Transforming Presence

Beloved Ones, do not remember the former things because yesterday is past and cannot be changed.  Do not worry about tomorrow because today’s troubles are enough for you to overcome and tomorrow will have its own troubles.  My name is “I AM”, not “I WAS” or “I WILL BE” because I AM with you in the present to help you overcome.

Your life is made up of moments.  As you come to Me and give Me your mind, will, and emotions in each moment you will experience the “exchanged life” of Christ…My abundantly rich spiritual life, full of resurrection power in exchange for your natural life with all of its troubles, weakness, and failures.  As you come to Me, believing in My Presence with you, looking to Me in each moment for your life then you are transformed from glory to glory.  Each moment that you look TO Me is another step in the transformation process of looking LIKE Me.  Today if you hear My voice, do not harden your hearts as rebellious Israel did in the wilderness, but rather, know that I AM with you to help you.  Present your life to Me moment by moment as spiritual worship.  Present your mind, will, and emotions to Me in your moments today and live a life of transformation.

CIA

Beloved Ones, the enemy has given his Central Intelligence Agents an assignment to stir up chaos, irritation, and anger through external circumstances. His intent is to negatively influence your relationship with Me and others close to you in a way that takes you out of alignment with the Kingdom purpose and fruitfulness that I have for you in this season. Distraction has always been a valuable scheme of the enemy in order to make an inroad for setting up strongholds. Do not fall prey to his schemes, but rather watch and pray so that you do not fall into temptation.
Your counterintelligence mission is to center yourself internally by My Holy Spirit, lifting up your eyes to see Me as your help, for I AM not the author of disorder but of peace. I will give you the understanding you need to move in the opposite spirit of Christly order, internal peace, and amity towards others. Being centered in the peace which passes all human understanding will expose the enemy for what he is and diffuse his plots. Being strengthened by My Spirit of understanding will empower you to press in to Me and press on for the Kingdom purpose and fruitfulness that I have for you. Trust in Me. Keeping your mind fixed on Me is the key to remaining in My peace. The steadfastness of your faith in Christ is what will cause you to stay the course in this tumultuous time. Give no ground to the enemy, but rather, contend with him by My Spirit. I AM with you!

Double Grace

Beloved Ones, this is a season of a double portion of My grace for those who will humble themselves to come to Me. This grace will be empowerment for you to step into those things that I have called you to be and to do. In these days, I AM working FAST to perfect that which concerns you and that which will propel you into your God-given destiny. It is a season of acceleration and activity in the spiritual realm which will manifest in the natural as well. Those who come into alignment with My will and purposes will be in the flow of heavenly energy for the release of the Kingdom through My righteous authority and anointing.
It is yet the early morning hours before “noon” prophetically speaking of the times and seasons. What I mean by this is that the highest, brightest, and finest hour of My Kingdom in the earth is yet to come. I AM working FAST in these days so that the dawn of My Light increases as the enemy’s darkness increases. I AM increasing vision to My people so that you can write the vision plainly on the tablets of your hearts and others may run with it.
Mountains will be removed with shouts of, “Grace, grace!” as Jesus comes into His proper place in My church. Worldliness will be put off as humility is put on. What could not be accomplished in natural strength will be accomplished by My Spirit as the supernatural comes forth with greater consistency. As My people draw near and submit themselves to My Word, faith will increase and what is believed (in the true sense of the word as by living from faith to faith) will then be seen.

Crushing Satan Underneath Your Feet

Beloved Ones, self-doubt and past regret are the two walls of a very deep and narrow hole. In this position you are below ground zero. There is no way to go forward and going back is impossible as well. The only way out is up.
Have you fallen down into the darkness of this hole of self-doubt and past regret and there was no one to help? Look up, I AM your help! Have you wandered into this desolate place and waited for someone to lift you out? Look up, I AM your help! The darkness of despair may envelope you in that place, but far above you is the light of hope. Look up, for the Lord upholds all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down. I AM the sovereign God who redeems your life from the pit of destruction and works all things together for your good and My purposes. Call out to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know and have not seen.
I have told you that the only way out is up. You already have everything that you need to lift yourself up and out of that hole. NOT by the strength of your arms for the reach is too high for you, but by the truth of My Word which I have sent to heal you and to deliver you from all of your destructions. STAND on My Word! Look to Me and lift your foot from standing in that place below ground zero. Look to the light of the truth of My healing Word of deliverance and take one step up at a time… lift your foot up and step on self-doubt… then lift your other foot up and step on past regret. Take another step on the steep wall of self-doubt and another step on the other equally steep wall of past regret… one step of faith at a time… moving in the direction of My light… the truth of My Word…up and up… until you are out on level ground again, bathed in the light of My truth, and crushing the dark underground of self-doubt and past regret underneath your feet.

WORD FOR 2012

2012 is a year of INCREASE, of JUDGMENT, and of AUTHORITY. It is not the end of the world as some have predicted, but it is the end of worldliness in My people who are called My Church. I AM making a distinction between that which is spiritual and that which is natural. He who is spiritual will arise and rightly judge all things by My Spirit so that he may know what has been freely given to him by God; yet, he himself will be rightly judged by no one because the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are spiritually discerned. The fear of God will increase among those who are lovers of the truth, who continue to persevere through patience and faith. They will find increased discernment to see and receive those things which I have prepared for those who love Me. There will be an increased harvest of My Kingdom through those who have sown to the Spirit. There will also be an increased harvest of fleshly corruption through those who have sown to the flesh. Those who have pleasure in unrighteousness will increase in deception through the hardness of their unrepentant hearts.
The hidden things of darkness will be revealed as light increases. This will bring a separating out of the things which are true from those which are false and will result in a more determinedly righteous alignment for increased authority and power of My Kingdom to manifest its flow in the earth. Fulfill the pleasure of My goodness and the work of faith with power. You are worthy of this calling according to My grace.

Ever Wonder Why God Allows The Things That Happen To Happen?

Sometimes "free will" sucks. The end result of sin (when it has completed its course) is death. God gave us free will as a gift so that we could choose to love because without choice we would just be robots. Love always gives a choice. He created all things "good" and created humans for companionship because He wants us to know Him...Who alone is the source of goodness and life. He entrusted all that He created to be good to human beings to maintain through right relationship with Him and told them to take dominion in the earth and bring it under His authority (His good Kingdom rule of righteousness). Adam and Eve chose instead to give their power over to Satan's influence (evil) by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good AND evil thus inviting evil into the earth to coexist with all that God created to be "good". Now sin flourishes in the earth through people who choose to exercise their "right" to know and to do good and evil.
Fortunately God had a plan of redemption through His Son, Jesus, who came to earth as a human being to live a sinless life (choosing only good) and through the knowledge of the perfect love of the Father became the ultimate sacrifice for sin so that we could be reconciled to God in right relationship (because He is loving AND just...a just God cannot allow sin (evil) to continue without a penalty but a loving God cannot be unforgiving towards those who repent of their wrongs. So in Jesus we have a way to have the penalty of our sins paid for and to come back into right relationship with a living and good God who gives us a life of goodness for eternity with Him who choose to surrender to His authority. We are adopted into His family through a spiritual “rebirth”. We then, also have the honor of being His representatives in the earth to make Him known to those who don't know His goodness and through obedience to His rule (as revealed in His word, the Bible and by the indwelling power of His Holy Spirit which He gives to us when we choose to accept Jesus' life exchanged for ours) we become His ambassadors in the earth while we are here to bring His righteousness (His "rightness") where we can because of those that our lives touch and influence. We endure with Christ in suffering for a little while on earth looking forward to eternal life with Him and doing His work while we can to bring as many as possible with us into Glory (Heaven)!
And THAT is the true meaning of Christmas!

Wrestling In The Presence vs. Worshiping In The Presence

Beloved Ones, when you meet with Me face to face, is it for wrestling or for worship? I will bless either way because you are Mine and because it is My nature to bless. I can bless wherever I find faith to believe in Me, but…the results will be different according to your faith, your focus, and the kind of fruit-bearing seed that you are sowing. There is a sowing and reaping principle in everything. When you sow to the flesh, you reap of the flesh; and when you sow to the spirit, you reap of the spirit.
Jacob met Me face to face in Peniel and he wrestled with Me for a blessing. He wrestled with Me until the break of dawn thinking that I did not want to bless him. I remained resisting him because I longed to give him a greater blessing than the one that he sought. He had an agenda. He sought a natural blessing and in the end that is what he got. He was redeemed from his old identity and restored to all that was rightfully his in the natural. However, he walked away from the face of God with a limp, with his life preserved, but out of alignment with the supernatural flow of the Kingdom which comes through prioritizing the Presence of God in worship.
Joshua met Me face to face near Jericho. He also had an agenda…to know whether I was for him or for his adversaries. The difference is that when Joshua saw Me for who I AM, he laid down his agenda, bowed his face to the holy ground, and worshiped the Presence of the One who had come and was with him. He took off his sandal, staying in that place and posture of worship…dwelling in the Presence and lingering there until I spoke heavenly revelation for him to do otherwise. He stayed in alignment with the Presence of the Holy One and afterward he was witness and participant to the supernatural flow of the Kingdom that felled the walls surrounding Jericho.
Prioritizing worshiping My Presence sows into the spirit because I AM spirit. It is in worshiping My Presence that you are transformed from glory to glory…from the glory of redeemed natural identity to the glory of transformed supernatural identity. It is the difference between being empowered with natural strength and being empowered with supernatural strength. It is the difference between having your life preserved or My life transferred.
