Invest In The Kingdom Of God

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS


INVEST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD


Many things have shifted in this new season.  Some friendships have shifted and this will position each one in the body as He wills.  Do not resist the change but flow with it.  Many friendships will be better and more Kingdom oriented as a result.  Those friendships that were not for My kingdom purposes will fall from your life.  Continue as you are led to pray for them but do not try to hold on to them for they will hinder you in the season ahead.  Be aware also of those the enemy tries to put there to slow you down and keep you from doing that which needs to be done.  I am setting my house in order.  Time in My Word, prayer and intercession will bring dividends in the time ahead so take time now to invest in the Kingdom of God.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.  Matt. 6:33 (NKJV)

Apostolic Favor

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Apostolic Favor


redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:16

My servants the prophets must redeem their time because the days are evil. No longer will they be
permitted to do that which is not for the Kingdom of God for now is the time to harness the anointing and to those that are willing to forsake all, I will give apostolic favor enabling them to have the help needed to complete their assignments. They will be completed with new zeal, in record time.

Family situations will have new favor that you might have all things done in my Divine order for my precise purposes. You will teach and instruct the body with angelic help and the thoughts will be Divine thoughts downloaded at just the right time. The apostolic and prophetic will be married together that kingdom assignments be fulfilled in less time with energy left over.

Pray without ceasing. Expect the unexpected! Expect miracles! Expect the healing anointing to flow laying hands on the sick, they shall recover. No longer will it be said, God no longer heals for by faith you will believe and even impart to others the healing anointing. Some shall take it to the nations, some into the hospitals and streets of your nation. Expect! Expect! Expect!

Battling For The Soul Of A Nation!


CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Battling For The Soul Of A Nation!

911 has been in my thoughts as we view news clips of a decade past. Hearts with hope that day crushed by the impact of the terrible attack on America. Innocence robbed from so many youth as they in their prime years viewed such loss in their homes and families. Firefighters, so valiant, officials giving up their lives to rescue others. Many still trying to make sense of it all, when only God holds the answers for our lives.

It seemed that early morning as the planes flew into the towers and the Pentagon that God had taken His hand of protection off of America. There was a breach called sin that the enemy could penetrate and he did.
How well has America recovered? How well have adjacent nations done in their own country to deal with deep seated sin issues at hand. Can this war against terrorism be fought in conventional ways or do God's prophets and others need to remain in the prayer closet and battle for the soul of a nation.

We are no longer calling sin, sin in many churches. The Word of God has been sacrificed, for lunches and flowery messages that tickle the soul without bringing life changes so necessary for our nation to survive. Throughout scripture the protection of a nation is in direct correlation as to whether or not that nations God is the Lord.

Do those who are not walking with Jesus have a right to that protection? Does a nation who is now permitting same sex marriage, as does Canada, have a legal right to protection? Sin is a reproach to any nation. We have removed the ten commandments from our schools and teach our children instead that alternate lifestyles are okay and condone them. We want our schools protected and yet have thrown the Lord out of our them. Gone is the day that prayer starts the day in our classrooms.

May God help us to get it right. These are not the only sins in our nation and all sin is grievous to a Holy God. Sin separates man from God and so we must ALL lay aside our sin if we are to live in peace and have protection. It starts in the house of God! What are we preaching from our pulpits? Are we walking in the whole counsel of God or do we walk in fear of man? God loves the sinner, and the Lord knows each heart and that we are but dust, but now is the time for lasting change that can only come through true repentance.

Now is the time to repent of sin. The doors are open and the Trojan horse has entered and the enemy is already in our nations just waiting to strike again. Canada is not exempt and yesterday when hearing of the quake on Vancouver Island the Lord had me begin to repent of the sins in our nation, naming some. We are at a crossroads and it is NOW that we must make a decision to be hard on sin and eradicate it from our individual lives. Leadership needs to examine their hearts and see if there is any wicked way in them. How can they lead a people if they are walking in sin themselves? The blind cannot lead the blind and so we must pray without ceasing for lasting change.

Pray for our enemies and pray for those that despitefully abuse us and persecute us. Pray also for the peace of Jerusalem as we see it heating up in the middle east. There is a direct correlation to the nations of the earth whose God is the Lord and their walking in peace.

To the Nations leaders, open your eyes to the Word of God and see that if you come against Israel in trying to divide Gods land that you are coming against the Lord.

In remembering 911 know that we are still battling for the soul of a nation. Let us pray and intercede each doing our part. Perhaps Joplin could have been averted, and 911 never happened had the body of Christ been fervent in prayer and intercession. Let us repent of OUR sin, and move on to a new place in God. A place of prayer and intercession that overturns the world and forever changes it for good.

Let us watch and pray standing on guard for our nation knowing that Christ is the only answer for ALL nations and that He would have all men to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 1 Timothy 2: 1-2

Prayer For Africa


CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Prayer For Africa


The Lord woke me up this morning and so I came downstairs at exactly three am eastern time. As I began to pray in the spirit the only word I recognized was, Mandela and somehow equated my praying to do with former President Mandela and Africa. I even did a militant march down my hallway after praying for awhile. Whatever the need it was on Father's heart and then I wondered how old this man was and saw that he was ninety three. I said Lord are you taking him home shortly. It was a thought and I am not making it a thus saith the Lord except to say, we need to pray for Africa and her people that the Lord will set all things right and bring in a harvest of souls. He makes everything beautiful in His time.

Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. John 4:35

Pray For Those Sent To The Nations!

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Pray For Those Sent To The Nations!




There are those that travel regularly to the nations to preach the gospel of the Kingdom. They need our prayer and intercession during those times. Let us stand on guard for them, praying for the Lord to use them and protect them. There has been and always will be an onslaught against men and women of God who are willing to pay the price and lay down their lives for the brethren. Together we will thwart the plans of the enemy and see a harvest of souls brought into the Kingdom.

9For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. 1 Cor. 16:9

Many Are Called...

 

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Many Are Called...

For many are called, but few are chosen. Matt. 22:14
Interpretation of a Dream Given To Me by the Lord:

I keep hearing the scripture "many are called but few are chosen". I think the pastor represents the Lord and he is calling out individuals [those who are compassionate and weeping over the needs of human kind]. Some stepped up and chose to follow Him and then He looked to you and you stepped forward. The woman speaking may have been a distraction to you to listen to her voice in the process of walking forward and stepping into the full measure of the calling of Christ Jesus....
(interpretation by Apostle/Pastor Ruby Underwood a true friend and mentor in the Lord).

In this dream I knew Father was speaking to myself to come deeper but also there was/is a message in it to the body of Christ. For many are called, but few are chosen. 14 Matt. 22: The spirit of God is looking for those that will follow Him regardless of the cost. In the dream many were seated in the meeting but as the Lord stopped the meeting and called forward those that had tears of intercession in their eyes, there were only three myself included that has tears and came forward. Few were willing to pay the price.

Many talk about intercession, write about intercession but do NOT spend any concrete time interceding. The Father is looking for intercessors to stand in the gap, will you be one of them? Will those called die to self, and go deeper into this much needed place of intercession. It is a lonely place and one that man will not see but the Father looks upon the heart. He sees into the deep recesses and is calling deep unto deep and saying to you, will you be that one, that intercessor that will speak in the prayer chamber to the Lord on behalf of men?

Will you stand in the gap that people can be spared, and come to know Me? Will you watch, and pray and be that one to turn around events and see that judgment is lessened or averted altogether in the life of those that do not deserve His mercy and grace? God is looking at you brother, Father God is calling you sister into the place of intercession. Put aside all the distractions for they are many and enter into your place of prayer. Stay there till the calamity is past.

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in you: yes, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over. Psalm 57:1

Be willing to pray! Do not doubt your effectiveness because the enemy tells you that you do little good and cannot pray. If you were ineffective he would not tell you this.

Come to Me with a clean heart, a pure heart, and enter into My presence with praise and true worship. I am speaking to you and many do not know My voice. I AM calling you! In this hour the Lord does NOT want you distracted with anything. He does NOT want your eyes on the titles of men but wants you to see past the outward appearance the hidden man of the heart. There is much to distract in this hour. Many things can appear as an angel of light but unless you bend your knee before Me you will not be able to discern. Rightly divide the word of truth. Learn to walk past the distractions, and hear My call. Many things may look good but discern if time spent in this way will allow you to fulfill you true calling as that intercessor God has called you to be.

The Lord is laying things on the line. He has entreated many and called but you have not responded. The warm bed at night feels good and a little slumber leaves the body of Christ open to attack. We are living in a time where intercessors must be on the wall. The Word of God needs to be prayed by the Spirit that His Kingdom may come and His will be done in the earth. Hear what the Spirit of God is saying to you today. Hear His voice for He is entreating you to come to Him. Spend time with Me and I will honour it. Spend time with Me and know Me. Hear My Still small voice for I am speaking to you, beloved come into our prayer chamber and spend time with Me. Come.

"I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30

And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. Isaiah 59:16

The Kingdom Of God Is Within

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS



The Kingdom Of God Is Within



Never become satisfied where you are at in God. Never become complacent but always desire to go deeper and know Me more fully. My presence is fullness of joy. At my right hand are pleasures forevermore. Seek first the Kingdom of God and My righteousness and all things will be added to you, pressed down, shaken together and running over. Desire My presence above all else. Desire Me and I will give to you all that is in the Kingdom, to further it FOR MY GLORY! Though the earthly Kingdoms shake and crumble, the Kingdom of God will last forever. The Kingdom of God is within you. I am doing a work in the hearts of My remnant. I am doing a lasting work NOW in My children. I call you children because I said that unless you become as little children you will not enter the Kingdom of God.





The Kingdom of God has come. It is within you. Open your eyes and see even where I have placed you for My glory now and in the future. You have been strategically placed, that others might come to know Me. I am putting people around you and they may not be who you would choose but they are the needy that need to learn of Me, that need salvation and freedom and need to grow up into mature sons and daughters of the Lord. This is your place of deeper learning. For many seasons you have been fed but now in turn you are feeding My sheep. Did I not say to Peter, if you love me, feed My sheep three times?





It is now a time to see the fields for they are white to harvest. Feed My Sheep! Feed them for they are hungry. Feed them for they are lost. Feed them for they are in hospitals dying without Me. If you love Me then feed the hungry, feed the lost, feed the dying with heavenly manna that they might never thirst again. This is the message of the Kingdom, love joy and peace in the Holy Spirit. Sow love, sow joy, sow peace in the Spirit to those that are hungry for I will lay them on your path, I will take you to them, and bring them to you.





You have entered a new season of understanding My will in a deeper way. You are beginning to have new understanding to that which I am doing. Behold I do a new thing in your heart. I am stretching you. It is about the needs of others. It is about being strategically placed to meet those needs. You are a vessel that is open to being used. Shine as a light on a hill that cannot be hid and do not hide your light under a bushel. In other words, be available to be used by Me, instant in season and out for the greater glory of My Kingdom. My light will shine in you. They will see My love and it will draw them as a bee is drawn to honey. Trust Me and I will fulfill My promises in you.



Come against all that is coming against you and your family and have new hope that the dead bones will live. They dry places will be watered again. Hearts that have been parched, because of a lack of My Word will be watered again. The Kingdom of God will come within them as you intercede fervently for your family to be stirred. Do not be surprised at that which I will do and do not think that I move in conventional ways, for the ways of My Spirit are according to My Word and will. Kingdom purposes will be fulfilled even in the storms of life. They are often used for the greater glory so pray, watch and see that which I will do.





I am going to be manifested in you, in your family, in the body of Christ and the Kingdom of God will burn in their hearts. Did not the disciples say, that their hearts burned within them? I am kindling a new fire in your heart. I have heard the cry. I have seen the need and desire for more of Me. I said this is a new season so enter it with joy and expect greater things for the Kingdom of God. My love for you has no end. Fear not but put your trust in Me and I will fulfill My word in you.





But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come on you. Luke 11:20

Divinely Positioned For Kingdom Purposes

Divinely Positioned For Kingdom Purposes

There are those that have not tried to elevate themselves but waited and allowed Me to divinely position them.  They have waited on Me for that elevation and not looked for the elevation of man.  Mans praise will be short lived, for man is one way today and another tomorrow.  My Word is the most sure word of prophecy and is always stable, always the same, yesterday, today and forever.  I do not change for I am the Lord.  I am watching over those that are mine, My bride, My beloved.  I am watching over you with Godly jealousy.  I would that you turn to Me fully for all that you need and depend on Me.  In the days ahead rely on Me to get you through the tough times.  I alone will bring you through to completion.  I alone will be your provision.  I am always the one that takes care of My bride thought it is often done though others.  Be positioned in your heart toward Me, be fully turned toward Me in all things. 



Fear now that which is to come, but fear Me for I am your Father and My love for you never fails.  Discern all things and do not go by outward appearance at any time.  Things look good that may be evil.  There are those that will reach out to you and you need to discern the heart.  Pray without ceasing and wait on Me and your ears will hear and your eyes will see.  Be positioned on your face before Me, interceding for the needs, first in leadership, them in your families and churches.  See the nations, they are in turmoil.  Pray as led by My Spirit and do not let up but bombard heaven, and find answers to what you see before you.  Pray into these situations as led of My Spirit and come together with others to pray.

 Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together, though groups are as little as two or there, I am there in your midst.  It is not the numbers, man looks for the numbers but I am looking to see Jesus and if I am there in the midst this is the important thing.  Look and discern, do I see Jesus here.  Do I see the moving of Holy Spirit, are others walking in holiness.  It is these that you must fellowship with.  Iron sharpens iron and you must fellowship with those that will bring you higher.  You are being called higher.  I am the Lord and there will soon come an end to that which you have known, eternity will be ushered in and it is time to be busy bringing in the harvest.  See the fields for they are white to harvest.  Pray them in, go and get them and preach the gospel of the Kingdom to every person that not one might be lost. 



Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, pray for the Jewish people that they might see Jesus.  Pray that all things will be put in divine order and there will be order in My house.  I am a God of divine order.  I am a God that is holy.  I am a God of peace.  The Kingdom of God is love, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit.  Draw night to Me and I will come close to you.  Seek the Kingdom of God first and His righteousness and all things will be added to you to do My Work.  The Kingdom of God supplies your need.  It is the Kingdom of God that will finance your work of ministry.  The Kingdom of God has an unlimited supply for all that I am calling you to do.  Appropriate it by faith.  By faith, see the Kingdom of God for it is within you.  Indeed the Kingdom came and the church was born, pray that others see the Kingdom of God.  Allow Me to do a lasting work that will bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.  Behold I am coming in your hearts as you open them to Me and I am returning for a glorious church.  Prepare your hearts and make yourself ready.  Behold I come quickly!

Honouring Leadership

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Honouring Leadership


The Apostle Paul did not mince words when he said, "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:" 2 Timothy 4:14. There are times that we need to warn others about enemies of the cross of Christ. Where is the line between speaking the truth in love, warning and judging. We are to protect the body of Christ, standing guard against the jezebel spirit that would speak against the true prophet of the Lord, supposedly pointing the finger and calling good evil and evil good.

This spirit would try and murmur against the true prophetic voice and cause dissention in the body of Christ. It even tries to dig itself in with leadership to undermine true prophetic authority. We need to love people but hate the spirit that operates through them to kill, steal and destroy.

Just the other day the Lord had me warn a person who would come into contact with one such man. This man over a period of years has come against a true prophet of God. Little things, like taking a scripture about a false prophetess and then pointing the finger at the authentic woman of God. We need to ask the Lord to bless these people the way they need blessing, but also to restrain their evil work.

No more should we allow the foe to speak against God's prophets. We need to discern enough not to receive the lie. We need to see the enemy at a distance and discern his evil work. No more will we allow the enemy to come against the true prophetic voice.

No more will we stay silent and allow the foe to do his dirty work. No more will those voices be entertained and one must not even listen to their murmuring but say, "I do not want to listen to gossip". It is time for the church to not listen to the murmuring and gossip against authorities in the body of Christ. Many listen to their Pastor being maligned and do nothing. Many stand aside and allow others to speak against true apostles and prophets of God. It is time church to take a stand for the Lord against those that would be used by the enemy, ever so sweetly in the church under the guise of we must pray about this. How often the foe comes along and says, let me share this with you but beloved, it is not for prayer it is to gossip.

Let us put an end to gossip in the church. Let it stop now, says the LORD. I have called My people by My name and they have been called to honour Me. They are to speak in holiness and love one another. I am not returning for a body that is full of gossip but one that is filled with My Spirit. It is time for the mouth of My own to have hot coals put to their lips, for many are children with unclean lips. Their hearts are far from Me when they gossip against those for whom I paid the price in full. My bride is to be protected. My apostles and prophets are to be honoured for they are indeed leadership in My body. No more will I allow these things to take place without raising up a standard against those that speak evil against My servants. Repentance is needed for the words spoken against those in authority that have been set into My body. I will forgive, and remember the sin no more when there is true repentance. Pray for those in authority over you and love one another with a pure heart.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Romans 14:2

Divinely Positioned To Receive?



Divinely Positioned to Receive!

Are you divinely position to receive?  Often we wonder why we are not receiving God's promises in our lives and others seem to have all the blessings.  We need to take time with Father and see if we are doing that which the Lord would have us to do.  Are we walking in obedience to His Word in accordance to God's government?  Are we doing the best of our ability to win that husband or wife to the Lord?  Submitting to one another in the fear of God. Are we loving as Jesus loved and putting the Kingdom of God before all else in our lives? Doing these things will position us where are able to receive from the Lord.  

In His Kingdom are exceeding great and precious promises and we are to appropriate them by faith, stand on them, and claim them as ours, for they were paid for in full by the blood of Jesus.  We are to walk in His fullness and out of it give to others. 

Lately I have seen much rebellion from one in the body of Christ.  Over years they have fed into this spirit and the jezebel spirit is manifesting as is the spirit of anti Christ.   They had and still do have such potential in Christ but the death of self needs to come and they need deliverance from these spirits. Sincere repentance is need in their life. The more one feeds on rebellion the more they will be taken over by the enemy.  Doors need to be shut, and repentance needs to come for this one to truly be restored to their rightful place in Christ.  You see beloved, we can toy too long with sin and sooner or later it will bite.  We cannot partake of the Lord's table and the table of devils. Only in taking up our cross and following Him will we find true happiness.  

Kingdom living means being seated in Heavenly Places in Christ and by faith appropriating ALL that this means.  We cannot sit there and dangle our toes in the world and think we will receive from the Lord.  Sin only looks good for a season and so are its pleasures.  If you have come short of the glory of God, repent and He will forgive you your sin.  Decide once and for all to come out of the world and walk faithfully with Father each day.  If you repent of your sin, He is faithful and just to forgive you from your sin and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. 
Position yourself with a listening ear to Father and let Him show you where you are at today.  Then you will be Divinely positioned to receive all that the Lord has for you.  His exceeding great and precious promises are yours by faith so reach out to Him today and receive. The Kingdom of God and His government is one of Divine order.  Let Father restructure your life today. Open your eyes and see that the Kingdom of God is within you.  32And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?  Luke 24:32
