Be Affected By Me

Why are you down-cast? My joy is your strength. Put on My joy in the midst of what you see. Be affected by ME more than the circumstances, more than by your flesh and you will remain in My strength and in My joy. I am your encourager; I am your up lifter. All that you need is in Me.

The Cries Of The Church For America

Written October 23rd, 2008

Great change is coming to this country. The shift and changes have already occurred in the spirit realm. Know that change is coming to the churches of America, for your area. The light of My Son carries with it responsibility on those who pursue Him, on those who seek Him, on those who align themselves with My will.

What is the responsibility? It is to be holy as I am holy. It is to not be like the world or let the world pollute you or corrupt you. My church is to be the spotless bride. The lofty will not be long in this camp of the holy. in the camp of the righteous, in the camp of true servants who will give their lives for the cause, for a brother or sister to show the love of Christ. There is a cleaning out that I must do in the body of Christ. I will not tolerate arrogance for it pollutes every part of the church. It pulls down the very cause of why the church exists. The humble will hear the good news and be glad at what I am bringing to My church. Those who take risks in following My lead will reap GREAT rewards, not only in heaven but in their lifetime.

Truly the sanctified will win the battle. They are empowered by Me, by My Holy Spirit. The first shall be last and the last shall be first in My station. He who exalts himself will be humbled and the humble will be exalted in My Kingdom and in My plan and in the work I am doing in your area and in this nation.

Time has come for restoration; the restoring of what originally has been. Let the weak say I am strong; for I will strengthen them greatly in this time. Modern does NOT have to mean corrupt. Modern does NOT have to mean debauchery. Modern does NOT have to mean without God. For I am still here and I will restore all that has been stolen from America. I will renew her strength once again. For the cries of My people have come up to me showing Me they are ready for My move.

Babel In America

Written Friday, October 10th, 2008

I am sending Myself to America in the time of crisis, in the time of woe. Those who are calling out to Me have moved the pace that has accelerated My coming. It is not a coming as in “My return.” This is a coming as in “My Fullness and My power.” The tower of Babel, the god of this country, is coming down. The rafters are falling, that which supports the tower is crumbling. But all is not lost, for I will be in the midst of it ALL. I will be there for those who cry out to Me, and I will rescue them. But there will be many who will not cry out, many who will die in their sins. The lofty will be brought low, as Nebuchadnezzar was.

The Church, what about the Church? Those who will turn to Me will see Me and be changed and will be brought to the place where I have meant for them to be all along. To those who will not turn, the doors of the Church will be closed. There will be a bringing in, a coming forth, an admitting to wrongs, a repenting of hearts. And then MY JOY, oh, MY JOY unspeakable and full of MY GLORY, will descend like a flood, and the watchful will see it coming, and the watchful will shout it out and will embrace it, and will be engulfed by it.

Then new words will rise up and come out of the mouths of My people, because they will be changed and will see My likeness and My glory. A new song will be sung because new hearts will embrace My movement, My appearance. You can see the joy now. You don’t have to wait for the disaster in order to see the joy. In the midst of the tower falling, My people can walk in MY JOY.

Those who are not prepared, those who are not solidly standing firm in Me, will fall prey to fear. And when they fall, it will be difficult to pull out, because their foundation is not settled in faith and trust IN ME. Those who are strong will be used to lift up the weak and to help lead them to a place of faith and assurance in WHO I AM.

So many of My people have come to put their trust in Babel and all that it stands for. Trust in this world produces a shallow and unstable foundation, and anything built on such a foundation will come to ruin.

Will you trust Me when you hear the rumbles of the quake, when you see the tower swaying? Many in this generation have not seen destruction, and many are not expecting it to come. My people, who are listening to Me, will hear and will be prepared. For revival can come when people realize that what they need most of all is Me.

Joy

Share My joy, it is available. It is the feathered wings that you use to ride upon the storm, to raise above the afflicted place. The choices are always there to make. Joy, having MY joy is a choice. You choose it, it is yours. It takes looking at the right things for joy to be a part of you and to remain. Where are you choosing to look?

There is a noise in heaven when My people make the choice to walk in joy. Those in heaven join in. Joy not only empowers you, but when it remains it empowers things in the spirit realm, in My realm. Because that is what My realm can agree with, can connect with, can associate with, can join up with, can partner with, can become one with; those who are in My joy.

Joy comes from Me, and when you connect with it, it is connecting you with My realm and the power that is there. Even in the time of sorrow and grief, one can find things to thank Me for, to be joyful in, Following My light, in My light is JOY.

Many people go through life without a purpose. YOU have a purpose. That should bring JOY and fulfillment in it’s accomplishments. Even My Son had the “joy set before Him” as He endured the cross. No suffering is ever put to waste. My Kingdom brings out ‘good’ in all things. The exciting journey of faith is watching Me turn a broken life into something useful and powerful for My Kingdom. Rejoice in the walk of faith for it is before you!

Hebrews 12:2 “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the rigt hand of the throne of God”

Psalm 43:5 “Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.”

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Romans 8:28 “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

Faith And Actions

Actions speak louder than words. Words without action mean nothing. The right action done in My power produces great fruit. Faith is an action word. It is a verb, not a noun. Faith without works IS dead. Faith is not to be dead, but it is to be alive. Believing in something before it is visible is faith. Faith must have truth to stand on. You find truth in My word. Truth has life, MY life in it and when it is believed in and put forth with action, that is when the invisible things become visible. I want My people to belive in My word SO much that they will take truth and move out in faith and see the impossible become possible, the invisible to become visible. There is more to this life than what you ‘see.’

Is that all you want to know is what you can see? “No, Lord! I want what I haven’t seen to be visible. I want to see more than what has been seen.” You will see if you believe and if you step out to see the unknown, then it will be “joy unspeakable and full of glory.” Oh My glory has been hindered by the lack of believing and the lack of stepping out.

There are the fruitful lives and the unfruitful lives. Do you think the fruitful lives became fruitful without faith, without taking great steps in adversity? That is where faith is tested the most, in adversity. But if you take the steps of believing for more, even in the broken place, you will NOT be disappointed. Know that you eyes will see more and your life will accomplish more in this walk of faith and in the believing before seeing.

That is how the saints of old got through much adversity. They dared to believe, they dared to trust Me, to believe that I AM the Great I AM. That I am everything My word says I am. These things are not done without warfare. The enemy will fight the challenge of faith. But it is SO worth fighting for.

The full gospel includes faith, intertwined with the method of faith. Never void of faith. If you hold on to your way, you will fail to see Mine. My thoughts are not your thoughts and My ways are not your ways. You must surrender your fallible ideals and run after My ways. Search for them and take hold of them and make them your “life.”

What is going to trigger this change in your life and in your mind? Let it be the calling of My Spirit. For when you come when you are called, it will produce deeper life within. But if you wait for a more desperate time, it will take longer to take root. So come with trusting, come with faith. Come ready to take action and move in My way. THE way, THE truth and THE life.

JAMES 2:24 “YOU SEE THAT A PERSON IS JUSTIFIED BY WORKS AND NOT BY FAITH ALONE.”

JAMES 2:26 “FOR AS THE BODY APART FROM THE SPIRIT IS DEAD, SO ALSO FAITH APART FROM WORKS IS DEAD.”
