Happy New Year
Happy
New Year
Year
of Jubilee.
Could
2015 be the year of Jubilee for the United States, or even other
countries? The Lord has said through His Prophets, that the
“Visitation of the Father” coming soon. John Crowder has also
made this statement in one of his book, The Modern Mystic:
“I
find it interesting that the Lord is already laying a corporate
foundation of prophetic teachings in the body today that will thrust
the next healing revival to new proportions. Sound teaching will be a
must accompany the prophetic. The church was not prepared for
[William] Branham's anointing, and so that level of power had to be
reserved for another generation. Often when spiritual blessings are
corporately withdrawn, because of sin, there is a literally a
fifty-year jubilee cycle before debts are canceled and they are
released into the earth again. That time is now for the power mantles
of the Latter Rain evangelists.”
William Branham died in a head-on
collision with a drunk driver on December 18,1965. He knew the Lord
would be calling him home soon. His wife was in the car with him and
had died from her injuries. His son who was in a different car came
to his father aid. Branham, in his dying breath, asked if his wife
was okay, but she had just died. He told his son, “just lay my hand
on her.” When his son did that her pulse returned and she
recovered.
I
know the Lord has also said their would be a mighty spiritual move in
the Nation of Israel in the year 2017 and 2018. This would be 50
years after the Six Day War, when Israel regained control of all
Jerusalem and other parts of their land. Could that be their time for
Jubilee?
The
ground-works are being laid for a mighty move of God. Last month on
one of my walks the Lord told me that we would see many people filled
with the Holy Spirit. Not because they were seeking God, but because
of prayers from friends, family, intercessors, and even those who
were sent by God to those countries. Many of these converts will come
out of prostitution, drug addiction, and a lives of abuse and crime.
These new believers will grow and bear fruit. Plus there would even
be many filled from the birth, just like John the Baptist. The fire
of God will burn in their hearts and nothing will be able to quench
it. The Heavenly Father is calling all of His lost children who have
been feeding in the pig pins of life, to return home where He is
waiting with open arms of love, joy, forgiveness and blessings. He
will clothes them with new shoes, the best robe and ring. This will
definitely be a time for celebration, the likes the world has never
seen or known. God has and is sharing similar insight like this to
others around the world to encourage us not to give up the fight.
It's
time to get ready to party and do business for the Kingdom of God.
This will be a Happy New Year for all God's children.

Christmas In Mexico
A nativity scene with Christmas tree next to the new fountain. |
The best gift anyone can give to one another is their love
and forgiveness.
The best Gift ever given to us was Jesus Christ. He is and will always
be the Ultimate Gift to mankind. Receive that gift and let Him change your life
forever, by filling your life with His love, His peace and His joy that the world can't give.

For Such a Time as This
At
the appointed time Jesus Christ was sent to earth. We are all
familiar with the Bible account of Jesus' birth. But did you know you
too were also also sent to earth, for such a time as this. It wasn't
not an accident nor the plan of your parents, it was designed by God.
“But
as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the
children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who where
born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of
man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13)
Our
spirit were in Him from the beginning, and just like Adam we walked
and talked in the cool of the day with Him. Now it is our turn to
live out Christ's nature on earth, just as Jesus did 2000 years ago.
Our purpose is similar even though we didn't have a virgin birth. God
has a divine plan for each and everyone of His sons and daughters to
fulfill, even a “defining moment” as God calls it; where
history is enhanced or even altered. Whether our mission is big or
small or some where in between, our lives are important to God, and a
joy to our Heavenly Father. So maybe it a time for a reality check,
and ask yourself and then God, Why am I here? And see if you both
have the same answer.
We
still must be willing to denying our selves, take up our cross and
follow His Spirit to the death of our self-life and even to our
natural life, just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane and on
the cross at Calvary. Then we too will walk as Jesus walked and talk
as He did with resurrection power and life flowing through us,
allowing us to rule and reign with Christ Jesus, now and for all
eternity.
In
the book of Esther we see how she, the bride, was prepared to meet the king and
become his wife, so we too are being prepared “for such a time as
this.” Once we have accepted the edict of Yahweh's love we have
been commissioned to fulfill a role in the Kingdom of God, where
one or maybe thousands, even millions of lives are effected; that will bring
salvation and restoration to them and for many generations to come. When
we realize and understand that we have been birth just as Jesus was,
and given His authority, it certainly put things into a whole
different perspective on things. Also, a better understanding of what true
Sonship is all about.
”O God, may You be
exalted over my possessions. Nothing of earth's treasures shall seem
dear to me if You are glorified in my life. Be exalted over all my
friendships, for I am determined that You shall be above all, though
I must stand deserted and alone in the midst of the earth. Be exalted
above my comforts. Though it means the loss of bodily comforts and
the carrying of heavy crosses...Be exalted over my reputation...above
my ambitions, above my likes and dislikes, above my family, my health
and even my life itself. Amen” --A.W Tozer
A change is coming and as
we step forward into a year by faith. The Heavenly Father is and will be exalted. We will see many signs, wonders and
miracles we never expected. Plus, I'm going back to Washington to
restore my marriage and family with God's help, after being gone for two
and a half years. My desire is to see God's love work through me, even to
those I left back home. I believe, my work in Mexico is almost done
and it is time to leave. It has been a wonderful experience I will
never forget or regret. Making many new friends, including some that I could hardly
talk to, and still seeing God's love, grace and faithfulness work through
it all. I will miss them dearly and hopefully see many of them in
heaven, if not sooner. Next year will be even a greater adventure as
we anticipate the “Visitation of the Father.”

Fruitfulness
Last
year I saw two large fruit trees in the neighbor back yard, behind my
house. One was a tangelo and the other was a grapefruit tree. The
neighbors no longer lived there and were trying to sell the empty
house. There was a lot of fruit on each tree, and the fruit on the
tangelo was ripening and would soon fall to the ground and rot, if no
one was going to pick them. The grapefruit would be ripe another
month later. After checking with other neighbors to see if it was
okay, I regularly, climbed over the fence and picked the fruit, and
enjoyed eating a lot for the next few months, plus gave some to other
people too.
I
never thought I would be still here in this same house a year later,
and the trees were full of fruit again, but not as much as the year
before, because the water system had been turn off for two weeks last
summer, and at other time too and the automatic water system was not
able to provide the water needed during those hot days and so some of
the branches had died. But there was still a lot of fruit to eat.
However, I noticed some tangelos had already fallen off, so I figured
some were ready to pick. But when I went over to pick, I noticed a
lot of small frying insects around the tree, and a small little hole
in some of the ripe tangelos that the bugs were entering the fruit
and causing them to rot and fall off to the ground. A week later I
went over and there were more insects and damaged fruit. I did not
have this problem last year, and was disturbed by this turn of
events. I was sure that this was not the only fruit tree in the area
with this problem. It was one of the curses, because of mankind’s
sin. But what could I do.
I
realized I needed to do something, not just complain. If my prayers
could turn a hurricane and heal the sick, why not remove this curse.
Jesus spoke to a fig tree and cursed it, why shouldn’t we be able
to speak to a tree and remove this curse of pestilent, after all
they were nail to the cross along with all the other curses and sins.
I know there is no diseases and pestilent in the Kingdom of God, so
it time to start turning the table around and say NO MORE. So I when
out to the tree a couple days later and did just that, but as I was
praying I realized that this was just a small thing to God; the most
important thing was people, and their lives. All creation came under
a curse from Adam's sin. And we are from the earth, and God is the
potter of these earthen vessels that now walk it in His amazing
grace. Our roots need to tap into that Eternal River that will never
run dry so that our leaves can heal the nations. But unfortunately,
we have also become very ignorant of the disease and pestilents in
our hearts that destroy the fruit He desire to see come from us too.
Many people, including Christians still have various amounts of pride,
greed, lust, unforgivness, self-worth and are unable to see how they
have damaged or destroyed lives. Plus, it also separates or hinders their relationship with God
and others. I have asked my Heavenly Father to remove our “hearts
of stone” and give us a “heart of flesh”. Then asked Him to
remove all the disease and pests in my own heart, and give me a heart
like His, so that our life will be BUG FREE in His Kingdom.
By
Faith, I do have God’s heart, and that is why I am here and
speaking His words across Mexico and the Internet.

Thanks/Giving
Most
American celebrated Thanksgiving Day last week, but over the years it
has lost much of its meaning and become a just another holiday that
jump-start people into a month of self-indulges capped off with two
bigger holidays. But this article is not about those holidays. In
Mexico they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, and I've learned that
finding a turkey in the grocery store is almost impossible until the
week before Christmas, for only a week.
We arrived at the house about 7pm and got to meet her son and his family. They continued preparing food in a large kitchen, while we sat in the living room with some other friends who could speak English. There was American music playing; oldies from the 70’s. Other family members arrive a little later with more food and we were introduced to them. All Violet’s sons can speak English, but only three were there that night, and their wives could not speak English, and their children only a little.
Some crab pastries and pecan nuts were past-out along with coke or water to drink, while the table was set and final preparations for dinner were made.
During
the meal, I was asked if I wanted to watch the Seattle Seahawk game,
on the big screen TV, while we ate, I said, “No thank you, being
with you was better than any football game.” I was stuff and
blessed by these beautiful people that God allowed me to be with, and
to touch their lives in this special way, God was there too. After
our fabulous dinner, Violet was about to open her presents that
others had brought. I leaned over and told her I didn’t have a
present for her. She said, that my being there the best gift I could
give, and all the other stuff wouldn’t mean as much as that. Wow, I
would like to believe it's because she know who lives inside me; if
not she will be very disappointed, because nothing, including
Violet will keep me from fulfilling my mission, which I have
already told her.
Being
in Mexico, the Lord has helped me put a whole new perspective on
things,
and Thanks/giving has become a way of life to me. When I left the
United States I left a lot of material things behind that I learned I
didn’t need or at least I could live without them. They
were not necessary to find true peace and happiness that we all
need, nor are they required to fulfill God's will for our life and touch those around us. I have learned to give thanks everyday and be
content, but there are still time the enemy tries to disrupt my life
and journey with my Heavenly Father. But the enemy can’t succeed,
for my life is sealed the blood-covenant of Jesus Christ. And for that I'm very thankful. In fact I’m
here to disrupt the enemy’s plans. The best way for me is to declare God's
word and heart and stand fast on it. Another way is by giving
thanks and loving people and giving food and/or money to
those around me. God has a powerful way of multiplying all that into
ways beyond human understanding.
One
day couple months ago, I had asked God what next six months for me would
be like. He indicated that more people would come into my life, that
more people would feed me and there would be some other surprises; that all sounded great to me.
It
was just about that same time I met Violet, she was coming toward me
on one of my morning walks, and she had a big smile on her face and
greeted me. She had seen me before and wanted to get to know me, and
she could speak English. She was about my age, her parents were from
Spain, but she was born in Guaymas, Mexico and was one of triplet
girls, the first triplets to be borne by natural birth in that city.
Violet lives in San Carlos now, been divorced two years, very
friendly and out-going, and has four married sons, and now works at
the art gallery for Palir, even though she doesn’t need money. Over
the past two months, I have shared Christ’s love for her and
Mexico, plus on Tuesdays we watch one of my DVD movies, including
faith-based and the Passion. She has invited me to eat dinner every
Sunday at her house. She likes to cook and eat healthy food, because
she is diabetic. I told her God would heal that problem. I have
enjoyed her cooking and having a friend I can talk with. She really
likes me, but I let her know, up front, that we can only
be friends, nothing more. During this time I have also met one
of the sisters, friends and a few family members. They all liked me,
know that I'm married and on a mission for God. Some of them have
given me food too. Ten days ago her sister, Martha, left for Mexico
City for a few months, but before she left, wanted to have me come to
her house with Violet for a meal. After the meal, she gave me all the
left-overs from the chicken dinner, plus food that was still in her
cabinets and refrigerator.

Then
last Thursday was not only thanksgiving in the U.S., but it was also
Violet’s birthday. She invited me to celebrate it with her, friends
and all her family at one of her son’s house in a small city, about
twenty miles away. I went with Palir and her husband, who were also
invited. I had no gift to give and Violet is well-off as far as
personal wealth. I asked God what to bring, He said, "just being there
will be the best gift you can give." Okay.
We arrived at the house about 7pm and got to meet her son and his family. They continued preparing food in a large kitchen, while we sat in the living room with some other friends who could speak English. There was American music playing; oldies from the 70’s. Other family members arrive a little later with more food and we were introduced to them. All Violet’s sons can speak English, but only three were there that night, and their wives could not speak English, and their children only a little.
Some crab pastries and pecan nuts were past-out along with coke or water to drink, while the table was set and final preparations for dinner were made.
A bad hurricane hit this area of Mexico, a five years ago, and their house was flooded with 3' of water. |
When
the food came out I could hardly believe what I saw. Each of our big
plates was already served with two kinds of shrimps dishes, a large
slice of ham with pineapple in a spicy red sauce, along with mash
potatoes, a fresh green salad with sprouts, plus a Waldorf salad. One
of the daughter-n-laws used to cater to wedding and it showed that night.
This
was one of the best looking and tasting meals I have ever eaten, and I was served seconds.
Plus, there was sushi with different dips and fresh french rolls. And
for desert, a three layer cream cheese carrot/fruit cake. I was asked
to give the blessing on our meal, and I gratefully did. What a
blessing this night was.
Palir's husband, Burt. is sitting to the left of the picture. He did bronze sculptures and is an American. |
I
will never forget that night. Before we left, I made a point to
thank and bless each of them and their children, and to tell them
that God has a wonderful future in store for them and all of Mexico.
I
am truly thankful for the privilege of serving and giving my life for
the children of God, but most of all I’m thankful for the Father's
love and most precious Gift, Jesus Christ.
Before the night was over I sat down and played catch with this cute little girl. She really enjoyed that and so did my Heavenly Father. |

In His Shoes
Last
Sunday morning I had just finished breakfast and had opened the front
door about a foot, to let in some fresh air. Shortly after, I heard
someone at the door. I looked and it was the young woman, who I had
seen about a week ago on night when she stopped me on my walk and
asked if I wanted to take her to my house. But she spoke no English.
I told here, no thank you, and then said that God loved her. I had
want to help her somehow, even though she was a prostitute, but I
didn't have my wallet on me. So I prayed for her that night and now
here she was standing at my door. She was short, but on the plump
side. I could manage to understand a little; that she had heard I was
a Christian, and that was about all I could understand at first. So I
brought her into the house, and we sat on two chairs in an empty
dining room. I learned her name is Claudia, single and in her late
20's, she has a child and they live with her mother in Guaymas, who
is a widow.
As we sat there, she talked and cried, but I couldn't
understand anything other than I could tell she had a very broken in spirit,
and had tried to kill herself at one time by cutting her wrist, and
she pointed to the scares. I told her God still loved her very much,
gave her a hug and then got some fruit and gave her a choice; she
chose the banana. I told her I was about to go to church in 30
minutes, so in the meantime I took her to the beach and we listened
to some christian Spanish music for about twenty minutes. She sang
along with some of the songs while I waited for people to get to the
church who might be able to help her and ask how she found my house.
She also had a swollen ankle, and limped when she walked. So I put my
hand on the swollen area and prayed that God would restore it and her
life. However, she didn't want to go in the church when we got there.
So I went in and brought out a young Mexican lady who taught the
children church and they talked for a bit and she got her name and
phone number. She told me that Claudia found out where I lived by
asking people, and they told her I was a Christian. She also said
that Claudia had been very depressed and they would talk again on the
phone. When they were finish talking, I took her back to town to
catch a bus, but she said she was hungry and wanted to go back to my
house. So we did, and I gave her an apple, water, and a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich, plus a piece of chocolate candy. But then she
indicated she was full and didn't finish her apple or sandwich. What
she really wanted was to have sex with me, hoping that I would then give her
some money. I said, “no sex”. She said, “not even a little sex”
and put her hand on my pants, and I said, “no, not even a little
sex. And walked her out of the house.
I
had already taken out some money out of my wallet earlier and put it
in my front pocket that I had plan to give her. So when we got to the
gate, I gave it to her. She was surprised, because she thought she
had got nothing, but some food for her efforts. However, I
asked her not to come back to my house. I hated doing that, but this
reminded me of another bad experience I had, and I didn't want to see
something like that happen again. But if I see her on the street
again, I will gladly help her, because she is a friend to me, and a
lost child of God. However, I didn't want to live in fear, so I
prayed again after she left. God said, He was watching over me and not
to worry. However, she walked just around the block from my house and
waited there for a while. Then a little later she started to leave
the area, but saw a Mexican man, that I knew, walking down the
street. They talked briefly and then walked back to his house.
I
believe God lead this young girl to me so that I could touch her
life. We can't change them, only God. However, we can love and pray
for them that they will eventually know His love and freedom and have
their lives fully restored.
Anyway,
when I went to save this story, and it ended up going to the
documents that disappeared into the computer, when I tried to drag it
to another location. I still don't know computers very well and I
kind-of lost my cool for a moment, but decided just to trust God. So
I ate my lunch and then went to a young man's house who spoke
English, his name is Gerando, and knew computers. He is very nice and
helped me to retrieve them. He also removed and helped with some
other issues on the computer. Then he asked if I had a blog, because
he saw it on my toolbar, so I showed him it and then he also became
my 100th friend on Facebook. My mistake turned into a
blessing. So I gave him some money, even though he didn't want to
take it, because we were friends. But I wanted to bless him and sow
in some tangible way.
Another
interesting thing has happened. For the past couple weeks the buses
coming after 9pm have not been regular in San Carlos. And people, near my house,
have waited for over two hours after getting off work. So I have used
my van on several occasions to drive them to Guaymas. One night I had
seven Mexican in my van, the three men could speak English. They
laughed and talked with each. One small young man was sitting on the
lap of another women which was okay with her. As I drove, I had a big
smile on my face; it seem that I also have a bus ministry. Two time
they have given me some money, one time after we left. But that's not
the reason I do it. I love these people very much. Earlier, while we
waited for the bus, one man who was drinking, asked me if I drank
beer and I said no. Another man asked if I smoked pot. I said no. The
bus had not come again so I drove them all home. The next day one of
the men bought me a coke, because he said, “I was a good man”.
Jesus
was a friend of sinners, drunkards, prostitutes and tax collector. I
guess I'm wearing His shoes too.
God
is working in mysterious ways to establish His Kingdom in the lives
of Mexico. Sometimes it can be a little nerve racking, at first, but
then His peace is always just a breath away.

Fools for Christ
Jephthah,was
the ninth judge of Israel. He was a valiant warrior and was also the
son of a prostitute. He also made a vow to God, that if the Lord were
to give him the victory over their enemies, that he would offer
anything that came out of his house, as a sacrifice unto the Lord.
This appears to be a very foolish vow. Yet God takes what some men
call foolish or a slip of the lip, and honors the man, by placing him
in the Hebrew's Hall of Faith. The Lord knew Jephthah long before he
was even born, and that one day he would be a great man despite a
difficult life and childhood. What was Jephthah thinking when he made
such a vow? We will never know, but he never dreamed it would be his
daughter, but God knew. Yet he loved God so much and was grateful for
all He had done for him, that he was willing to give anything to show
his love and appreciation. And he showed it by still keeping his
word, and offer his only child ,a daughter to the Lord. She was
probable the joy of his life, because she also loved the Lord like
her father. Jephthah's greatness and humility can also seen in his
daughter's final request as she to was willing to give herself
completely to the Lord, and forgo any hopes or dreams that she might
have. Just as Abraham and Issac also had to do something similar.
(Gen22:2-18)
The
apostle Paul referred to himself as “a fool for Christ”. (1
Corth. 4: 10) Nothing matter more to him than to know Christ, and to preach
the cross on which He die. He counted everything, including his "light"
affliction as nothing compared to the glory set before him. That
Glory is Jesus Christ, the Pearl of Great Price, the Prize at the end
of the race; and Beloved of the Heavenly Father.
“Along
the journey, the fire of God's love that begins to burn within,
causes us to surrender the things that we lean on for fulfillment. We
willingly submit them to His inner cleansing flame.” --John Crowder
As
sons and daughters of the God, we have chosen to give up the things
that were once precious to us in order to serve Christ, because He
has become the most important thing and person in our life. He has
become our All in all, everything is found in Him. Nothing can
compare with His wonderful and endless love. The Lord always honors
those who have made great sacrifices done in faith, even thought the
world often considers them naive and foolish.
“He
is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot
lose.”--jim elliot

To Be or Not to Be
To
Be or Not to Be; that is the question Shakespeare once asked. It is
also the privilege and authority God is placing in the mouth's of His
sons and daughters. We are His voice on earth to establish "Thy
Kingdom come". If we want more of Christ's faith, power and authority
seen on earth in the areas God has intrusted to us, then we must
speak it into existence. If we don't want to see sickness, disease,
poverty etc etc, then we kick that out. Over the past number of years
The Heavenly Father has revealed more of His heart and what His
desires are for His Bride, the Church. He also desires His sons and
daughters to participate in establishing and creating what fits
within the Kingdom and it's unlimited perimeters that extend into
eternity.
”There’s
a definition – this belongs in the Kingdom and that does not belong
in the Kingdom. Does heart disease (apply other things here) belong
in the Kingdom? If not, then kick its sorry ass out of the Kingdom!
YOU set up a standard. YOU set up this and say, NO, NO FURTHER! You
THROW OUT of the Kingdom and you PUT THIS IN the Kingdom. You want
joy and faith and the power of YHWH and the Spirit of healing and
prosperity in the Kingdom, but you DON’T want the Spirit of
poverty, heart disease, diabetes and excuses in the Kingdom, then YOU
define those things, says the Lord.”
(portion of a prophecy from Sheldon David)
As
I thought more about this I realized that the Kingdom is in
us as well as outside and around us. Therefore by faith, we should
make sure that our words and proclamations apply to us as well. This
should be obvious, but sometimes we have a tendency to separate
ourselves from the reality of the Kingdom, and that we will always be
a part Thy Kingdom Life.
Jesus said to his disciples, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Mat. 18:18-20)
November 5, 2014
It is Finished.
While
I was in Tucson I stayed at Jerry's house, my landlord, for two
nights. He fixed most of my meals except the first night, when his
wife fixed a lovely dinner. It was a large beautiful house and there
was a guest house add to the side with a large flower and desert
garden that was walled-in, and his mother-n-law lives there. Jerry
and I went to church the next morning. I had never been to a church
quit like it. During the song service there was a worship team
singing with colored lighting and strobes swaying. And the lead
singer and guitarist was the minister, who was about fifty and
Mexican. The church held about a thousand and they had two services.
And all the electricity for the buildings were supplied by solar
panels roofing that also provided shade to cars in the parking lot.
The message was on faith from the book of Hebrews, and I had just
been talking to Jerry about faith earlier that morning. This was
definitely a grace church, and there were many young people and
adults of all ages. Some even brought in their coffee espressos. I
believe that wherever I go I'm to pray and so I did; that God would
bless this pastor and church. The next morning before leaving Jerry
shared some personal things and I prayed with him, that God would
help him through some difficult circumstances, and that He was in control and will lead and guide him. Whatever the cost may be, His love will
sustain him and after all, Christ is the most important thing.
I
stayed back in Nogales again Monday night, did laundry and spent
most of my American money I had withdrawn and bought a few more
things and topped off my gas tank again. It was getting cold that
night and by the next morning it was 36 degrees and ice was on my
windshield. Burrrrr.
I
had a nice quite drive, and a van with a lot of food. I cleared
the border early that morning, without being stopped. But eventually, I felt I was to
help some one with a ride. So I cleared the passenger seat and put it
back on my bed with the other stuff. Then when I came to the next
town I saw a old woman and a young girl needing a ride. So I stopped
and help then in and had the girl sit on the ice chest that was
between the two front seats. They spoke no English, and the girls name was Martha; she was
ten and had two brothers. I gave them some snacks and we listen to my
worship music for over an hour. Then I let them out in the next big
town and told them God loved them very much. Then on the other side
of town I saw another couple at the side of the road. This time it
was a mother and her son, but spoke no English. We drove for over an hour
and listened to music on a Mexican radio stations this time. I was just about five
miles from San Carlos, and they were going another direction. The
women had no husband and I told her is Spanish, God loved her and He was her
husband, and God would be a father to her son. And He loved them both
very much.
It
was 85 degrees at 1:30pm, and I was back in San Carlos. I unloaded my
van and mover my bed mat back into the house, hung my clothes and
fixed lunch. That night I when to see my friends at the taco stand
and give them bags of chocolate treats, I had bought at Costco. They
thanks me and gave me big hugs and then they fixed me a hotdog, and
gave me a Sprite to drink. Then Ana told me through her friend
Allissia, that she had another friend whose son had tried to cross the
border illegally this last weekend, and was injured in the
confrontation and was now in the hospital. She wanted me to pray for
him; so I took her and Allissia's hand and prayed. I prayed for
forgiveness; regardless of his intention, for healing and complete
restoration to the Father who loves him and his mother so much. Then
they thanked me again and gave me big hugs and said, I love you. Wow,
this is what life is all about. Loving God, and serving others, with His love,
whenever He gives us the opportunity. Sometimes we even need to be
looking along the roadway.
As
I walked back to my house, I was so happy about the day, but then I
began to wonder what else I could or should have done or prayed. Then
God told me, it doesn't really matter what you say or do sometimes,
because I know your heart and you mine and My will. Be assured
Israel, it is done like you wanted and more, because it is finished.”
I
don't know about others, but I want to keep walking and talking in
the “it is finish.” What an awesome privilege God has given all
His sons and daughters. Amen!

Living Water
Amigos at the new fountain in San Carlos, who wanted their picture taken with me. The fountain is still unfinished on the outside. |
There are many people and theologians who struggle with this section of passage where an angel stirs the water and people being healed. But then a lot of things God does don’t fit in with mans religious thinking. Some consider these three verses more of an apocrypha writing, and should not be in the Bible. Yet today we have reports of many bizarre miracles taking place around the world of people being healed by just looking at or touching a crucifix, painting or even a statue of Jesus or the Virgin Mary, or some other spiritual type of manifestation. Yet, in all these situations not everyone is healed who goes there.
These
kind of events are all a part of God’s awesome grace, and should not be
written off and some kind of trick or hoaxes. The name Bethesda means, house of mercy. In the Old Testament
the children of Israel were healed when they just looked at a bronze
serpent made by Moses. Why should it be any different today, if God
so choose to display His grace in a different or unique way. It still
requires faith upon the individual and it also points to a loving
God. However, everyone who came to Jesus was healed, and it is
no different today.
“As
Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son
of man, be lifted up; that whoever believes in Him should not perish,
but have eternal life.”
An ordinary “man, in reading
this scripture would make an important discovery. He would notice that look
and believe are synonymous terms. 'Looking' on the Old
Testament serpent is identical with 'believing' on the New Testament
Christ. That is looking and believing are the same
thing. And he would understand that, while Israel looked with their
external eyes, believing is done with the heart. I think he would
conclude that faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving
God.”--A.W. Tozer
I believe we are going to see more unique healings and miracles like these. One night the Lord told Sheldon and I that many people would be healed even when singing the song, Amazing Grace. Plus, there will be “hot spots,” around the world where the presence of God would be so strong that people would be healed just walking into a room, building or driving into a certain town or city where His sons and daughter have interceded with prayers and sacrifices.
I
also believe that this is one of the reasons why I am here in San Carlos.
Neither do I believe it is a coincidence that they have made major
improvements to the city and just finished building a beautiful
fountain less than two hundred feet from where I live. This is not
the city I would have chosen, there many wealthy people here and they
often take advantage of the poor while living a life of leisure and
self-indulgence. But then seeing a mighty move of God begin here
would certainly be a demonstration of His grace, as myself have
experienced this past year.
Every
spring, thousands of young people pour into this city to party. But
next year is going to be different, and God will be pouring His Holy
Spirit over them as His son walks through their midst. God has been
preparing the land and water for a mighty move of His Spirit. I
believe this new fountain and the city will become “a pool of
Bethesda,” as well as other places around Mexico; where lives and
hearts will be restored. Hopefully many people will come to the
realization of a loving God who wants all His children to come to
know Him and drink from the “Living Water” that will satisfy the
true longing of their soul.
I am also asking God to pour out a financial blessing and to change the hearts of the wealthy people in order to help billions of people around the world who have so much less. The spirit of poverty must be broken and cast out, there is no place for it in the Kingdom of God.
The
pool of Bethesda had five porticoes, FIVE is the number which
represents grace. Maybe not everyone will be healed at these places
or at that moment, but hopefully all will begin to seek out the giver
of Living Water Himself. Amen!

Samson
In
the Book of Hebrews, chapter 11, there is the record of names of men
and women of great faith, including few names that that may be
a surprise to many Christians. God has His reasons even if not
everyone understand why, but they are still heros in God's eyes.
A few of those names I would like to comment on, but one
in particular:
King
David name is mention numerous times throughout the Bible, and he is
also known as a man after God’s own heart. He also had many wives
and all of their names are mentioned, and he also had ten concubines.
David had a true passion for God. Unfortunately, there are some who
will only remember David for his sin with Bathsheba.
Next
is Samuel, a man dedicated to the Lord from birth by his mother
Hannah, who had been barren. He lived a life holy unto the Lord, and
his hair was never cut. He judged Israel all of his life He was also
a prophet, and there is no records of any sin in his life. Yet, his
wife is not even mentioned, but he had two sons who became a blemish
on his life, because they took bribes and perverted justice. They
chose not to follow in the footsteps of their father, who honored the
Lord. Therefore, God had Samuel anoint Saul to be Israel's first
king, because the people had rejected God's authority. Later on,
Samuel secretly anointed a young Shepard-boy to take Saul's place.
Then
there is Samson, a man who was chosen from birth to be also a judge
over Israel. He had accepted a Nazirite vow, to be holy and set apart
for God's service.
Samson
grows up being blessed by God. He knew he would be different, because
of the things his parent had taught him. Yet, there is no record of
the Lord or an angel ever speaking to Samson and telling him what to do;
as an angel did for his parent. However, the time came when Samson
wanted to move out of his parents house; to get married and have
children. It seem that Samson wanted to feel loved by someone
special other than by his parents, and to be loved in return just
like any other normal man. Unfortunately, he never realized or
understood how much God really loved him.
There
is nothing in the scripture that indicate that Samson even understood
what his vocation entailed; other than to be a deliverer. Maybe he just
wanted to be a farmer and have a family of his own. Neither, is there
any indication that he had an angry or violent nature, or rebellious
as a child. However, when he finally found a women he wanted to
marry, he choose a foreigner and that was not pleasing to his parents
or to his people. Yet, as offensive as that was to them, it was
still the will of God. (Judges 14: 4)
Samson
learns of his super strength just before his wedding. But before the
honeymoon is over, trouble was brewing and there was strife. He had
made a bet with his wife's countrymen, and they in turn threaten her
and her father's life, if she didn't help them. Thus she deceives
Samson, and betrays his trust. So Samson had to settle the wager
seven days into their marriage, and he does it by killing thirty men
for their clothing. Tic-off with his wife, Samson leaves her for a
while to cool off, but when he return he finds that his father-n-law
has given his new bride to another man. Now Samson gets really angry
and set fire to the Philistine's wheat fields. Things go from bad to
worst. This was not going the way he had hoped or planned for his
marriage. And as a result of his foxy actions, his wife and
father-n-law were killed by the Philistines. Then some of Samson's
own people turned against him too. It seem he was not meant to have the
happy life he had hoped.
Samson
ruled as a judge over Israel for twenty years. We don’t have much
information as to what that implied or what else he did during all
those years, other than killing lots of Philistines, and destroying
their harvests. He even removed the enemies gate at Gaza, a prophetic
picture. Another time Samson called on the Lord when he was thirsty,
after killing a thousand men with a jawbone of an donkey, and God
provided the water for him. However, near the end of those 20 years,
it's mentioned only once of him going to a prostitute in Gaza. There
is nothing to indicate that this happened more often, or
that this was a routine life style. (Even Judah had sex with Tamar,
just one
time, when she disguised herself as a prostitute.)
Unfortunately,
Samson is mostly remembered for the “affair” he had with a
beautiful women named Delilah, whom he met a little later, and he
fell in love. The
Bible does not say Delilah was a prostitute, but she did have a thing
for money. Most assume that something sexual also happened
while he was with her, but the scriptures does not say. If you read
carefully, it only says he was enticed and he deceived her several
times. He is also the only man recorded in the Bible, to have ever told
a women “I love you”. Unfortunately, out of sheer stupidity and
being pestered to death, Samson finally give in and revealed the
secret he believes, for his strength. And while he slept on her
knees, she had his hair cut off, and we all know the consequences
that followed.
However,
while in prison Samson had lots of time to think about his life, God,
and where he went wrong. His enemies had blinded him, but that was
when he really began to see. As time went by his hair grew back, and
he asks the Lord to restore His strength. God did, and as a result it
was his greatest victory.
Was
Samson's life all about sex and killing, as some people think? I
don't think so; maybe all he wanted was to love and be loved
in return, and serve God's people. True, he put too much emphasis on
human love, as most people do, rather than to love and honor God above all.
Maybe he was a lonely and frustrated man. Or just got tired of
fighting and killing, like King David did when he got older. During
Samson's life there were no prophets or righteous role models
mentioned for him to follow. Maybe these were the only two incidence
of bad behavior in Samson's life. We will never know for sure, but I
think there is much we can learn here. I'm not trying to make excuses
for Samson, he made some bad choices. He had a special calling on his
life, but didn't handle it well. Neither did he have the relationship
with Yahweh that he could have had.
However,
in the end Samson does calls on the Lord to remember him, just like
many others have. Sure, he wanted justice, but he was also willing to
give his life for the Lord’s cause. He had the faith to believe God
would hear and answer his prayer. Samson saw himself as nothing and
God as everything. Therefore, he didn't ask God to spare his life,
but for strength to serve Him one last time. God saw and heard more
than just his words, He also saw a humbled man. Even with his human
weakness and carnal desires, Samson was used and loved by God. It was
his faith in God that gave him strength, not just his hair. With the
help of the Holy Spirit and God’s grace there were many victories
throughout Samson's life, and God vindicated him in the end.
Yes,
Samson was a foolish and carnal man at times, who was often lead by
his flesh. But his name is still listed in the Hall of Faith, while
the names of most prophets were not listed. I believe, Samson is
listed not due only to his great strength or faith, but because of
the wonderful, awesome and incredible grace of God. The Lord knew
Samson long before he was born, and yet God still chose him to
display His power and authority, despite those weakness. He was human
just like us. How many of us would want to have a book written about
our lives; with all our sins and failings exposed for the world to
read? Certainly not me. Some of us could make Samson look like a
saint compared to what we've done. (Jephthah, who is also listed with
Samson in the Hall of Faith, was a judge before Samson, and he was
the son of a prostitute, and another unique example of God's grace.)
What
legacy will we leave behind? I would not necessarily want to be
compared to a Samson, but I do understand human desires and
weaknesses. My preference is to be known as a man after God's own
heart, a son of God. However, there were certain aspects of Samson's
life that were important and prophetic and that will be seen and felt
in this next move of God.
The
Samson Spirit
"I am uniquely devising a plan of attack toward the enemy. I am raising
up a Samson, a multi-membered house, one who disregards most all that
men (even Christian men) deem holy. These men's holiness is centered
in their consecrated lives toward Me, not in externalism and
sacrifice. Their authority is felt at the gate, and even their
presence, going through the enemies gates, is felt (shaking).
Sometimes these people are merely following their natural lust, and I
use them to remove the enemies gates. This is My divine plan for
Sodom's destruction, and the removal of various other
(otherwise) impenetrable principalities. The Spirit of God goes into
the midst of the enemy's camp, in the heart of His consecrated ones,
and the Lord reeks havoc. His is something which He (God) is doing,
and can NOT be achieved by carnal planning.
I
will take the body of Christ to a level deeper. This depth will come
by tearing and molding. I will remove part of her, and heal that
scar, just to reveal My servants nature. I must reveal My ways to
people. Who will listen?”-- prophecy by Sheldon David on August 9,
1998

Construction
The glory of God is reaching across San Carlos. |
In San Carlos this past year there has
been a lot of construction. Road improvements, more sidewalks,
landscaping, and a fountain near my house. A new house is being built
next door to me. Things are changing and prosperity is coming back to
this city and other places in Mexico, as I have prayed for since
coming here two years ago.
I enjoy watching the men working, and
how they do things; mostly with hand tools and manual labor. One man
calls me a supervisor; I have asked questions and even made some
suggestions that were done. Most of the work takes a long time to get
done, and often thing have to be redone, because they forgot to do
something else first. And other times work is done that or damages or
ruins the look of previous work, but now that's someone else’s
problem. Water lines and other things are often broken when digging
with backhoes, because they don’t check things out first. But it
eventually gets done, and that’s life in Mexico, and other places
around the world. People in general are pretty much that way too;
making mistakes that could have been avoided. I was that way once and
sometimes I still do.
New sidewalks, but weeds are still a big problem. |
I also enjoyed building and house
construction, and have built my own homes and landscaped them. Seeing
something good rise from the earth where there was nothing before was
a wonderful experience for me. As an artist I also got to create many
beautiful paintings that were once just a blank piece of canvas. and
I really enjoyed doing that too.
God is the Divine Artists, Designer,
Architect, and Builder. He spoke and it happened; creating everything
out of nothing, even what we don’t see. One day I was talking to
the Lord about my fascination with construction, and seeing these
kinds of things being done and how I missed the joy of creating. Then
God reminded me that all His sons and daughters have a part in
creating. In fact, most everyday of my life, my words and actions are
building, creating and establishing various parts of His Kingdom.
While most people, including religious people are still building only
temporary ones. However, the time
will come when the sons of God will see what they have accomplished;
all the souls saved and lives restored, because of our intercessory
work. But we can still have His joy now in building a relationship
with Him, and being content with all we have in Him. There will also
be a time when we will enjoy ruling and reigning with Him forever;
and that can begin now too!
The Light of Christ' Church is shining over my house. |
I'm glad Abba Father reminds me of
certain things that I forget or sometimes take for granted. He also
says, that the important things, especially the special one, usually
take much longer to see accomplish than what we would like or expect.
As His voice we often lay the ground work like a foundation for
others to build on. It may not be the most noticeable or glamorous
work for now, but necessary and important just the same. God is always faithful to all His
words and promises, and His timing is always perfect. I love Abba so
much, and enjoy working with Him any way possible; speaking His heart, overcoming
obstacles, and defeating the enemy. But most of all, just being with Him.
The kingdom of religion is still growing, but much slower than some people had hoped. |
Creating a Masterpiece
“Though all God's words of creation
have already been spoken, the image of Jesus is still being found in
Light, Color, and Dimension throughout the universe, coming into
clearer focus within the Body of Christ. Through faith, believer
participate in God's nature by living and speaking His words, thereby
taking part in God's creative process. Every pure act of faith
preformed is one step closer to the finish of God's divine
masterpiece; the perfection of Jesus' Glorious Bride &
Magnificent Kingdom."

Names
This is Maria and her grandson. |
There
are many names mentioned throughout the Bible; names of people,
places and things. There are also numerous names for God. Names are
important and often have special meaning ascribes to them. Jesus is
the name above all names. and every knee shall bow before Him.
People’s
names are important too. There are people in the Bible who played
very special roles. Yet there were some prophets, priest, and other
men of God whose names were never mentioned. Sometimes, I have
wondered why Malchus, a slave, who was in the garden of Gethsemane
when Jesus was arrested, his name was recorded. Then there is also
Rhoda, a servant-girl who reports that Peter is knocking at the door,
after he had been released from prison; her name is mentioned too.
Yet, there is another women who anoints Jesus feet, but her name is
not mentioned. But, Jesus says her actions will be a testimony
wherever the Gospel is preached. I believe she is a prophetic picture
of Christ's Church who are willing to make great sacrifices, but seek
no recognition for themselves. God has always been full of surprises
and we may never know the reasons why some names are mentioned
and others are not.
As
sons of God, whether our names are ever written down for the world to
see is not important. It is what we say and do for Him and His Kingdom. Our
lives are important to God no matter what others think, and it's our
heart that He's looking at that will make us worth remembering.
Besides, our names are written down in the Lambs book of Life, and
also linked with His. Can't beat that! Amen!!!
“The
Lord is good to those who have seen Him.
He
doesn't just strike them down to kill them!
No,
He care tenderly for those who He entrusted with His secret—
the
people of His Gown!
Those
are a Real Remnant—
Not
a particular “group” of people,
but
a heart who has yielded it's own life, and been impaled in the
process, for the Master's Call. That 's All! Everything! And the Lord
knows their names.”--a prophecy by Sheldon David
September 23, 2014
Hurricanes
This is just two blocks from my house. |
On
my last article I shared a small part of a prophecy from Sheldon. It
was an incredible prophecy and I would like to share just a little
more from it:
“I am exalting that which concerns you, [Sons of God]. I’ve heard your cries and prayers. I know where you’re at and I carry the burden. I bear the yoke with you. You’re not in this alone. I fix that which is broken and clean that which is soiled and restore that which has been disgraced or dismantled and I make all things NEW. As I said, you are the New Heavens and you are the New Earth. You are the New Creation and the New Jerusalem that has come out of heaven from God, dressed and prepared for the Master.” (Bracket mine.)
Also in that same article I also made a statement that you may have surprised, but I believe it is still the heart of Father. I referred to His Kingdom as “Our Kingdom.” The reason for this is simple; Jesus is the Kingdom of God, He is our Lord, and our Husband, and as such is His desire to share all He has with us as the Eternal Father, because it's been given to us to rule with Him. He is still the Sovereign Lord and King over heaven and earth, and those evil creeps now under our feet. God is forever the lover of our soul.
In the book of Esther, we see a picture of our spiritual marriage to the King and overcoming our common enemy. Queen Esther, represent the Church. The King also saw his Queen as an equal. Whatever, the Queen said, in words or letter was fulfill with the Kings full authority in dealing with her enemies and their spoils.
Today the Heavenly Father is also giving His Sons, and Bride, authority to speak for Him. The Lord says, “We'll come together and administrate My Kingdom Authority. You will cast those things out that do not belong within the walls of the Kingdom. You will set up standards and command the angels of YHWH, in order to accomplish His will.” (another portion from Sheldon's prophecy.)
There is no competition in the Kingdom of God. We have been chosen and united with Christ, we our One with the Eternal Father. Yet, as always, we stand in His presence, only because of His wonderful love and amazing grace.
In the book of Songs of Solomon, we have another picture of the Bride and Groom, where the bride in the beginning referred to the Bridegroom as belonging to her. “I am my beloved and he is mine.” She says this two different times. But later, as she has matured in wisdom and understanding (knowledge), she says, “I am my beloved and I am His.” That’s the true picture of her relationship. Her husband is no longer seen as a possession, but as the True Lover. Together we rule and reign with Him as the New Jerusalem for all eternity. Amen!
During this past month there has been three hurricanes on the west coast of Mexico. The first brushed along lower Baja California, and had little effect on our area. The next one on September 15th was a much bigger hurricane with winds of 125mph, making a direct hit on the Baja peninsula causing even greater damage, including our area. Both times I was not aware of them until after the fact, but the second one I could see how it was affecting our area. It was a category 4 the down graded to a 3 when it hit San Lucas, but still did a lot of damage.
In San Carlos there are many businesses and homes built close to the ocean, and with little protection from large waves which are rare, (normal waves are 2-3feet), except when there are hurricanes or tropical storms. It rained for a day and a half, but not very hard. However, five years ago when a hurricane that past through San Carlos, and it dump 36” of rain before leaving the area. Anyway, this time the rain was not as bad, just a couple inches. But a number of homes, hotels and restaurants were damaged by the high water and 8 foot waves breaking windows and filling them with sand and seawater. Winds gust of 70-80mph was also a factor, causing flying objects. Later that same afternoon, I watch from a nearby house for over an hour as these huge wave hit the beach houses that had stonewalls to protect them, but not high enough for some houses and a couple didn't even have a seawall.
While I watched the storm, I meet a man from the community church who has three homes on the canal that lead to the canal where we stood and empties storm water to the ocean. All three of his houses had three feet of water in them from the hurricane that hit 5 years ago. Together we watched and talked. He felt this was just another sign of God's judgment and that there would be still more to come before the Lords soon return. I didn't get into that, but I did share my testimony and why I was in Mexico. I also told him we were going to see a mighty move of God very soon in Mexico and around the world; the visitation of the Father.
Later that night I took a walk when it wasn't raining hard, but still very windy, just to be a part of the power of God's creation, and even a buffer in His judgments. I prayed for mercy, just as Abraham did, and for the safety of His children. Over that two day event we lost power almost a dozen times, sometimes for several hours, other areas were without power much longer. The man told me that there was still another hurricane following the hurricane we were experiencing. The next day, I got on line and saw that in deed there was another big hurricane coming up the southern coastline of Mexico. I asked for God's mercy and felt lead to commanded the storm to turn away from making landfall. A few days later, I checked the weather satellite video, I saw that the large hurricane had turned away from land and was dissipating out at sea. Praise God.
As God's sons, we are not just to sit or stand around and watch these disasters happen, but act according to God's heart. It is God's desire for us to demonstrate His love, power, and mercy in every situation; bringing His Kingdom to earth.
Today the Heavenly Father is also giving His Sons, and Bride, authority to speak for Him. The Lord says, “We'll come together and administrate My Kingdom Authority.

God Complex
What
an awesome month this has been, and it keeps getting better. I have
also had some personal struggles, but God helped me through them. Now let me give you some other
highlight.
First,
on August Aug. 10th
about noon we had a small earthquake 5.6. A couple quick jolts that
shook the house and then some small tremors. The was no serious damage
to the house or town. However, some things fell off peoples shelves,
and it crack the waterline coming to my house and a small amount of
water is now leaking and will need to be repaired by the city, but they are in
no hurry to fix it.
We
have also had a lot of thunderstorms this past month. Sometimes
during the day, but most during the night after midnight for our
area. It's impossible for me to sleep through them. One night there
was another one just after 2am. So after that storm had past, I asked
God what the thunder and lightning was all about. And He told me that
they were announcing that He was coming, the Eternal Father. The
earth is trembling and the weather is excited, and the time is right.
He's coming to reveal Himself and His power to mankind, to clothe His
sons in His glory, and to set His children free. It's time to
wake-up, and to celibate!
On
the 13th I was drive through Guaymas late at night, taking
a friend home. I knew the speed limit, because I just past a speed
sign. There was a police pick-up truck in front of me, who was
driving slower, so I past him on the inside lane. I then got back in
the left lane. A minute later I saw blue flashing light behind me.
Great, now what! I had lost my driver’s license the month before,
so got out my tourist visa to show the officer, who spoke no English.
He accused me of speeding. I said no, I was doing 60klm (about 40mph)
and he said I was doing 80. He apparently saw my Washington plate on
my van and knew I was an American. I knew this was a common problems
with tourist, and what he really wanted was money. He threatened to
take me back to the police station. So while my wallet was still out
I show him that all I had was three fifty pesos bills and offered him
one. But he wanted more, so I offered all three. He still wanted
more, but I said it was all I had. He finally accepted them and told
me not to speed anymore. I thank him and left. 150 pesos is only
about $13. Earlier that day, I was going to put in another 500 pesos
bill, but I decided not to and I’m glad I didn’t. But I was still
a little upset. The next morning I was still thinks about what
happen, and realized what God wanted me to do. Pray, and forgive the
man, and for all the officers who abuse their power. Plus, make a
declaration for integrity and honesty in the justice system in Mexico
and around the world. And that’s what I did.
Aug.
19-The Lord reminded me that we are going where no man gone before.
As sons and daughters of God
we are stepping into another world. We are above the world
systems and answer to no one—but God, and speak for Him.
Aug.21—I
had dream. In it, a friend and I were out in the countryside and he
was on a small farm vehicle that had a rototiller on it. He began
digging up a section of ground when he uncover some metal in the dirt. After a closer look, we realized it was part of a small
airplane that had crashed, and had been covered by soil over the
years. My friend went to get police to help determine who died in the
plane. I waited nearby, then decided to take another look at the
remains, but when I got closer, I now saw two young men, dressed in
casual clothes, lying on top of the crash site. When I touched the
body, it moved, and I realized he wasn't dead. I asked who they were
and then the other man moved. He was the pilot and they had crashed
in 1986. They still looked about thirty and told me their names. Then said my name was Israel. When my friend returned, we used his
cellphone to call family and tell them of the miracle we had just
witnessed. They had come back to life just because I was there and
they had not aged, and it was now 2014. Wow!
In
the days ahead, we are going to see bizarre miracles like this.
Remember, Ezekiel raised up an army from dry bones, and a dead man
came back to life after being thrown into the tomb of Elisha. The
power of Father on His sons and daughter will capture the hearts and
souls of men, for the Glory of God.
On
August 25, I got a prophecy from Sheldon that the Lord gave him the
month before, and it greatly encouraged me. It also confirmed some
things that I had said this month, and that the Lord had shared with
me. But this prophecy, was the most powerful words I have ever read.
It revealed more of God's heart, who we are in Christ and our mission
as His son and daughters. I would like to share just a small portion
of it. One of the biggest problems that many of us face is that we
are,“afraid of expressing the TRUE Christ Who lives inside you.
It’s not been a God complex – it’s been a human complex. The
“God thing” is the most secure part of you – the part that
knows who He is and who she is, and will take it and establish it and
will put the sword in the ground and say THIS FAR and NO FARTHER!,
because this territory is YHWH’s and this YHWH is in us — the
Sons of God.”
In this prophecy the Lord also that satan tries to get us to believe God has not meant everything
He said in the Bible or spoken to us. Neither can we allow satan to
intimidate us.The Lord also said that we have been
given full authority over satan and we must take back what has been
stolen, Stick our sword in the ground and say, “enough is enough”
and establish what we will allow in OUR Kingdom, and remove what does
not belong, such as
sickness, disease, poverty etc. ect. The Father has given us His
ring, just as Jesus spoke in the parable of the Prodigal Son, and
with that spiritual ring we have now been given His full authority.
Amen!
On
Aug 24th—I had another spiritual dream. I don't remember all of it,
but the very last part. I was talking to a minister and he said to
me, “the biggest problem with the church today is that we,” and I
said it with him, “ignore God.”--End of dream and then I woke up.
As I laid there thinking about that statement I realized how true it
was. “The Lord says, 'These people come near me with their mouth
and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their
worship of Me is made up only of rules taught by men.' (Isa.
29:13). When God tells us to do something and we don't do it; we are
ignoring Him. The same applies when the Lords says who we are we are
in Christ, and then don't live like it. What we are really doing is
ignoring Him, by yielding to another voice. Many call
this “apathy” or even “compromise,” and it has become an
acceptable in the church today. But it is
NOT acceptable with God. We are no longer looking at the Pearl of
Great Price, but to self and our fleshly interest that are more
acceptable and pleasing to us.
But
praise God for His infinite grace and mercy, He wants to give His
children another chance to return to the Holy One of Israel and enter
into His rest. He is our LIFE—the very beat of our heart. And we must get to know His heart by resting our heads there. We are One with Him. He gave us His name and we are to be His Voice, eyes, feet and hands. We must see and hear and understand all that He is and intends for us by walking in His faith. We can no longer to afford to ignore God, or the signs of the times.
On
August 25, I went to get a taco that night. While I was eating with
the owners when their daughter called from the hospital, because
she was having pain down below and she was just two months along in her pregnancy. So
Mario, her father who speaks English, said they were going to see
her, but asked if I would pray. I said sure, but satan
tried to stop me by putting doubts and fears in my mind. I chose
to ignore them, and prayed. Declaring full restoration for the mother
and protection for the unborn child, and peace of mind. Then as I
left to walk back home, I declared, there are no miscarriages in the
Kingdom of God.
At
the end of the week, I went back to get a hot dog and see how their
daughter was doing, even though I already knew. They told me everyone was fine and thanked me, again. However,
as I was finishing my hotdog, Mario told me that there was another
mother who was seven month pregnant, and their appeared to be a
serious problem with the unborn baby, and wanted to know what to do.
He then showed me several sonogram photos of the baby. What I saw did
not even look human, but a mass of lump and bumps of flesh. I was
shocked and I had never seen anything like it before.
O God, then
satan tried tell me to abort the child. But, I chose to ignore him, because I knew who is in
control, and who I was and who gives life, and who takes it way. So I
laid my hand on the photos and prayed by faith, not by sight, and
guard my words. I said, God can heal a person outside the womb and
You can certainly restore ones inside the womb; despite what we
saw--nothing is impossible this God. I prayed peace over the parent I
told satan this child belongs to God, and you can't take it. And the child would grow to know the love and power of Her Heavenly Father, and be a bless to others. When I
finished praying, Mario said that I made him cry and he used a napkin
to wipe his eyes. As I walked back home, I felt God pleasure and He
lead to pray more in the spirit. When I was finish, I declared no
more satan, the are no birth defects in the Kingdom of God.
The
people will come, to see, to hear and to touched the robe of God's
Sons and Daughters. This is our mission and our mandate. This world will eventually understand
that the Father really does cares and loves His children. Much more
than we will ever know.
