State of Grace

This past year, I have already shared with you about God's next move. A move of the heavenly Father’s grace and power that the world has never seen before. I've seen it starting in my own life this past year. God said, my life (and others) would change, not because of how good, smart or spiritual we are, but because of His awesome love, grace and mercy. It will be God the Father doing what He does best—exalting His sons and daughters and loving the lost souls.
 

On February the second, I was at David's house for a weekly Bible study, there was ten of us there. David asked each of us a question that God has often asked him, "What do you want?" Therefore, each of us gave our answer to that question. I said, "I want to know more of God's heart and to be able to share His love in such a way that it would change people’s lives. However, my soul wants many other things, but most of all I want to find contentment in being a friend of God."
 

After everyone spoke, David prophesied God's heart for each of us. For me the Lord said, " Israel is about to embark on the greatest adventure of his life. It will start with a visitation of the Father, and with that everything would change." Wow! I can't wait. It's what I have been waiting for so long.
 

God is raising up sons and daughters, like you and me, to take their rightful position at the Father's right hand. We are not only flesh, but spiritual beings, and neither are we limited by time and space. All that Christ is and has is at our disposal—His love, power, health, prosperity and authority and much more. There is nothing that He is withholding from us or that we are lacking as His sons.
 

Christ's nature and DNA was infused into our spirit and body the moment we asked Jesus into our heart. At that time we were made a "new creation." All things became new, we just didn't realize or understand how all that worked, because we listened to some ignorant ministers and the lies of satan who would try to keep us from reaching our full potential and purpose here on earth. We've lived a life much lower than we were meant too, but God is changing all that. By faith, we can live above circumstances, the cosmos, the flesh and most of all satan, from our heavenly place in Christ.   

"And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 2:6)

Jesus told Pilot that His kingdom was not of this world and neither is it ours. Jesus was and is establishing the Kingdom of God on earth. That is why He came here, and through us His brothers and sisters we too have been given the opportunity to do our part as fellow workers and to reveal the heavenly Father.
 

This next move of God has started, despite the small beginnings we now see. The anointing on His sons and daughters will change lives for many generations to come. This anointing trumps any "gift, gifting, position in ministry or possession, that many believers once thought were important. Now we're learning it comes to those who sit and wait in the presence of Jesus Christ, the heavenly Father.
 

This "State of Grace" will embrace the wounded souls, the broken hearted and the fatherless. It will go into every area of life and every religion; to break the power of darkness and false mindset, and set people free. Lives and bodies will be restored by the Great Restorer, Jesus Christ himself who said, "It is finished."
 

We've been living and operating in His grace, and its only going to get greater. The power of our love comes from the supernatural realm of Jesus' blood and God's grace. There's a great movie called State of Grace, about two young Mormon missionaries. It's a classic and one of the most powerful and anointed films I've seen after The Passion.
 

Note: God has chosen people and will use unexpected source to reveal the message of His love and grace. And He will continue to use whatever means necessary to reach all His children. The Father is calling us home and out of Babylon, the world (cosmos) systems, including all religion and denominations; and into the family of God.

Til Death Do Us Part

The other day I went to a barber salon. Now that may not sound like a big deal to you, but it was for me. This was the first time in over thirty four years, because my wife had always cut my hair. I had been given a SportClips haircut coupon at a hockey game that we had been given tickets. I'm not a hockey fan, but it was a fun date. Later on, my wife encouraged me to use the coupon, and so I did. For only ten dollars I got the works—haircut, massage chair while my hair was washed, scalp massage and hot towels applied to my face. Wow, I never felt so pampered. 

The young lady cutting my hair was in her mid twenty's and was getting married in a couple of weeks. As she worked on me, we talked about a number of things, including the kind of books we read, how we each met our mate and raising children. I also mention that it doesn't really matter how long you have known each other before you get married, because you'll have the rest of your life to do that. But you will also encounter many unexpected things that will make it challenging for both of you, including the possibility of unfaithfulness and willing to forgive each others mistakes. She said that would never happen and explained. She told her fiancée that she didn't want to go to prison, because if he ever cheated on her she would kill him. I said, "what?" And she repeated it, "I would kill him,” and then she laughed. 

Now that's not how a marriage should end. However, my haircut was finished and it was time for me to leave. I thanked her and gave her a hug and said God bless you. All we can do sometimes is plant a seed and let the Holy Spirit do the rest.

After I left there I thought more about her statement. To me, a threat doesn't sound like a very good way to start a marriage. But then neither are many other ways. I don't claim to be an authority on marriage. However, I am married and I've personally seen and heard of a lot of other marriages in my sixty plus years. I also have my opinions and preferences like everyone else. Yet, I also now know the heart of the heavenly Father a little better. And so I have written a small book on the subject of marriage, based on the Bible and God's heart. However, I have not published it nor have posted it on my blog. Maybe someday, and maybe I'll have more incite to add to it later on. But I will share a few highlights on what is a huge subject.

Marriage is a lifetime commitment that should end when you die, not in a court of law. It should not be entered into based on human emotions, or physical attraction, but on following God's will first. Then the emotions and the physical will follow at the right time and place. Most marriages haven't happen that way, including my own. I just didn't care as much as I should have, because I was not taught how to honor God or a women the way I should, and because of that I made a lot of selfish decisions in the past.

 "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." (Hebrews 10:16)

Marriage is a covenant established by God, it is also a picture of our heavenly covenant (Ephesian 5:23). Our emotions and desires as human beings will always be there, but we must make them subject to His will and plans regarding anything especially marriage. Unfortunately, many people don't understand this and the result leads to all kinds of abuse, and too often divorces in every culture around the world. 

The main thing that helps marriages is God's love and forgiveness. This is conveyed through communication; not only in just words, but also in our actions. That love will honor and respect and it always forgive. It's was spelled out to us by the Apostle Paul in First Corinthians Chapter 13—this is "true love" agape love. 

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." (Corinthians 13:4-8)

Know this that when the right time comes for God's children to marry, He does not necessarily guarantee that a marriage will be a "happy every after" experience, even though that is what we would all hope for. There are many rewards and benefits to marriages, but there will also be challenging times and humbling situations. They can be hard and very painful at times and some can even be horrendous. The Bible gives us many examples of people whose marriage didn't go as they had hoped, yet it was still God's will. There was Jacob's, Samson's, David's, Ezekiel's, and even Mary and Joseph's to name a few, but they were still all a part of God's greater plan.

When we act presumptuous in getting married, the outcome can be even more disastrous as we have all seen or experienced. But the bottom line—marriage is all about love and forgiveness. You can't separate the two. It's just like when a man and a women come together; they become one. It was all in God's design, and what God has joined together let no man separate, except for God Himself.

Note: God's love, grace and mercy is always there to help us through anyone experiences, regardless of what happens or the outcome.

The Covenant of Love

What do you think of when you hear the word LOVE?  Do you think of the heavenly Father, Jesus and the cross, or are your thoughts more carnal or emotional? God's love is pure, strong and it is covenantal, and it was sealed by the blood of Jesus. He is our All in all, are Everything. Jesus Christ is LOVE. The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

"The entire covenant contract God gave to mankind, The Holy Bible, is based upon the ancient Abrahamic Covenant. Jesus through the mystery of the cross, became the sacrifice that for ever sealed that pact. There is no further treaty anyone can strike up with God. Seeking people can only come to Him on His own terms, through the already-cut covenant between Himself and Jesus. To banish the stars from the sky would be the only means to alter the Abrahamic Pack. Circumstances and people may come and go, but the Abrahamic Pack stand forever."

The previous paragraph was from a small booklet called, Passing Between the Pieces, and it was written by Sheldon David. The following is a prophecy regarding this covenant, it was from last year, but it's worth repeating again and again. God will never stop loving us, because of this promise.

"What you have stepped into is so rich, prosperous and powerful. It's too late. It's too late. Your head (satan) is crushed. The lie and the liar is exposed, and the Son is glorified to His rightful place on the thrown.

The lies are coming down... The elder son in the Prodigal Story didn't understand who he was and what he had been given. The father says, 'Don't you realize that all that I have is yours.' (Luke 15:31) No, he didn't realize that. But the younger son is now in the house and will eventually realize who he is. You know why? Because you're getting it yourselves. You see your the prodigal who came back home and has been given the Father's house and been given the Father's robe and shoes of sonship and a signet ring of his Father's authority. And he has come to that place of rule—that intended place. At first he didn't know who he was. And at first you didn't know who you were, but you eventually did. He left himself out there in the pig pen, says the Lord, and he came with the Holy Spirit drawing him to his father's house. And the father exalted him. And he move him into the place of a prince and a king it says. Full sonship rights, says the Lord."

"The covenant promises is alive, says the Lord. It been true for over 4,000 plus years. And in the western world, it's pretty much a dusty old document that's in the first book of the Bible. People relegate it to the importance of the Mosaic Laws. But, you'll never believe that, not for a moment.

I will never be unfaithful to the Promise. I gave it to Abraham and his sons forever. I gave it to Jesus Christ, He is the fulfillment of the Promise, the fullness of it. And He fully lives within you. So the Promise is fully activated in living His life through you. He will makes sure it all comes to pass. 

There is no competition in God, boys. There was no competition in the first family for all the people on the earth. Adam represented the Father, Eve the Holy Spirit and then you have Abel, who represents the Son. And then you had Cain and he represented the older brother in the story of the prodigal. And he represented satan. Remember, I said satan was a murder from the beginning. Cain was his vehicle to murder through, from the beginning. I also said, he was a liar from the beginning. It's his native language, his native tongue—he is a liar. His choice of skin was that of a serpent at the time to lie through. The first family, four people, those four people were meant to be something else. If it were not for the fall, it would of represented something completely different. It would of represented the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit and the mini-member wife of the land, the sons. But it didn't happen that way. God had to shoot up 4,000 more years and then you see it happen that way. There's no competition in the Godhead. There's no competition. The Son does not feel slighted. The Father does not feel slighted."

 (portions of a prophecy by Sheldon David on April 1, 2011)

Note: Things have shifted and changed. It's not the way it used to be. God is calling His sons and daughter to rise up and come forth from the caves and the pig troughs to their true calling and anointing. It is the Heavenly Father's pleasure to exalt His sons, those who have learned to hear His voice, to abide and wait on Him. All power, authority and blessings dwell within and upon those who embrace the treasure of the Abrahamic Covenant and Promise— full Sonship Rights. This is the Abramanic Covenant:

"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:3-5

The Greatest Super Bowl

The real "Super Bowl" isn't over yet. And it has nothing to do with football, half time entertainment or even fireworks. This game is being played out for the hearts and minds of men, women and children all over the world. The risks are great, but so is the reward. It's the game of Life and death; the battle between good and evil, love verses hate. The goal is to help restore the Kingdom of heaven, and to take back what the enemy has stolen. This is all accomplished through the love and power of the heavenly Father.

The Lord says, it's not over; the real Super Bowl is not over—in fact for some it's just begun. It's a battle between the flesh and the spirit, a conflict between the forces of darkness and the Sons of Light, whose coach is Jesus Christ and their owner—the heavenly Father. This is all being played out on the field of planet Earth, and all creation is waiting for the outcome of this game. 

There is a great crowd of witnesses cheering for the Sons of Light from heavenly bleachers, among them are Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and all the saints of old, plus Jesus Christ himself. They are seated at the right hand of the Father who's watching too, and they're cheering, encouraging and praying for them not to give up. 

Many people have thought the game was too long or difficult, and others have stumbled and fallen away, some have wondered if it's really worth it, or if they could ever win, and at times we even felt like giving up or quitting. But we didn't, even when we fell down. There was something deep down inside of us that made you and I get up and try again and again. It was the Faith of Abraham and the will that goes beyond all logic or reason, an inner strength that makes us who we really are and empowers us to rise to the occasion. We are the sons of God and we terrify our enemy, satan and his wimpy cohorts—because we know the Truth.

The game's not over, but the outcome has been already determined, says the Lord. Our opponents have been defeated and we are the champions. We have already won and been given a victor's crown as we lift up our trophy, Jesus Christ. Plus we get to wear a ring that can never be stolen or taken away. The victory is ours in Christ Jesus and the heavenly Father is very pleased and proud to call us His sons and daughters.

Can you see that? Can you believe it? When you're in Christ, you're already sitting at the right hand of the Father, along with your brothers and sisters. There is no time or space in Christ. They're all watching and waiting, praying and cheering for us and for the next generation who will also be players and participators in the greatest Super Bowl of all.

Comment: I have nothing against watching football, but I've learned to find better things to do. So I didn't watch Super Bowl XLVI this time, because I chose to go to a Sunday night prayer meeting instead; where the real battles are often fought and won. It was there that the Lord told me, "The games not over, it's just begun. And the good news is you're on the winning side." I also share those words with my friends in Christ.
