I must encourage the Body of Christ not to forget FAITH. In this day of knowledge and access, there is a desire to instantaneously know and understand everything.
Yes, we must know the Word of God. Yes, we must have a relationship with the Father. However, we will never know and understand everything. We cannot forget FAITH.
I'm bothered to see so many turn away from things simply because it requires faith. We must remember that all we believe and know is based on just that - FAITH. Without faith, it's impossible to please God.
I stand, as a preacher, openly admitting that I don't know and understand everything about God. Yet, I have a conviction that He is real. I have a testimony... personal experiences that I cannot deny. I admit that every experience cannot be explained to satisfy the comprehension of others. BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME A BELIEVER!
In all your getting, get an understanding, yes... but don't neglect FAITH.
ORDER IN THE CHURCH!

Seeking a "word"?
For those who are constantly seeking "a word"... Read your Bible. Turn down your plate and get on your face before God. Talk to Him before you expect Him to say something special to you!
TRUE prophets are not popular and not sought out, especially by the rebellious. Why? Their job is to bring correction and instruction... to turn God's people back to Him... Not to more money, houses, cars and spouses.
As noted in Jeremiah 1:10, they are called "...to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."

Calling All Men...
As we celebrate fathers in the season, we must pray and intercede on behalf of God's men. As a woman in ministry, I am often challenged with the balance of authority and order.
The word of God tells us that there is neither male nor female in the spirit (Galatians 3:28). What does that mean? It means that through Christ, God is able and willing to use any of us, regardless of sex, origin, economic status or any other factor aside from holiness. This is simply the fulfillment of His promise, that His spirit would be poored out on all flesh (Joel 2:28, Acts 2:17).
Still, we must not forget the order of God. Certainly, God gifts and uses women in the ministry and has enabled us to prosper in the world alike. But, does this give us the authority and freedom to dismiss the men of God? God forbid!
I am 100% certain of my call and assignment as a prophet and a pastor. I am also 100% certain of my husband's place in my life. He is my leader, called to love me as Christ loves the church. He grants me the grace to move forward, but I always esteem him as the final authority. He is the priest in my house, regardless of the gifts I have been afforded. At the end of the day, I NEED MY HUSBAND! We are one, and without him, I cannot fulfill the call of God on my life.
The enemy has been busy building a spirit of feminism in the church, but this is certainly NOT of God. In fact, the same spirit that fuels lesbianism will fuel the thought that women of God "don't need a man." Yes, SPIRITUAL LESBIANISM. It's the concept and idea that God's natural order can be abandoned to fulfill a lustful sense of freedom. Beware of that cunning and crafty spirit.
True and strong women of God are not intimidated by the idea of God's men taking their rightful places. In the same manner, a strong and confident man of God is able to flow by the Spirit of God without muting the gifts of God's woman in his life.
The Church must return to God's divine order. Men of God, TAKE YOUR PLACE! Don't wait for it to be handed to you on a platter. Use your authority to walk in your rightful position with God!
Men, you are the stronger vessel. You were created and ordained by God to be the head. So, take your place in the home and in the church. We need you there!
For those men who walk in your divine assignment, remain encouraged. Your strength and anointing are building a generation of restorers in the Church. To GOD be the glory!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Pastors, According to His Heart
Jeremiah 3:15 "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding."
IGNORANCE is NOT God's plan for His people. Leaders, particularly pastors, are called to equip the people with "knowledge and understanding." When we sit in church and study God's word, we ought to grow in knowledge. KNOW THE WORD OF GOD FOR YOURSELF.
God is showing me a pa...ck of wolves, disguised as pastors. They are controlling and mean-spirited, but very charismatic, at the same time. They seduce the people into believing they are "most powerful." The people are gripped by fear, so nothing is challenged, questioned or discussed, even when the Holy Spirit reveals that it's wrong. The people are discouraged from operating in ministry.
Yes, we do need order! We must remember, though, God's order brings freedom. Order, as defined by men, brings bondage. Please don't confuse the two.
Any leader who is threatened by your understanding of God's word and your ability to hear His voice for yourself is not a leader sent by God. There are some who need to find a shepherd that is sent by God. Every disciple must know God and operate in ministry. We need every gift, every hand and every anointed one busy with Kingdom building. Is it you we're waiting on?

The Sound of War... (REPOST)
The Prophets understand what I mean when I say that I’ve been hearing war drums for the past week. God is trying to warn His people, as He has been. Spiritual warfare is heightened to a place where it has never been before. This time, the enemy is going for blood. The heat has been turned up, so we must be ready. This is not a season for preparation, but a season for war!
In our local church, God has been speaking to us more and more about prayer and fasting. Regardless of our religious backgrounds and teaching, Jesus proved even to His own disciples that demonic power can only be dealt with through vessels who know are prayed up and fasted (Matt 17:21; Mark 9:29).
The pressure is being increased. God does not warn us to breed fear, but He warns us to prepare us. We are victorious if we will be obedient and READY.
"...Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong" (Joel 3:9-10).
People of God, this is the season to GET IN PLACE. This is NOT the time to be religious. It is NOT the time to focus on building our “own” ministries and being “promoted” to the next spiritual title. We need the Apostles to set order. We need the prophets to warn. We need the evangelists to win souls. We need the teachers to instruct in sound doctrine. We need the shepherds to nurture disciples.
God has warned His people. He has shown me that we are going to begin seeing the death of our religious idols, both spiritually and naturally. Look around… Even today another massive earthquake shook the earth – this time in Pakistan. Our God is not playing. He is God and He will be exalted as such! The last days are upon us, and His people must be in proper position. The church cannot continue to steal God’s glory.
People are dealing with demonic activity on a whole new level. I’m getting calls from BELIEVERS who are dealing with depression and possessed relatives… Incubus and succubus spirits in their homes… Yet, we have been warned. Spiritual warfare is upon us.
This MUST be a season of soul winning, but we must also be sober. Ministry will hurt in this season. It will require sacrifice, and that looks different for different people. For some, you may have to walk away from a job, a family member, or even a church. So be it! OBEY GOD! Integrity is key and it is required.
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war (Jeremiah 4:19).
Sound the alarm, Prophets! Many of you have been holding back… Warn the people. Share what you see and proclaim the word of the Lord. Now is the time to rise and GET IN PLACE. Let the prophets be prophets! Proclaim and declare!
Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures!
Luke 18:35-42 NLT
"As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind beggar was sitting beside the road. When he heard the noise of a crowd going past, he asked what was happening. They told him that Jesus the Nazarene[f] was going by. So he began shouting, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
“Be quiet!” the people in front yelled at him.
But he only shouted louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
When Jesus heard him, he stopped and ordered that the man be brought to him. As the man came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord,” he said, “I want to see!”
And Jesus said, “All right, receive your sight! Your faith has healed you.” Instantly the man could see, and he followed Jesus, praising God. And all who saw it praised God, too.
DESPERATE TIMES CALL FOR DESPERATE MEASURES! Stop worrying about what others say and think when it comes to your praise and worhsip to God. Seek after God like never before. Take off the religious costume and get what you need from God! ORDER IN THE CHURCH!!!

The Gospel, According to the Pattern of DirectTV
When you don't pray, read your Bible and study the word, you lose sight of God's plan for your life.
When you lose sight of God's plan for your life, you end up making wrong choices without God's grace.
When you make wrong choices without God's grace, you become bitter and want only to serve your flesh.
When you are bitter and serving your flesh, you fall to pride.
When you fall to pride, you ...die, face judgment and go to hell.
When you die and go to hell, that's it... FOR ETERNITY.
Don't forget to pray, read your Bible and study God's word! Give your life to Christ TODAY!!!
