See 2 CHR. 28: 19 - 25 ,this is also Counted nakedness......

AS WE COME TO Chapter 3 please keep in mind this all is taking place in DAY 6. THIS ALSO BEING A PART OF THE STORY OF THE FALLING THAT WE KNOW SO WELL......or do we ???

STARTING WITH THE WORD SERPENT , HE Was SUBTIL / SHREWDEST OF ALL THE WILD BEAST THAT THE LORD GOD HAD MADE . * Lets See Other Gifts this creature has :to foretell from signs or symptoms,to predict , To Prophecy ,foreshow ... to hiss , whisper,enchant ,use magic,even put spells...or incantation...to be smooth of skin as naked !! AN ANGEL FROM Heaven not only FELL himself...thats the seeds he sowed THE FALL OF MANKIND AS WELL. SEE REVELATION 12 :7 - 9 . THE ONE WHO MADE WORSHIP & PRAISE IN THE HEAVENS , knows how to snare hearts & tie with cunning smooth words whispered in ears Wanting By The Soul ! This Serpent knew how to Talk with EVE with Such Seduction , her eyes & ears were Set on This ANGELIC BEING More than God & Adam her Husband ;the Fruit of his lips were filled with Leaven , the Smooth Talk & Skin took her to Lusting for more of his Being & Wisdom as he Rendered Prophetic words ...the Food that would make Her like

a god , Knowing Good From Evil. the words danced WITHIN HER SOUL SHE WANTED TO EAT THE FRUIT OF THE tree MORE THAN OBEYING THE WORDS OF LIFE SPOKEN BY YEHOVAH...SHE WAS LIFE; SHE GAVE TO ADAM HIS OWN WILLINGNESS TO DISOBEY ; HIS FREEWILL TO BE WITH EVE KILLED HIMSELF !

LUST OF THE EYES & THE PRIDE OF LIFE CAUSED IDOL WORSHIP ,ADULTERY,& PRIDE TO SEEK ANOTHER LORD FORSAKING YHWH......THE NURTURING DEPARTED FROM TRUTH TO A LIE ! CAN YOU HEAR EL-SHADDAI WEEP & CRY ???

AND THE LORD GOD Said,Behold, The Man Adam has become One of Us, Knowing Good & Evil:& now, lest he put forth his hand & take of THE TREE OF LIFE Eat & Live For Ever ....So The Adam Man Was Removed From The Garden Of Eden . THE 1st Adam & 1st Eve now knew EXPULSION as YEHOVAH Placed Cherubim .& A FLAMING SWORD Which turned every way , TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE TREE OF LIFE ! THE COVENANT WAS NOT EXCEPTED IT WAS BROKEN LIKE HEARTS OF STONE AND THE FAMILY OF MAN STARTED ITS WANDERING IN THE WILDERNESS OUTSIDE THE GARDEN With Bitter Waters & Dry Soil......COUNTING WEIGHTS & MEASURES, BLESSINGS & CORRECTIONS.....ONE AT A TIME, EACH DAY ! SHALOM !

BEYOND SHAVUOT / PENTECOST.......( ITS MORE THAN GIFTS ) PART 2 STARTING AT EXODUS CHAPTER 33 ; THIS WAS AFTER MOSES CAME DOWN MOUNT SINAI, The First Time ;WHEN THE GOLDEN CALF WAS DESTROYED & THE COVENANT TABLETS OF STONE WERE BROKEN, THUS THE MARRIAGE COVENANT WAS BROKEN BY MANS ACTIONS AND THE PROPHET OF YHWH. AS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD WENT BEFORE THEM, YHWH STAYED AWAY SAYING, " I WILL NOT GO UP IN THE PRESENCE OF ISRAEL;FOR YOU ARE A

STIFFED NECKED & REBELLIOUS PEOPLE : LEST I CONSUME YOU IN THE ROUTE OF YOUR TRAVEL ." THE YOUNG NATION OF ISRAEL Hearing All that was said About them ;they mourned for YHWH To Return..... They took off the rest of their JEWELRY brought out from EGYPT.......STRIPPING IT OFF OF THEMSELVES ;AS TAKING OFF THE OLD MAN,REMOVING THE ITEMS OF THE PAST,ALLOWING THE WATER BAPTISM TO WASH CLEAN THEIR HEARTS !

THEN THEY SET CAMP AT THE FOOT OF MOUNT HOREB * MEANING :Parch, Drought,Dry Up, Make Desolate, SLAY, A Cutting Instrument ,knif or dagger,Sword..... ( same as Flaming Sword At The Garden & The same tool used to cut GOLIATH'S HEAD OFF.) THESE SWORDS ARE USED TO SAFEGUARD & BRING JUDGMENT... AN Act of Counting by Weights & Measures....SELAH !

A SWORD is used to kill or slay as a weapon of HIS JUDGMENT,therefore it Could NOT BE USED As a Chisel or hewing STONE FOT HIS ALTAR...IT would be as polluted then, not FOR BRINGING LIFE ... SO HERE IS ISRAEL...WAITING....FOR BLESSING OR ONCE AGAIN CORRECTION ! OR BOTH IN SEASON .

THERE WAS A TABERNACLE AT THIS CAMP SITE...BUT NOT THE IN-VISIONED OR BLUE-PRINTED ONE OF HEAVENS ON EARTH....! THIS WAS A PERSONAL TENT OF MEETING WHERE MOSES DID MEET WIT YHWH.......ALL THAT WAS KNOWN WAS THEIR FACE TO FACE TALKS , WITHOUT Lampstand , Shewbread, Incense Table or ARK & MERCY SEAT ;Only HE, YHWH, WAS ALL THESE ITEMS & MORE . Moses had asked Israel to come close & Know the IAM IAM Within his own TENT ... He Called it The Tabernacle of The Congregation Outside the Camp....A Shadow of The One To COME . Every Time Moses Went To Meet With IAM IAM ;ALL ISRAEL Would Stand & Watch As He Went Into The TENT, There Was ALWAYS A CLOUDY PILLAR That Descended AT THE DOOR WAY.......The Nation of Israel Only worshiped At Their OWN TENT DOOR !

ONLY ONE JOINED MOSES IN THAT TENT ; A Young Man ,JOSHUA The Son of Nun...He Would Stay without Departing much... LEARNING & LISTENING To

the Weights and the Measures OF ANOTHER MANNA FOR LIFE !!! SELAH !

THIS IS TO BE OUR WAY , IN HIS PRESENCE AT HIS FEET,BECOMING N E W .

MOSES WAS ALWAYS GROWING.......JOSHUA WAS ALWAYS THERE IN SPIRIT & TRUTH AS WELL ! MOSES SPEAKS TO IAM , IF I ,have found Grace in your sight Show Me More...I Want to know you Closer; AND THAT THIS NATION IS YOURS ,YOUR PEOPLE . THIS SHOULD BE OUR PRAYER ,THIS SHOULD BE EVERY NATIONS PRAYER,TO KNOW THE CREATOR OF ALL HEAVEN & ALL EARTH,INSTEAD OF FALSE Political messiah's OF DEATH & DESTRUCTION .

IAM SAID, MY PRESENCE SHALL GO WITH YOU & I WILL GIVE YOU REST .

MOSES SAYS , IF YOUR PRESENCE GOES NOT WITH ME ,CARRY US NOT UP ...

THATS HOW ALL WILL KNOW YOU ARE WITH US ,YOUR ISRAEL, SEPERATE US FROM THE OTHERS THAT ARE UPON THIS EARTH ! IAM SAYS BACK I WILL DO THIS FOR YOU HAVE FOUND GRACE IN MY SIGHT ,I KNOW YOU MOSES, BY NAME , COME . OH IF WE TODAY WOULD BE SO SURE OF OUR FAITH, OUR PERSONAL INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH YEHOVAH - YESHUA , WE COULD MOVE MOUNTAINS & NATIONS ,WITH OUR PRAYERS. IAM used one word over & over Grace.......This GRACE is very much different of our Tongue of Today, its ROOT System is connected to & With Mercy...Granted To USWARD to Find the PLACE WITHIN our Spirit & Soul To Know TRUTH IN ,BY ,THROUGH A Lifestyle of WORSHIP & PRAISE ; we are given an Ex tension through Forgiveness To INTER IN TO WORSHIP & PRAISE OF THE YHWH........YESHUA / SALVATION . This is Not A Cheap Grace As Spoken BY TODAYS Tongue !

MOSES SAYS...I BESEECH YOU O ADONAI , SHOW ME YOUR GLORY, I PRAY !

WOW ! TALK ABOUT GETTING PERSONAL,& CLOSE UP.......TO KNOW AS FACE TO FACE ,SEEING BEYOND THE CLOUDS INTO HEAVEN ,NOT BY DREAMS & VISIONS,BEYOND THE REALMS OF OUR LIMITED BEING !!! YHWH SAYS YOU CAN NOT SEE MY GLORY AS FACE TO FACE & LIVE ! BEHOLD ,THERE IS A PLACE I WILL ALLOW YOU TO STAND BY ME AND SEE THE BACK SIDE OF MY BEING .

STAND UPON (AS IN )A ROCK , IT SHALL COME TO PASS (a prophetic word of truth...AS APPOINTED TIMES)AS I AM PASSES; YOU WILL SEE & KNOW MY GLORY , FROM THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK WHERE I PLACE YOU....... BUT REMEMBER MY FACE SHALL NOT BE SEEN (IN THE NOW) THIS COVERS SEVERAL APPOINTED TIMES OF WEIGHTS & MEASURES ........ see, IT IS WRITTEN : THE GLORY OF THE FATHER IS THE SON. & ON THE MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION MOSES WAS THERE WITH CHRIST & ELIJAH ...MOSES SAW THE BACKSIDE OF YEHOVAH,HE SAW YESHUA ; THE FULLY GOD & FULLY MAN. MOSES SAY THE PROPHET TO COME ,THAT ISRAEL SHOULD HEAR & OBEY...THE COVENANT SPOKEN IN THE SPIRIT OF THE BETROTHAL & THE WEDDING TO COME ; NOT ONLY THE PROPHET ,BUT A HIGH PRIEST THAT ENTERS IN ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME BRINGING THE LIVING BLOOD OF ATONEMENT , HE TO IS THAT STAFF THAT DID BUD, AND IS THE ARK & THE TRUE MERCY SEAT WITH LIVING BLOOD SPRINKLED UPON;EVEN HIS OWN. HE TOO IS THE TRUE SON OF KING DAVID,WHO'S KINGDOM WILL NEVER PASS AWAY... MOSES SAW MORE THAN HIS MIND COULD HAVE KNOWN .......YES MOSES DID SEE FACE TO FACE !!!

BEYOND SHAVUOT /PENTECOST.......(MORE THAN GIFTS ) PART 3 -5 : BY JOSHUA REE

THE STONE TABLES ARE RENEWED ; EXODUS 34 ;MOSES WAS TOLD BY THE LORD OF ALL,TO HEW TWO NEW STONES AS ONTO THE FIRST ; I WILL WRITE UPON THESE THE SAME WORDS AS I WROTE BEFORE.......THE ONES YOU THREW DOWN & BROKE ,MOSES ! IN THE MORNING COME UP MOUNT SINIAI,& PRESENT THYSELF IN THE TOP OF THE MOUNT AGAIN . NO MAN WITH YOU COMES, NO MAN OR BEAST TOUCH THE MOUNT ! THIS MOSES DID ,AS INSTRUCTED THE LORD DESCENDED IN THE CLOUD ,& STOOD WITH MOSES THERE, PROCLAIMING THE NAME OF THE LORD YHWH,THE IAM IAM...,SAYING,THE ADONAI,THE LORD GOD .

MERCIFUL & FULL OF GRACE ,LONG-SUFFRRING ,ABUNDANT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS & TRUTH,KEEPING MERCY FOR THOUSANDS ,FORGIVING INIQUITY& TRANSGRESSION & SIN & THAT WILL BY NO MEANS CLEAR THE GUILTY ;VISITING THE INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE CHILDREN ,& UPON THE CHILDRENS CHILDREN,UNTO THE 3RD & 4TH GENERATION. MOSES MADE HASTE AND BOWED HIS HEAD TOWARD THE EARTH, & WORSHIPED.

MOSES SAID IF I HAVE FOUND FAVOR AS GRACE IN THY SIGHT ,O LORD, LET MY LORD ,I PRAY THEE,GO AMONG US .......AND TAKE US AS FOR YOUR INHERITANCE (YOUR WIFE ) THE ANSWER.......I DO ,I WILL.....I MAKE COVENANT ;BEFORE YOU ALL,SUCH AS HAS NEVER BEEN I WILL DO MARVELS BEFOR YOU AND ALL NATIONS ...!!!

MAKE NO GODS BEFORE YOU, NO OTHER COVENANTS,IN THE LAND THAT I GIVE YOU..... WORSHIP NO OTHER god, FOR IAM YOURS & YOU ARE MINE.......MY NAME IS JEALOUS FOR IAM A JEALOUS ELOHIM . MAKE NO COVENANTS WITH THE INHABITANTS OG THE LAND....DONT GO WHORING AFTER OTHER gods & DO NO SACRIFICE UNTO gODS LET NO ONE LEAD YOU TO EAT OF THEIR SACRIFICES & TAKE NONE OF THEIR SONS OR DAUGHTERS INTO YOUR FAMILIES...

WHEN MOSES CAME DOWN THE MOUNT SINAI THIS TIME ,THERE WAS SHALOM IN THE CAMP , AND WONDER AS MOSES ' FACE DID SHINE AS GLORY OF THE LORD WAS WITH HIM . THIS TIME THE PEOPLE STOOD IN AWE OF THE SHALOM OF YHWH & THAT OF MOSES ,AS THEY TALKED OF THE PROPHETIC APPOINTED TIMES AS GREAT GIFTS OF BETROTHAL THEY HAD BEEN GIVEN . THE COURTSHIP WAS BEGUN.......NOW THE RELATIONSHIP MUST BECOME ALIVE & RESPECTFUL ....... LETS WALK !!! SELAH .

BEYOND PENTECOST (MORE THAN GIFTS) PART 4 NOW LETS LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURES THAT WE ALL SEEM TO KNOW BEST ,FROM THE BOOK OF ACTS. IT WILL MAKE MORE SENSE NOW AS WE HAVE REVIEWED THE PAST . FROM THE TIME OF ADAM IT WAS ALWAYS A COURTSHIP BETWEEN ELOHIM & HIS CREATION.......HIS FOOTSTOOL,AND WHAT IT WAS TO BE BETWEEN HIMSELF & EARTH, A LITTLE LOWER THAN HEAVEN & ANGLES !

IT has always been about a wedding,A WEDDING Beyond all that can be imagined . Throughout the Books & passages of scripture Comes a Life Beyond This Flesh,however it starts WITHIN, Before the FALLEN FLESH & SOUL of mankind ! Do We UNDERstand ?

CHRIST SAID to the question; was HE about TO RESTORE Again The Kingdom TO ISRAEL;IT IS NOT FOR YOU KNOW...the Times & Seasons which the Father has Put In HIS Power. WAIT for The Promise of The Father,which you heard from ME. John Baptized with Water of Repentance,but you shall be Baptized with THE HOLY BREATH / SPIRIT not many days from now...The WAIT as the ISRAEL coming out of EGYPT When MOSES Went Up MOUNT SINAI ! CHRIST GIVES more information ...You shall receive POWER,after that HOLY BREATH COMES Upon You ...you shall Give Witness of ME In JERUSALEM,all JUDEA,& SAMARIA,then to the uttermost part of the EARTH... Then as HE finished talking to them HE was Taken Up;& a Cloud Received HIM .WE Today must remember HE returns in like manner as when HE was Received INTO HEAVEN.......A SPIRIT MAN !

LETS RETURN TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN , to understand something.......before the Falling Away THERE WAS A SUPERNATURAL COVERING OVER ADAM, THIS DIVINE COVERING WAS SPIRIT.BOTH INWARD The Breath of Life & OUTWARD The Divine Covering (As A Hem of a Priestly Robe) Remember WHEN THE ISH & ISHA Became DISOBEDIENT TO THE COMMAND of Not Eating of The Tree,Their eyes became different , OPENED to the EVIL......they knew they were Naked...With out The Divine Covering (AS A CLOUD of Light ) SELAH !

THIS IS BRINGS US TO UNDERSTAND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE WE DO NOT KNOW BECAUSE OF LACK OF STUDY & GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN TEACH US....AS CHRIST SAID; ALL THINGS !!! ITS All about A Great Relationship An INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP ,Where HEAVEN & EARTH Marry & BECOME ONE !!!

When ADAM Man said NO as such , EVE was given ,She said NO as well, The gifts given were to form anew CREATION ,HEAVEN ON EARTH as being ONE ...Being ONE...as HUSBAND & ......!!! Do We See ,its by the SPIRIT !?

EVERY THING GOD GAVE TO ADAM ,WAS BETROTHAL GIFTS ;A DOWRY FOR THE FUTURE . UNTIL REJECTION COMES IN ITS Many Forms .* We will not Count The Ways ! Let us Look at an EXAMPLE for clarity on this and the above statements.

EZEKIEL 16 *( IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS CHAPTER YOU WILL GLEAN RICHLY ) ,However we will point out just a few;vs6 & Following ...When I passed by you , I saw you polluted in thine own blood (The fallen state : Pride ,Self-Will,Desire,Lust of Eyes & Flesh,Idol Worship,Adultery,Lack of Discernment, Understanding,and an Unteachable Spirit ),TO NAME A FEW Critical charges to life. However I said LIVE ...Live , Live....Your Time to Live & Love was now,I Spread MY Skirt Over You Covering Your Nakedness,I did Sware Unto you & entered Into A Covenant for you to be Mine ....I washed You .Anointed You With OIL I Clothed You in fine Fashion .You Were Decked in Much Fine Raiment To Behold Your Food was Rip & Delicious ...your prosperity would have been MY KINGDOM ,Your renown went forth among the deceitful for your beauty; it was Perfect Through MY Comeliness,which I had put upon you,said the LORD GOD . But You did trust in Yourself As Beauty AND PLAYED The HARLOT ......You Forgot ALL THAT HAD BEEN GIVEN YOU In Such A Short Time ......You Built your own faithfulness as a Whore with An Eminent high Place at every Street , far away FROM MY GARDEN CALLED EDEN !

Yet The Two Adams ;ISH & ISHA,DIED When They SOLD The Soil They Owned For The Price of A LIE ,within the 6TH DAY, BANISHED FROM REST !

THE SAME THING IS RECORDED IN THE ISRAEL COMING OUT OF EGYPT,THEY TOO WANTED MORE FOR THEMSELVES THAN WHAT WAS BEING GIVEN FROM YHWH THROUGH MOSES . They also Played The Harlot ,The Whore,for A Golden Calf & Altar ,not giving Their Lives to The Betrothal or MARRIAGE COVENANT Written in STONE By The FIRE FINGER of GOD...... MOSES BROKE THE STONES to REMOVE THE COVENANT that would have brought DEATH TO ALL. NOT SO WITH CHRIST.......

CHRIST SPOKE BEYOND A GARDEN, BEYOND A VINEYARD,BEYOND THE TENT OF MEETING,BEYOND THE TABERNACLE DESIGN OF EARTH,BEYOND THAT OF HEAVENS BUILD, BEYOND THE CITY OF BREAD And ALL HE VISITED, BEYOND JUDEA ,BEYOND JERUSALEM ;HE SPOKE OF THE FULLNESS OF THEM ALL AND MORE.......HE SPOKE BEYOND THE CLOUDS OF OUR SKY DEEP INTO THE HEAVENS ABOVE THE FIRMAMENT OF SKY & SEA EVEN EARTH ITSELF.......HE SPOKE OF A NEW JERUSALEM,AND ITS CORNERSTONE BUILT IN EACH ONES LIFE THAT SURRENDERS TO HIS LORDSHIP BEYOND THE VEIL OF FLESH.......!!!

PENTECOST HAD COME,50 DAYS ,SEVEN WEEKS OF SABBATHS PLUS ONE DAY,THE COUNTING OF THE OMER WAS NOW BRINGING FORTH A PEOPLE ; A REMNANT THAT WHERE READY TO EXCEPT THE COVENANT OF MARRIAGE. NO GARDEN, NO TWO MOUNTS SINAI OR HOREB.......BUT THE MOUNT OF MANS WILL DEEP WITHIN HIS BEING... A VERY LARGE PLACE WITH MANY Wells of Will,Idols of different gods including Self,Gifts of Devils & Demons,Places & Things, Gold & Silver,Harlots & False Prophets,Controlled By Power Hungry Would Be Kings & Princes,Queens &Monsters...... ALL DESTROYED BY GOD'S TRUE LOVE & SALVATION! Spoken of in Prophetic Words ,Psalms &Teachings of Truth IN VESSELS OF CLAY Called Flesh : RE-BORN OF SPIRIT . AMEN !

WHEN PENTECOST was fully come, All that obeyed The Command of Love & excepted the COVENANT OF MARRIAGE ,THEIR DOWRY OF GIFTS CAME SUDDENLY.......A Rushing Mighty Wind / Breath FILLING THE HOUSE OF 120 ROOMS.WITH the Appearance of Cloven Tongues of Fire on the Foundation where They sat.FILLING THEM With The HOLY BREATH OF GOD, GIFTING Them All with Tongues of Languages not their own, as The SPIRIT gave utterance...WOW,talking to many people groups of many nations at Once,so that ALL COULD HEAR THE TRUTH OF HEAVEN,AS THE LAMB had given .HOW Grand was this restoration ?

When in History's past The Giving Of TONGUES was A WEAPON OF WAR to Divide the Fallen Men From Building Their Own Kingdom To Rival HEAVEN,As A Tower Called BABEL......(* Much Like The Coming NEW /

ONE WORLD ORDER) YES THERE WAS MOCKING of those that Spoke of Heavens GLORY this day in JERUSALEM,From The ones There Playing Religion, not UNDERSTANDING TORAH AS LIVING SALVATION GIVEN ! Do we ?

PETER TOOK CENTER and explained the gifts of YEHOVAH'S Giving,proclaiming WORDS From The Prophet JOEL & his writings..."IN THE LAST OF DAYS IT SHALL COME TO PASS,Says GOD, I WILL POUR Out MY SPIRIT -BREATH UPON ALL FLESH ( THAT WILL BELIEVE MY WORDS ):& son & daughters Shall PROPHESY,Young Men will See Visions ,Old Men Will Dream Dreams: & on MY Servants & Handmaidens I Will Pour Out In those Days of MY SPIRIT - BREATH & They shall Prophesy : & I will Show WONDERS IN HEAVEN ABOVE,& SIGNS In The Earth Beneath; Blood, Fire & Vapor of Smoke.......It Shall Come To Pass,That WHOSOEVER Shall Call On The Name of The ADONAI,Shall Be UNTO SALVATION as their Heart Speaks Truthfully !

Peter spoke of many great & mighty WORDS WRITTEN IN THE PAST THAT HAD NOW COME TRUE because of Surrendered Hearts...wanting TO BE PART OF THE GREAT WEDDING OF TRUE ISRAEL...IN THE HOLY OF ALL THAT IS HOLY;SPIRIT BIRTHED ISRAEL !!!

FOR THE PROMISE IS UNTO YOU & your children,& All that are Afar off,Even As Many as The Lord Our GOD Shall CALL TO HIMSELF. COME INTO THE WATERS OF REPENTANCE SEEKING THE BIRTH OF THE SPIRIT...A NEW LIFE BEYOND THE GIFTS OF BETROTHAL; THERE IS A DAILY COUNTING OF HIS PRESENCE & HIS GLORY IN THE HOLY HOLY PLACE OF HIS SPIRIT.......FROM THE WATERS EDGE ,UNTO THE DEEP WATERS OF THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; WISDOM,INSIGHT, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING .......IN THE SECRET PLACE OF ABIDING ; PRAYER IS COMMUNION TALKING FACE AS UNTO FACE.......THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS SENT TO TEACH US ALL THINGS IN THE FATHERS HOUSE THAT MANKIND CAN NOT TEACH ! LIKE ENOCH THE 7TH FROM ADAM.......NOT ONLY DID HE Find The RESTING PLACE, He Became The First High Priest of the Earth .

THE TRUE GIFTS ARE FOR THE BRIDE , THEY are not for Playing With

Or Personal Gain. REMEMBER EGYPT'S Sorcerers & Magicians worked Enchantments As The Serpent in The Garden; Bless The IAM IAM,when AARON Threw Down His Rod AND IT Turned to a Serpent , So did Pharaoh's Camp...ONLY AARON'S ROD Swallowed up the others... Just like There is Much FOOL'S GOLD & Other Tricks of DARKNESS Stealing Lives TODAY......The GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT Must Be Based In THE LORD'S LOVE / HESED . Lovers of Self Will not BE AT THE WEDDING only at The Weeding......SHALOM !!! WITH OUT LOVE ALL GIFTS ARE FALSE ones ! # 5 PENTECOST...........THE GIFTS (OF BETROTHAL.......AND MORE) WE HAVE LOOKED AT MUCH OF WHAT SHAVUOT / PENTECOST IS, FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO THE FIRST ONE AFTER CHRIST 'S ASCENSION.......LOOK WHAT ADAM & EVE MISSED OUT ON.......AS THEY TURNED ASIDE THE MARRIAGE COVENANT; AND THE NEW NATION OF ISRAEL LEAVING EGYPT. ...IN ALL THAT WE HAVE SEEN THE GROUP OF ABOUT 120 IN THE UPPER ROOM WHO RECEIVED THE GIFTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,THEY WALKED IN THIS GIFTING THE GREATEST ! WOW ! THAT SAYS VERY MUCH TO US IN THIS PRESENT DAY,DOES IT NOT ? THAT MANY GENERATIONS & YEARS BEFORE THE PEOPLE OTHER THAN A FEW THAT BECAME PROPHETS ,some PRIESTS & A FEW TRUE KINGS, AT TIMES KNEW THE BREATH OF THE SPIRIT WHEN PRESENT . SELAH !

May I Pose A Question,Please ??? W H A T H A S H A P P E N E D ?

PONDER THIS QUESTION AS YOU READ ON FORWARD........................................THANK YOU !

AS WE READ THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES FROM GENESIS ON.......THERE IS ONE MAIN POINT TO THE FULLNESS OF THE STORY OF TRUTH .......ITS ABOUT A WEDDING , ARE WE AGREED ?

ITS ABOUT TWO BECOMING ONE : MARRIAGE ;THE FULLNESS IS BETWEEN HEAVEN & EARTH .

WE saw how Adam fell,and then Eve,it has become so classic & so very SAD .

However ELOHIM has the ability to overcome these Hurts & Disappointments and carry on .What else is the Creator of ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN & EARTH To Do ? There is Love !

IN THE Lives of Abraham , Isaac ,& Jacob / Israel ,there are many great story lines to be seen & understood that speak of these actions . One of the strongest is that of ISAAC & REBEKAH. Herein we see the unfolding of a picture of A Father & Son A great servant as the HOLY SPIRIT going to seek out & find the wife for this SON.......The Would Be Wife excepted The Proposal , Not seeing The Husband To Be,there a lone they had something very special going on between the TWO of Them. ONLY What they did hear of Each Other by The Spirit,therefore A Great Act of FAITH . (See Genesis 24 All) Another important story in scripture is in EZEKIEL 16 , which relates our Father Yehovah looking for the wife that once said yes then turned away...as the Nation of ISRAEL has done often.......as many people groups & Nations do . Like ours as well.

THEN THERE is HOSEA,now this truly teaches the HESED / LOVE that YEHOVAH has for ISRAEL & ALL NATIONS being the Entire Formed BRIDE . This Prophet's life is a powerful story of Forgiveness beyond the human nature of man.TO be a Sign & Wonder to ISRAEL & Then to All The Called Out Ones To HIMSELF (YHWH) HOSEA is instructed to Marry a known Harlot . She leaves The Prophet like each paid customer in Sin.HOSEA must purchase her back from an auction stand, much like Todays Church that at large is an HARLOT . Many of us have been there in one form or another......have we not ?

YET there are more great reads that show over and over this HEART OF OUR FATHER & HIS SON Toward us becoming this multi mixed Wife ! A few I would Like to mention as great personal STUDY over & over. the book of Ruth who followed Naomi & became a great member of the body of the land of Israel through one man Boaz... she was Grafted In,by a wedding herself ! Then the next 2, I list will be the two greatest END TIME

PROPHETIC PORTIONS of the days We Now Live ! 1) SONG OF SOLOMON ...Please do yourself a Larger Than Large Favor ,with this one ;READ & STUDY ,take your time study each word look them up ,it comes to life !! THIS one alone teaches the intimacy relationship of worship & praise between the betrothed couple,within their courtship as becoming ONE without exceeding their covenant agreement . INTERCOURSE OF WORDS ,PRAYERS AND LIFE OF SPIRIT UNION CONTINUES TO GROW BRINGING THE HOUSE IN ONE ACCORD ;KNOWING EACH OTHER IN LIKE NATURE OF PRAYER & WORSHIP ,EVEN INTERCESSION BEFORE THE EXPERIENCE OF CONSUMMATION ! 2) ESTHER / HADASSAH : THE HEBREW BRIDE THAT BROUGHT SALVATION TO AN UNRULY KING & ISRAEL . BESIDES AN INTERESTING COURTSHIP OF INTERFAITH INTERFUSE ,THERE IS AN UNDERLINING MYSTERY OR MORE . BUT the preparation processes of the evening meeting is as BEAUTIFUL AS THE COURTSHIP IN "SONG"!

WHEN THESE TWO ARE FUSED TOGETHER THERE IS AN INTERESTING COMPREHENSION OF THE MARRIAGE COVENANT THAT CAN BE BETWEEN HEAVEN & EARTH , ISRAEL & GENTILES; SELAH !

WE COULD GO ON with parts of many of the Books Of the Bible ,but in this study we will not .HOWEVER we must continue in to the New Testament,with Yeshua / Jesus ,The Husband & The Betrothed Bride as all Spirit Formed ISRAEL ,HEBREW / JEW & GENTILE AS ONE Woman.... YESHUA as THE PROPHET MOSES spoke of is also The HIGH PRIEST & The KING. John The Baptizer knew this to be true Read John 3 :29 saying, " He who has the Bride is the Bridegroom.."

YESHUA SEEKS THE BRIDE OF BOTH HOUSES ;The Hebrew / Jew & The Gentiles of The Nations,to form ONE COMPLETE Being HIS BETROTHED BRIDE,That HE & OUR FATHER has been looking for,to bring Heaven & Earth together as ONE ! SHE is to be SPOTLESS, By HIS Mercy,Grace, Forgiveness & Blessings; Working Together Becoming The ONE as 2 Becoming ONE ! SHE is Loving in HIS Hesed... SHE Is HOLY As HE Is HOLY... SHE Is A REMNANT OR SMALL PORTION Of Each

GENERATION from DAY 6TH Untill THE LAST DAY !

The Word Church is the wrong Word To USE AS THE WIFE OF CHRIST;SHE IS SO MUCH MORE ,WE MUST COME TOGETHER AS ONE BODY ONE WIFE ONE FAITH *(HIS FAITH) ONE TRUTH,ONE PRAISE,ONE WORSHIP,ONE GLORY.......THAT OF HIS...We Inter IN BY BEING IN HIM FLAMES WITHIN THE FIRE OF HIS PRESENCE ! AS HE is jealous for us we are jealous for HIM ,by being JEALOUS FOR EACH OTHER IN HIS TRUTH .WOW !Therefore the FORESKIN of Our Individual & Cooperate HEART Needs to be CIRCUMCISED *(This from each Generation unto the End ) SEE 2Corinthians 11 : 2 For I AM JEALOUS Over You with Godly Jealousy : FOR I have Espoused You To ONE HUSBAND,That I May Present You As A Chaste Virgin To CHRIST .

AND THESE Words,from REVELATION 19 :7-9;Let us be Glade & Rejoice,& Give Honor To HIM: For The Marriage Of The Lamb Is Come,& HIS Wife Has Made Ready Herself . And To HER Was Granted That She Should Be Arrayed IN FINE LINEN,Clean & White : For The FINE LINEN Is The RIGHTEOUSNESS Of The SAINTS.......BLESSED Are They Who Are Called To The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb . THESE ARE THEYWHO FOLLOW THE LAMB WHEREVER HE GOES . REVELATION 14 :4 SEE THIS STATEMENT ALONE SPEAKS of THE END TIME REMNANT BRIDE .......The Last Standing ONES GIVE UP ALL That WAS Not Given UP IN THE GARDEN of EDEN !!! DO WE SEE ??? ANOTHER STRONG VERSE IS REV. 6 : 10-11,PLEASE READ THIS ON YOUR OWN its a verse we all need to ponder & meditate on & in ! To Me ITS A Must For US ALL IN The END OF DAYS !!!

Carnal minds hinder the Gifts of The SPIRIT because you MUST BE BORN AGAIN.......These Gifts Are For The BETROTHAL , The Carnal Mans Mind That Has Not Been /Being WASHED By THE SPIRIT Can Not Understand The WORDS or ACTIONS Of The SPIRIT ,But Sets Himself For More Entrapment by the forces of Deception ! IN CORINTHIANS you find the Gifts Of The Spirit....We Will Not Go over Them herein,but make a statement .

WHEN we Look closely at THE LIFE OF CHRIST we see ALL these GIFTS IN OPERATION ,Plus it Seems Even More , SELAH & THINK On These Things , As the Husband Is So Shall The Bride / Wife be ( if ) They Are ONE .

Does Your Marriage Cooperate This Way ? HIS WILL ! SO WE MUST BE OF HIS HEART,HIS MIND,BY HIS WORDS OF LIFE ...ONE ! THESE GIFTS ARE GIVEN TO THE CHOSEN ," THE CALLED OUT ONES" THE BRIDE OF WHEAT, You might say .SHE IS NOT A TARE,OR CHAFF SHE IS PURE GOLDEN WHEAT !!! AS we are many parts we are to be "AS ONE IN HIM" flowing in these BLESSINGS & GIFTS GIVEN !

THESE Gifts have a Double Portion To Them.....Gifts to Woo, The Bride to Be as Betrothal Gifts To The Marriage Covenant & As A Dowry , This too is for us To use With one Another to Heal ,Speak,Correct Bind as One in Christ , The Gifts are not for Show & Tell & Personal Gain...Thats Witchcraft / Rebellion! IT IS TO BUILD UP THE BODY AS ONE IN THE ONE ,HE IS .

And in so doing We BECOME Strong As HE IS STRONG ,not by power or might But By HIS SPIRIT BREATH....GLORY IN HIM !!!

Then as We are Called To Go out In The Highways & Byways of The World.......As THE SPIRIT LEADS We Extend The True Gifts To The Others To Be WED ,without personal JEALOUSY , Because its HIS Will NOT OURS.......ITS THE MOVEMENT OF HIS SPIRIT UPON US TO DO HIS WILL & Extend The Family Of The BRIDE ...HIS LEADING HEALS THE LOST & CALLS THEM IN TO HIMSELF Through US THAT OBEY...the rest is Darkness speaking in lies or fooling us ! SELAH !

AND THERE IS MORE WE MUST SEEK AFTER TO ACCOMPLISH.......WALKING IN HIS HESED LOVE AS BEYOND THIS WORLD ! SHALOM !

HALLELUJAH!!!HALLELUJAH!!!HALLELUJAH!!!!HALLELUJAH!!!GLORY TO YOU MY GOD. SPEAK TO MY HEART LORD GOD. WHY WOULD I ASK GOD TO SPEAK TO MY HEART? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT I CAN CONFIDE IN HIS WORD! I KNOW THAT WHEN GOD SPEAKS HE ALSO PERFORMS WHAT HE SAID. THINK ABOUT IT DID NOT HE MAKE THE HEAVENS AND EARTH, AND IT WAS BY HIS WORD THAT THEY CONTINUE AS THEY ARE THIS DAY? WHEN GOD SPEAKS IT IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN MAN‟S. SO MANY TIMES MAN WILL TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO, BUT WHEN HE HAS TALKED ABOUT IT, THERE IS AN END OF THE MATTER AS FAR HE IS CONCERNED. MAN HAS SPOKEN, YET, YOU CAN NEVER BE SURE THAT WHAT WITH THE TALKING TONGUE WILL GO THE WORKING HAND. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT HE WHO IS QUICK TO PROMISE IS NOT ALWAYS SO P0ROMPT TO PERFORM. THINK ABOUT IT! THERE ARE MANY PROVERBS THAT REMINDS US THAT MEN MAKE LIGHT OF ONE ANOTHER‟S PROMISES, AND WELL THEY MAY; BUT WE MUST NEVER MAKE LIGHT OF THE PROMISES OF GOD. "GOD SPOKE AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED, AND IT STOOD FAST.” SO IF GOD HAS PROMISED TO HELP YOU IN TIME OF TROUBLE OR TO PRESERVE YOU IN THE HOUR OF TEMPATION OR TO DELIEVER YOU OUT OF A TRIAL OR TO GIVE YOU GRACE ACCORDING TO YOUR DAY, THAT PROMSIE IS AS GOOD AS IF IT HAD BEEN ALREADY PERFORMED, SINCE GOD‟S WORD SHALL CERTAINLY BE FOLLOWED BY THE FULILLMENT OF IT IN DUE SEASON.

NUMBERS 23:19 (BBIE); GOD IS NOT A MAN TO SAY WHAT IS FALSE; OR THE SON OF MAN, THAT HIS PURPOSE MAY BE CHANGED: WHAT HE HAS SAID, WILL HE NOT GIVE EFFECT TO THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH? ISAIAH 55:8, 9.11: (ESVB) SAYS FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOURS THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, DELCARES THE LORD. FOR AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS AND MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS…..SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOES OUT FROM MY MOUTH; IT SHALL NOT RETURN TO ME EMPY, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PURPOSED, AND SHALL SUCCEED IN THE THINGS FOR WHICH I SENT IT. "THUS SAID THE LORD GOD.” ARE YOU LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF GOD? HE WILL SPEAK THROUGH HIS WORD AS WELL AS THROUGH HIS HOLY SPIRIT. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, WHAT IS IT TELLING YOU? CAN YOU HEAR THAT STILL SMALL VOICE WITHIN SPEAKING TO YOU? I CAN AND COMFIRMS IT THROUGH HIS WORD. AMEN. REFLECTIONS OF CATHERIN SKINNER MY DAILY DEVOTIONAL STRENGTHENS MY SPIRIT, LORD.

“Cry out and Receive Your Sight� BY JEFF GODSOWN

Mar 10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Mar 10:48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

Mar 10:49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

Mar 10:50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

Mar 10:51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

Mar 10:52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

What do we teach in church today? Do we hear; God will do this for you and God will do that for you, but do we ever hear, make your request known, cry out to the Lord? Jam 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

Jam 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Jam 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Jam 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Get real, be real, stay real, but do it God‟s way, God set forth rules to guide us properly in our requests. We struggle and war against our own flesh, trying desperately and wanting desperately to do things God‟s way, and still there is the struggle. What if the struggle is there because we‟re not learning the right way, what if the teachings we receive are halfway in their approach, like that of satan to Eve? What if the desire and request of our heart would be to have our eyes opened spiritually to the things of God, would we still have as strong a desire for the things of the world? Mar 10:50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

What if the request and desire of our hearts brought a to a place where we ,too will cast off our garments? What if the garments we wear are such things as: pity, religiosity, pride, jealousy, unfit anger, ignorance, self righteousness, haughtiness, self reliance, unforgiveness, gloating, and or so on and so on?

What would happen if we just died to the garment of self and stood in faith, confidence that God would open our eyes to see greater things? God is amazing, and He is there to help us through every situation, to take our hand and lead us. God is looking for those who will do just that, now keep in mind, this is not a party, but it is a journey and one worth taking, following through, and finishing as the head and not the tail.

The church was and still is called to be the head, the leader, the living example of the character and nature of our perfect God, our creator, our redeemer, so why aren‟t we? Have we forgotten to take off our garments and allow Jesus to cloth us in His robe of righteousness? There is a choice to be made, whom will you serve, as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

What do you choose, think real hard on this, because God will hold you to your choice, life can get tough if you don‟t walk it, but think on that as well, it‟s always a good thing!

I want each of you to be blessed more abundantly with His abundant life than you could ever hope for. Come to know God the Father like youâ€&#x;ve never known Him before, as a real Father. God is not just some entity out there where you think He canâ€&#x;t be touched. God is waiting, waiting to show you His love, His mercy, and His grace, that you will carry it into the world and finally the church can lead the world. Then see the power of God as He changes through you, the ones called to do greater things, this world. Fall into His ways and give His love and see the efforts of satan crumble quickly. God bless each of you as you go forward, cry out to Him and see that He is true to His Word!!!

Romans chapter 8 verse 2 : by Kenneth White

"For the Law of the Spirit of Life(which is) in Christ Jesus(the law of our new being) has freed me from the law of sin and death."--Rom. Ch. vs.2...AMP.--The Book of Romans was written to the Christians in Rome about 57 A.D. It was written to encourage those who were genuine Christians that the Life of Christ within them is a process to remove all the effects of the curse mankind received when Adam fell in the beginning. The Law was given later to describe what sin is. There was no sin of adultery before the law as I understand it.

"Thou shalt not commit adultery" was the commandment from God.God described it and said don`t do it. The same with all the other Commandments.

The Law was from God and was designed to reveal the sin in man. The Law was not intended to save man from his sin.That would come later with Jesus coming to earth to take away the "sin nature". This life of Christ can only be experienced by the Christian with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit was given on the Day of Pentecost and continues down to this day for those who are predestined

and then to all of humanity. It is the Spirit which gives life. It is the Spirit working in us daily to free us from the hold of Adam and the carnal mind. It is the Spirit which is daily taking us to higher ground in God and setting us free from the confines of all that is earthly. There are those who will take this scripture and turn it around and proclaim since we are free from the law of sin and death then there is no more sin in their lives.I know some on FB who declare this but their lifestyle annuls any claims they have of eternal life already at work in them.Since they are free they live scandalous lifestyles not heeding the scripture which says "they turn the Grace of God into lasciviousness" . You will always have them around. They are lawless! Those who are pressing on into son ship realize the cost of laying down their lives and taking up their cross and following Christ.They know their calling and they are paying heed to the words of God and the dealings of God in their lives to remove every last remains of Adam from our being. We were born under a curse and we die when we are born again of the Spirit and the washing of the water of the Word. The combination of the two will start the regeneration process within us which may take a short time in some and a lifetime in others.However be sure of this one thing: The Spirit isn`t given to just make you feel good and speak in tongues: this is the earnest or "down payment' of the Spirit which means as you progress in God and leaving the flesh behind you enter into more of your inheritance in God. What a great future for those who are truly being born?

Concerned; But Not Consumed BY Ron Sanders

Police Department, Homicide Detective Sergeant, Ron Sanders, was riding high on a series of successful murder confessions, murder warrants and convictions--one case in particular was a serial killer of eleven (11) women the killer had caused great trepidation in the lives of Detroit and Highland Park residents. Ron was tough, admired and respected throughout the department and his community. Everything was going well for him, and getting better each day. Promoted several times during his career, he was in the prime of his life and at the top of his game. Ron was rising from local notoriety to national fame. He was well on his way to leaving behind the local scene and heading to Hollywood. He had signed a six figure movie contract, for the rights to his police career. He had even opted to have "DENZEL WASHINGTON" to play his role in the prospective movie. Imagine that! But, everything came to a crashing halt. The fame, fortune and accolades disappeared in an instant.

Detective Sergeant Sanders went from cracking cases, to picking up the pieces of his broken life overnight. .

In CONCERNED. BUT NOT CONSUMED, Ron. Sanders shares his victorious journey of rebuilding his life after a severe and devastating stroke.

A condition that would change his life as he once knew it, forever. Ron shares how God used the challenges he faced to take his life to a new level — ln Him. Ron moved from isolation, hopelessness and depression —in the wake of the debilitating stroke — to finding love, peace, joy and abundant life. .

It is Ron's sincere prayer and desire to acknowledge the Lord in all we do. His book teaches us that it is okay to be concerned with our well being, but not consumed by world. Ron shows you how to appreciate God in the little things and not take for granted the everyday blessings of Life.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: MISSION POSSIBLE The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me. Acts 20:24 (NCV) For many years I have wondered what is my life‟s mission, as it relates to this worldly life. I am a retired Detroit Police Officer. My last job in the Police Department was a homicide detective sergeant. I retired in 1993 after 23 years of service with the department, because of a stroke. The normal retirement service time is 25 years, but the stroke cut short my police career. The stroke left me with an intelligible speech impediment. The stroke also affected my ability to walk. The speech impediment, along with use of a walker to get around, left me with the thought that my world life‟s mission was over.

In August of 2004, a friend told me to listen to message on the internet a spiritual and inspirational audio cassette tape, and told me to listen to it. I listened to the tape and learned that the speaker had a disability, along with a speech impediment more pronounced than mine. Even with his speech impairment, this speaker was able to speak to hundreds of people a year, telling them about the "Good News, of Jesus!”

Because, of this inspirational speaker who overcame his physical challenges, and the above scripture, I have found a new and more meaningful mission for my life. That mission is for me to spread the "Good News, of Jesus.” For my Christian journey and mission, I have written, published and released the book titled "CONCERNED BUT NOT CONSUMED” (http://www.concernednotconsumed.com). I have launched a speaking ministry, giving inspiration, spiritual hope and motivation in my presentations to various groups. These groups include not only church and hospital audiences, but secular audiences as well. I have made inspirational, spiritual

and motivational presentations to stroke survivors in hospitals and churches.

Also, at the same time I am given the opportunity to spread the "Good News of Jesus.” I think, even with the speech impediment, I have discovered that I can complete my new mission in life that GOD has given me.

Prayer: Lord, please help and assist me to complete the mission that You have given me. Amen.

Thought for the Day Despite „any‟ disability or handicap, ‟anyone‟ can complete GOD‟S mission.

REFLECTIONS OF CATHERIN SKINNER STRENGTHEN MY SPIRIT LORD

Salvation is a Process: BY Shawn P. Lang

Salvation is three-step process that begins confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead-Romans 10:9. This is Justification. We are justified by the work that Christ put in on the cross. His death, burial and resurrection paid the price once and for all that we might have eternal life. If we do nothing else past justification, confessing and truly believing, we are saved. Unfortunately,

some become stuck in justification because they don’t care to go through tribulations, persecutions and all that requires us to pick up our cross and follow Jesus. Sometimes, ministries are established with leaders who have not been sanctified for service and the result is that their flock either outgrows them spiritually because of the living Word, or the blind lead the blind and they both fall into a ditch. At this point salvation is hanging in the balance because the heart hasn’t truly embraced believing in their heart that God raised Jesus from the dead with power; power that is given to all who believe and receive.

God doesn’t want us to stay stuck in the justification process.

He would like us to continue on in the second step: Sanctification-2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. Sanctification is the process of becoming set apart for service for the Kingdom of God. This is where the growth and spiritual maturity flourish if allowed. Sanctification comes with enduring the storms and trials of life through the power of the resurrection. This is a life-long process which continues throughout our earthly sojourn here on the earth. It is during sanctification that we are establishing a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. It is here that we can know the power of His resurrection and experience the fellowship of His suffering if willing. All those who will live godly in Christ shall suffer persecution. It is for this reason that many won’t truly become sanctified.

As we continue our journey and sanctification process, we wait earnestly, but patiently for the third step: Glorification-Romans 8:30. It is here that we will be absent from the body and present with the Lord and changed forever with the gift of eternal life! Nothing to do here but rejoice! Let’s redeem the time while it is still day. For when the night comes, no man can work. We must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. We must not only confess the Lord Jesus, but believe that God raised Him from the dead and allow Him to empower us to face this journey, this spiritual warfare, this life with power from on high. If we truly believe, we will allow Him to part the Red Seas in our lives and will have the faith to walk on water and watch our resources feed five thousand. If we don’t embrace Sanctification, we will not appreciate Glorification. Let the Lord have His way. Not our will but Your will be done O’ God.

ADDRESSING OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN BY: BISHOP STEVEN MAXWELL LIBERTY SR

I wrote this document about two years back under a different title ; but for a very different reason for why I am releasing it in the middle of the year .

Sometimes to understand the Father better we need to always relate to the best ways we can see Him clearly and as I always say ;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more simple to see Him through His characteristics as revealed through His names!

At the beginning of each year millions of people around the world make resolutions about how they wish life will be for them in the New Year. For many these are vain words or a meaningless ritual utter because others are doing the same. But the true meaning of a resolution goes beyond vain utterance. It is a prayer to God for how we want Him to lead us during the year; usually putting before Him a goal or project we intent to accomplish.

Now if you treat it as a prayer and direct it to the right place it actually works.

However the sad fact is that many people are not even sure of their prayers these days. They rather go and pay money to one pastor or occultist to pray for them. Well I got some news for you, if you are confuse about how to pray and get answers for yourself. I want you to know that, gone are the days

when one should pay for prayers or seek prayers from those claiming to be closer to God than you. Jesus Christ of Nazareth broke that rule and open up the mystery that explains how to pray, who to pray to, what to pray for, and where to direct our prayers. If you are really serious about getting answers to your prayers then; get answers to your first prayer using a formula provided by the Master Himself. Live to see your prayers answer as heaven open up for you releasing blessings that is rightfully yours; but were unclaimed because you did not know your birthright.

I know that there are times when we get confuse about the way we pray to God and many questions come to mind. Questions like: am I really saying the right words that will move God to answer my prayers? Do I have the right attitude? How should I address God in order for Him to answer me? It is written: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him. Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is nearâ&#x20AC;?. (Psa. 91:15; Isa. 55:6) These promises of assurance are in the Bible; but what makes me different? I want you to know today that you are not the first person to experience this kind of feeling; the disciples had the same problems when they first met Jesus Christ.

They walk with Jesus everyday and saw Him pray and great things happened, the blind saw, the lame walk, the sick were heal ;regardless of their illness, the demon possess were release from captivity and the dead rose again.

What kind of man is this; they asked each other, does He have a special formula for praying? Why is it when we pray these things do not happen as He does even if we use the very same words He did? That is why one day Christ decided to answer their concerns with a message deeper than what people think, when they view it on the surface; but if they dig deeper they will discover the keys to the mystery of prayers directed to Heaven or lost because it was misdirected. If you understand His teaching, believe Him and

applied His formula, you will definitely have the answers you seek to your many questions about your prayers life; and like the Disciples of Christ; apply them everyday, and make as much difference in all you do and get the very same results they got. God wants us to walk very close to Him; seeking Him at all times and finding Him. He wants to be there for us; always preparing tables for us in the very presence of our physical and spiritual enemies; but we must draw near to Him; understanding His desires and purpose for our lives and destinies; then He will open up our knowledge to Heavenly wisdom that will instruct us in many mysteries that are ours by birthright, but we can’t comprehend them because of our blindness from sin, that plant mistrust and doubt in our lives. One of our rights as a creation of God is to be able to communicate with the Creator at any hour day and night and get a response. But….

Jesus said: “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him”.

He went on to say: “After this manner therefore pray ye: „Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.

Amen‟.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses”.

Now critically examining the message above; let us first find out where we go wrong. Many times when we pray it is to impress others with how well we can pray or speak & pray in tongues; how well we can quote the Bible.

So it becomes like a competition of who is the best shouter or can pray in tongues. Christ said that type of prayer will go nowhere but stop in the ears of men. Christ encouraged us to enter into a closet and shut the door. What if I am in church; how do I do that? The closet is always with you where ever you go. God hears and see in your closet every movement; therefore He knows those unuttered prayers. Most of the time, the vain words we utter in public prayer are far from what we really want to say to God. Christ cautions us about using vain repetitions; like repeating Bible verses or other people sayings that does not originate with us. It is so false and does not represent you before God at all. God knows the real you and all that is in your heart because He created you. So He gives us a prayer model to follow when we pray. Many people have not seen or understood the true teachings behind this seemingly simple but complicated and effective model; they do just the same thing Christ warn us about not doing, repeating the prayer He taught us as an example. Christ instructed us to pray “after this manner”. What does “after this manner” mean to you, repeat after me? However before getting into the details; I want to deal with our prayer attitude a little. What should be the right attitude when we approach God? 1. Call upon Him in Truth. (Remember He knows you in and out. Stop pretending) “The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.”(Psa.145:18); There is freedom that comes when we perceive the truth ; we will experience liberation from many of our evil ways and thoughts that holds us down and keep us from attaining the heights of blessings; dominion; fruitfulness and multiplication that is rightfully ours in life. Why because the truth will serve s mirror that we can look at ourselves in. It is very possible for us to experience fully the keys to many things that are mysteries to us. One of the greatest mysteries about the truth is, understanding that everything we do or think is known by the Father in Heaven. If we fully understand this truth we can live on earth like in Heaven because we will be conscious of the Father presence with every step we take. It is written that God is Truth and those who worship Him must do so in Spirit and in Truth. Truth is a bright shining light that

exposes the dark deeds of men. If we must walk in Truth then we must accept the fact that we are ready for our dark deeds to be exposed to the entire world. Truth causes us to re-examine our lives and steps and repent of our evil pass and turn to God who is light. If we must fellowship; communicate and walk with God; we must except to be exposed to the light.

Once we begin walking with God we will overcome those things that actually block our heritage and birthright to subdue. I want you to realize that most of the things that hinders/limits our prayers are from within ourselves. We must realize that the Truth is a vital key to getting answers to our prayers.

2. Have Faith that God hears your prayers and will give you the best answer. Do not think Christ and the Prophets of old were speaking in parables or paradoxes when they said these words of reality: “For verily I say unto you, That, whosoever shall say unto this mountain. Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those thing which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, what thing soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them; Blesseth is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her root by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; And the apostles said unto the LORD , Increase our faith”. (Mk.11:23,24; Jer.17:7,8; Lk.17:5) ; no my dear friends ;they were very serious about releasing to us a very important key to our prayer life; and that key is TRUST/FAITH. Christ wants us to talk to Him as one big family of brothers and sisters whose desire is to get the best results for and from the Father in Heaven.

That is why He said: “And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the son”. Answering your prayers brings glory to the Father in Heaven.

3. Be persistent: do not give up; no matter what you see, hear, or feel. “And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he

wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed”. (Gen. 32:24-28) Hold fast to your God in prayers; never letting go of His feet until He gives you an answer.

4. Turn it all over to God in humbleness and rely on His power and strength; believing He is capable of delivering you out of you distress or give you your needs. For it is written: “Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise”; for He promised, “ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”.(1Chr.16:11,35;2Chr.7:14); However as you might have notice here, there is a condition attached; you must be willing to give up something and that thing is to turn from the evil ways of this world and be willing to commit your life to following the principles of the kingdom of God. Remember that true humility is when you totally agree with the true, and here I mean the true of God‟s Word.

5. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in your prayers. Open yourself up to the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will give you the right words to speak; For it I written “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching there unto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”; (Rom. 8:26; Eph. 6:18) 6. Appreciate God for everything happening at that movement; regardless of the prevailing circumstances: For it I written: “Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God; Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (Col: 4:2; Plil 4:6 1Thess 5:17, 18). One thing is certain about our relationship with God; He wants us

to be appreciative for the little things He does for us everyday. Our God is very jealous over His creation and share His Glory with no man, Angel, creatures above or below, spirits or demons; that is why we must always prove our loyalty by thanking and appreciating Him in all circumstances.

7. Go boldly before the Throne of your Father and laid down your burdens and He will help you; For it I written: “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Heb 4:16) He created you in His image and likeness and wants you to approach Him with freedom as a child approaches their parent.

8. And lastly it is always very important to wait patiently upon the LORD; God never answers prayer late He does not send you a wrong answers for our prayers. It is written: “The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens”. “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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”.(Lam.3:25,26,41; Isa. 40:28-31)

In order to get the real meaning of the prayer Christ taught that day we must again take a closer look at the attributes of God. In order to do so; I will have to return to the Hebrew roots; using some of the Names of God to clarify what the Master was talking about that day. He begins the Prayer with “Our Father”. Why “Our Father” and not My Father since I am also His child. He was pointing us to a title of God. ELOHIM: “Our “Creator, Preserver, Transcendent, Mighty and Strong” ; EL SHADDAI: JEHOVAH:

“God Almighty” or "God All Sufficient” ; "I AM WHO I AM" or 'I WILL BE WHO I WILL”) ;

FATHER: . Note here that Christ was pointing us to God who was more than a Father; capable of handling not only my problem but the problems of the entire universe. There is nothing too big or small that He cannot do. Because He is all His Name connotes; you should have no problem placing your faith in Him. I know if we human develop a project and it is successful we love it very much and care for it. It is the same with the Father; He created you for a divine purpose and therefore cares for you very much. It is written : “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him”?(Matt.7:11). We are the work of His hands and He loves us very much. The prophet Isaiah put it this way: “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand”. (Isa. 64:8) He who shape us the way we are knows our needs, desires, strength, and weakness. Not only does He know; but He is capable of solving any giving situation concerning us. When we go to Him in prayer we should always address Him as the Father of all living things and indeed the universe. Why? Because He is our Creator, in charge of preserving our lives on earth as long as He wishes; and controls every living thing and element of the universe. We must therefore address Him with admiration, adoration, and honour Him for His works and believe He is bigger than our problems and be ready and willing to except any answer He gives us.

Christ continued: “which art in Heaven”. Earth & Hell boost of many little gods (evil spirits and demons calling themselves gods) gods; but there is only one God in Heaven. Our God reign the entire universe from His Throne in Heaven. It is His dwelling place; His Holy Temple. It is written: “The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all; Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.; The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.” (Pa.103:19; 1Chr. 16:31; Pa. 11:4) When you look at the Heavens you can see the Glory of ELOHIM: Our “Creator, Preserver, Transcendent, Mighty and Strong” and you will never see the end of it from the beginning nor fully understand its design. The men of this world/scientist of different types have study it for centuries and have come

up with changing theories everyday ; disproving the older ones. You can see the Glorious artwork and design of His handiwork. The laws that He decreed to control the motions of each and every thing He put in place are perfect and failest not. When you want to address our Creator; Christ urge us to direct our prayers to the very Temple and Throne of ; EL SHADDAI: “God Almighty” or "God All Sufficient” for solutions. Any other place you address your prayers will definitely not be for our God; OUR FATHER , who dwells in Heaven. It is written: “If I shut up the heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin, an will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attend unto the prayer that is made in this place”.(2Chr.7:13-15) It is quite clear that in order to draw EL SHADDAI: “God Almighty” or "God All Sufficient” attention you can not belong to the devil and his associates . You have to be one of His worshippers or willing to be a part of His Kingdom. Does that mean He does not love the others? He love and care for them too; yet giving them a chance to repent and come over. But as a member of His Kingdom we have priority and His ears, because we know and believe in Him; and His eyes and ears are open to attend to those prayers directed to His Throne in Heaven. Indeed to draw EL SHADDAI: “God Almighty” or "God All Sufficient” we are to know Him enough in order to place our faith in Him; address Him properly , direct our prayers to Him and be a part of His Kingdom.

Christ continued: “Hallowed be thy Name”: JEHOVAH: "The Self-Existent One," "I AM WHO I AM" or 'I WILL BE WHO I WILL This Name was revealed to Moses at the burning bush according to Exodus chapter 3 of the Holy Bible. For many God Name is too Holy and sacred to be uttered; therefore it is written YHWH. When we go to God in prayer we are to remember that He is the Holy One. He is also referred to as KADOSH: "Holy One" (Psa. 71:22; Isa. 40:25, 43:3, 48:17). It is written: “Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like

unto thee, glorious in Holiness”? We are to recognize and proclaim the Holiness of JEHOVAH: . It does not mean that if you with hold your praises, recognition or adoration for His Holiness; no one will do so.

The Apostle John describes a unique form of worship that JEHOVAH: receives in heaven twenty four hours around the clock; non-stop.

Angels and celestial beings bow to Him day and night in recognition of His Holiness. “And four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come; And when those beast give glory and honour, and thanks to Him that sat on the Throne, and who liveth for ever and ever; The four and twenty elders fell down before Him that sat on the Throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the Throne, saying , Thou are worthy , O Lord ( JEHOVAH: ) , to receive glory and honour, and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created”.

JEHOVAH: is not only glorified for His Holiness but also for His righteousness. On earth inspired servants of His Kingdom Hail Him for both His Holiness and righteousness. JEHOVAH: known as; TSADDIQ:

who is also

"Righteous One" (Psa. 7:9); or

JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU "The Lord Our Righteousness" (Jer. 23:5, 6, 33:16) should also always be highly praise as a God of righteousness each time we address Him in prayer . It is written; “I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe to my Maker; Clouds and darkness are round about Him: righteousness and judgement are the habitation of His Throne; Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgements. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law I the truth.. The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting”.(Job 36:3; Psa. 97;2; 119:40, 137,142,144).

Christ continued: “Thy Kingdom Come” The original purpose we were created on this earth by ELOHIM:

in His very image and

likeness was to established a divine link; the Kingdom of God on earth. In this Kingdom man was to have total dominion over everything on earth.

There was to be total peace and stability, uniting every living creature on the face of earth; where the lion and lamb could live in peace. In that kingdom sickness, pain, dying, envy etc were absent. Man was created to have dominion over everything and in return just worship, praise the Maker and live in harmony with the rest of creation; but that golden opportunity slip out of our hands when we allowed ourselves to fall prey to the tricks of the deceiver. However ELOHIM: being merciful decided to reinstate us back to this original state; through a voluntary process. While on earth (during His three years Ministry) Christ spend majority of His time teaching and preparing us for this great reunion with our Maker.(Matt.13:24-3,38-43; 13: 31,32;25:113;18:3;19:14;19:23,24;13:47-50;18:23-35;Mk. 4:26-29;Lk.14:16-24;19:1227;Jn.18:36 etc.) It is one of ELOHIM: most important purpose for our lives. Accepting and being a citizen of the Kingdom of God is very important and must be acknowledge each time we pray to Him. It is like renewing your loyalty to your country each time you salute your flag or hear your national anthem play. How do know that we are truly citizens of the Kingdom of God.; Renewing your loyalty to every day even get the attention of the angels of God. It is written that the Angels rejoice each time without failing once one lost soul returns to the Kingdom of God. The assurance that you are a citizen of the Kingdom of God; does not only give you a direct link to the Throne of God but a ticket for life after death.

Christ noted that we must always mention the Kingdom of God and our relationship to it each time we pray.

Christ continued: â&#x20AC;&#x153;thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.â&#x20AC;? What is the will of God for our lives? As He made us in His image and likeness; He Bless us to fruitful in everything we undertake on the face of the earth. It is our heritage that every project we undertake on the face of this earth should bear fruits. As long as you live on the face of this earth, every seed you plant in your life must multiply. Every imaginable type of creativity or invention projects ect; should bloom in your hands as long as it relates to this earth. It is your rights to fill every inch of the earth and live any part you wish. Instead of being subdued by problems, sickness, joblessness,

homelessness, broken marriages, and evil caused by principalities and powers of darkness; you were created to subdue everything that moves within this atmosphere under your feet. It was not the will of God that you kill and eat creatures on earth, or in the sky of your atmosphere; not animals eat one another but that there be perfect harmony between all on earth. It is written: “And God said, Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat and it was so”.(Genesis 1:29,30) There shouldn‟t have been strive ; hunger; elements of nature to defeat us. God created the earth with sufficient food and space to feed and host mankind; but sin blinded us and we lost our ability to love; to be satisfy with Once We cross over that bridge that takes us back to our original heritage; there is nothing to stop us from claiming the blessings of fruitfulness God originally provided for us. In sin we lost this right and noble heritage. We began to dominate each other instead of the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field and creatures of the sea.

We are creatures of the earth and that is what we will be while we walk on the face of this earth; however it is very possible to see, feel and speak with God as you do to one another here on earth. How is that possible? All you have to do is to go into your closet; which is your heart and look with the eyes of your heart. Yes it is mystery of Heaven that you can be as close to your Father as Abraham; Isaac; or Jacob or any of the Prophets you have heard or read bout. This is because God has made it possible through Jesus Christ for us to come as close to Him as we desire in life. If it is really your desire to get very close to Him you have to lay side anything that will hinder your intimacy with Him and give yourself fully to pursuing that desire and definitely you will get what you seek from God. Then you have attained your goal of coming close to Him; for He promised in His word that all else that you need in this journey of life will be yours For It is written: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God; and His righteousness; and all these things ill be added unto you; Blessed re they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled”. (Matt. 6:33; 5:6) This was mystery learned by all the prophets of God long before Christ came to the world to

lay a Bridge back to heaven. Job wrote: I would seek unto God, and unto God would commit my cause”. (Job 5:8); Daniel said: I set my face unto the Lord God; to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes (Daniel 9:3); The Prophet Isaiah quoted God :( I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. (Isa.45:19,22);

Christ reminds us that it is the original will of God that the Children of the Kingdom reclaim these rights, for God never changes and once He pronounced them they remind ours. In order to make sure no one miss out on the opportunity to claim their birthright; He provided bridge for us to cross over to Him once more. All we have to do is to reclaim our birthrights and remind God in prayers that we are ready to take possession of them.

We are ready to subdue our problems and difficulties and take control as a child of the King. It is written; Jesus said: “and these signs shall follow them that believe;(Children of the Kingdom of God) In my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak in new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it ill not harm them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover”.(Mk.16:17,18) Once we cross over that bridge that takes us back to our original heritage; there is nothing to stop us from claiming the blessings of fruitfulness, multiplication; and dominion over every other thing dwelling in the atmosphere of earth. So if you do not hinder the will of God in your life by your own attitude towards Him; nothing can stop your prayers.

Christ continued: “Give us this day our daily bread”. One of the Names of God is JEHOVAH-JIREH: "The Lord will Provide." .

This name jireh can be interpreted as; to see, provide or fore see. It should always be to the back of our minds when we call on Heaven that we are calling on a God that provides; always on the right time and adequate enough to keep us alive. Because He is also known as EL ROI: "God of Seeing" (Gen. 16:13)”; who sees our every movement far ahead

; He is in the best place to determine our needs. He watches us as a hen watches over her chicks. But I want to join David in the bible who describes Him far better than I will ever be able to do. He described Him like this “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want”. Yes SHEPHERD: Psa. (23, 79:13, 95:7, 80:1, 100:3; Gen. 49:24; Isa. 40:11). When God is your Shepherd, He is responsible for your daily bread. He is responsible to provide a means in those times when we feel we are lost, walking that last mile in life and sees no light. However this is a two way street as I noted above; you have to be open when speaking to Him. When we are weak with worry and can‟t seems to know the right direction ; the Shepherd/ provider can be JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH: "The Lord is There" (Ezek. 48:35). Yes right next to you ready to assist if you believe and take His hands. Give Him the chance to be EYALUTH: "Strength" Psa. 22:19. There are many times in life when we need extra strength to move forward. Nothing can equal the strength of our God if we believe and call upon Him during those dark hours. When you ask Him about your daily bread it includes the means by which you are getting that daily bread.

It covers His giving you children and caring for them. It covers those times when you are happy, sad, working, jobless, have a wonderful home, homeless, any day, any situation you find yourself in during this walk. Give it to Him directly and let Him be the shield that covers you when the journey of life turns sour and friends are running away from you; families avoiding your calls and fingers pointing at you. He can provide your daily bread in those times. It is written: “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother

of children. Praise ye the LORD. The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field”.

(Psa.127:1; 128:2-8; 113:6-9; 145:8;147:8,9,13,14; Zech. 8:12;10:1) Yes all you have to do is to ask and you shall not lack. He is ready to provide for you.

Christ continued. “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” This is one of the most difficult parts of this prayer for many people. It is the part that blocks most of our prayers from Heaven. Many of us claimed to be in Christ and covered with His blood but it is a known impediment because of our hard hearts. This part of this prayer has a blessing and a curse. „Forgive me LORD if I have the heart to forgive my friends‟. Now we must bear in mind that sin divides us from God and in order to reclaim His blessings we need His mercy but His one rule is that if you must obtain His mercy, you must also forgive those who hurt you. This does not mean those people will go unpunished; no, never; for it is written “Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. Recompense to no man evil for evil.

Provide things honest in the sight of all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good, But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou

shalt forgive him. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses”.(Rom. 12:14,17,19,21; Lk. 6:35-37; 17:3,4;Mk.11:25) This has been a major obstacle that have block many prayers today. Many pray with anger in their hearts and unforgiving sins that have been nurture for days, months or years. Christ in this pray model is implying that under no circumstance can such persons be free of sin; because once you are a part of the family of the Kingdom of God ; you must adhere to the rules of the Kingdom. Because it is so difficult to do; God looks with favour upon those who does this and answer their prayers.

Christ continued: “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”.

Temptation entered the world not through God but through the deceiver ;from the very beginning of the world. “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat”.

Someone asked me before; why didn‟t God stop Eve before she ate the

fruit? Why did God have to put the tree there? First of all the tree was not the only special tree in the garden. There was also the tree of life in that garden. As they were pure they could eat of it until they were mature enough in the sight of God. God issue the warning as He welcome them in the garden. That is just the same as it today; for many have the word of God as a guide but want God to come and personally tell them. Many continue to dodge around it until it is too late. God does not lead you into temptation and never allows you to walk into one you can not handle if you try. Eve could have said no and Satan would not force her to eat it. It has no power to force her. Everyday we meet this same situation in our lives and many times we fall because of our inability to resist the Devil with the weapon or guidelines God has given us in His word. How Can He who created you want to destroy you through tempting you to go wrong? How can a pure Holy God lead you to do impure and unholy things? One of the names of God is KANNA: "Jealous" (zealous). Ex. 20:5, 34:14; Deut. 5:9; Isa. 9:7; Zech. 1:14, 8:2. Because God is jealous over His creation He always protects them. It is written: “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake” He always led you to the right places but sometimes we chose the wrong direction. Many times when I read the story of the lost sheep in the Bible; I see a loving Shepherd but a selfish, greedy, proud, arrogant little sheep ,who went astray because even though the Shepherd lead it to green grass; it selfishly decided to go its own direction where it would eat alone and have more than the others. So the little sheep like us today yielded to the temptations of fresher grass, that it could eat alone and got lost probably falling into a hole. Now I don‟t have problem with the Master restoring it; but with the fact remains that while the Master was in search of it , any wild animal could fall among the rest of the flock and lives would have been lost because of a greedy,selfish sheep. Who lead it into temptation? That is why Christ says when you pray remember to ask Him to help you avoid temptation; but, if you fall; to deliver you, like the Shepherd did. Delivering you is not limited to only you falling but also to those powers and principalities of darkness, enemies laying traps in your path, and unfavourable life situations. David speaking about this: noted that when

you are a member of the Kingdom of God you can rely on Him to deliver you anytime, anyplace in any situation. He noted this about our God called PALET: "Deliverer" Psa. 18:2.; ZUR: Deut. 32:18; Isa. 30:29. ; EYALUTH:

"God our Rock"

"Strength" Psa. 22:19; MAGEN:

"Shield" Psa. 3:3, 18:30. ; JEHOVAH-SABAOTH: "The Lord of Hosts" The commander of the angelic host and the armies of God. Isa. 1:24; Psa. 46:7, 11; 2 Kings 3:9-12; Jer. 11:20 (NT: Rom. 9:29; James 5:4, Rev. 19: 11-16. ;and JEHOVAH-ROHI: "The Lord Our Shepherd" Psa. 23, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over” God is big enough to deliver from any and every situation; therefore Christ noted that when we pray we should always remember to note this factor.

Christ concluded His prayer model like this:” For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen”. We are to never forget that our God is the owner of the Kingdom and we bow to none else. He is MELEKH: "King" Psa. 5:2, 29:10, 44:4, 47:6-8, 48:2, 68:24, 74:12, 95:3, 97:1, 99:4, 146:10; Isa. 5:1, 5, 41:21, 43:15, 44:6; 52:7, 52:10. We are to note and repeat our allegiance each time we pray before we slip. God power is limitless as I have try to prove from few of the attributes associated with His names. Yes we can proudly boast of His Supreme Power of faithfulness, Fatherhood, Glory, Goodness, Grace, Guidance, Holiness, of being Immutable, of being Impartial, Incomprehensible, infinite, Jealousy, He is our Judge and His Justice, Our King, God of knowledge, longsuffering, His Mercy, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Perfection; Personality, Power, Providence of God, Overruling Interpositions, His Mysteriousness, His Righteousness, Our Saviour, Sovereignty, Spirit, His Truth , Ubiquitous, Unchangeable, Unity , Unsearchable, His Voice, His Works, His Wisdom.

I want you to remember that it is only He who name is too sacred to pronounce can answer our prayers if we follow the path He has laid down for us. We must recognize that He is our only Father (collectively); direct our prayers to Him alone in Heaven; Praise, Glorified ,and honour him for His Holiness each time we pray; We are to be members of His Kingdom in order to regain our lost privileges; We are to believe and have faith to trust the results He gives to our prayers; Seek Him for our daily resources; and forgive each other in order to be forgiven, ask Him to direct the path you walk on in this life and to fight your battles ;spiritually and physically; and just close with praising Him for being the only, everlasting King of the Kingdom of which you are a subject, honouring Him for His Power immeasurable and unlimited, giving Him glory along with all creatures on earth and in Heaven. If you can follow this simple guideline given to us by Christ Himself; nothing will stop your prayers.

I WISH YOU A BLESSED FATHERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DAY!
