You call me fake but God calls me FAITHFUL!

How quick do we yell “crucify”! “crucify”! When we see our brother or sister “falling short of the glory of the Lord” many times we are quick to yell “crucify” and we often forget the first part of the verse that states “WE all have sinned”.

I have heard the word Fake over the past couple weeks on several occasions. It really began to disgust me. I was getting disgusted with myself. I began to see how many times I yell “crucify”.

On this morning I was speaking with one of my closest friends. She was sharing with me her frustration with people not getting over her mistakes. As we were talking the Holy Spirit dropped in my spirit “People call you Fake and I call you Faithful”. This young lady, like many young people in the body of Christ that are single, was struggling with loneliness. It the mist of her battle God was using her tremendously in her calling. People around her (including me) began to see her struggle, her disobedience, her lying, her lust and more. What some of us missed was the hand of God on her life.

The Holy Spirit spoke clearly to me- “Faithful!” Notice in this blog I will continually say WE! God smacked me this morning with this revelation! Do not get me wrong. There are hypocrites in the Body of Christ (people who heart is far from God) but I am not talking about those people. I am speaking of those people who fall short and run back to the altar crying out in repentance. God wants me to tell you He calls you FAITHFUL!

Matthew 7:3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye”

We are so guilty of walking in un-forgiveness but yet we want mercy and grace shown to us. The word of God supports us correcting one another. He supports us going to our brother and sister to help them see when they are going the wrong way. The question you must ask yourself is when you see them falling short do you forget that you too have sinned. Do you go to them out of love or is it out of hate. Do you make it the topic of your conversations with others? Do you make it the latest joke? Are you seeking to help that person get delivered or are you causing division? Dress it up all we want to, but God is not pleased! We are walking around gossiping, lying, holding on to mess and God is saying I have moved on!

I say to everyone feeling like your past or even your present struggles are causing people to reject you, they may call you Fake but God is calling you FAITHFUL! Check your word out- Noah- drunk; Moses- disobedient; David- liar, adulterous, murderer. Did not God use all of them? Okay now check your mirror- Me- liar, doubt, lust, carnality, gossip, anger, etc. (What does your list look like)

You see I love the story of the prodigal son. After the son left home to do his own thing, he finally got tied of sleeping and eating with the pigs. He decided “I need to return to my Father’s house.” When he went back home, the brother looked at him with jealousy, strife, division, & bitterness in his heart. Many of people in the body of Christ are guilty of having a heart like the bother that never left home. Your brother or sister sins are out in the open and you see the father still using them. You see the hand of the Father still on their life and you allow your heart to grow cold. The Father is looking at that son and saying I am pleased because in the mist of your hang ups and sins you returned home! You returned to the altar.

SO I say to all those that sins are the topic at the lunch table, or sins are on the front page of the news but you are still keep finding yourself in the face of the Father repenting. Ignore your jealous, unforgiving, self-righteous brother or sister that is still yelling “Crucify”! Take these word to heart. PUSH AND FORGET THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND! Like Jesus they said “crucify” but God said Faithful. When it is all said and done allow yourself to be naked and unashamed. God is going to resurrect you out of the grave they dug for you! They call you Fake but the Lord calls you FAITHFUL ONE! In the mist of my mess you are still blessed. So tell your lover and haters a like…. Your opinion of me does not matter because when God is done with me….. GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lord You Are With Us!

I have always loved this poem. I share this with you because the Lord wants you know that He is walking with you. He has never left you. Your name is written in the palm of His hand. Rest in the comfort of knowing He called you, He ordained you, and He is keeping you!

Footprints in the Sand

What a comfort to know the footprints

in the sand are those of our Lord

as he carries us through our times of greatest need!
One night I had a dream—
I dreamed I was walking along the beach
with the Lord and across the sky
flashed scenes from my life, For each
scene, I noticed two sets of footprints
in the sand; one belonged to me, and
the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed
before me, I looked back at the footprints
in the sand. I noticed that many
times along the path of my life, there
was only one set of footprints. I also
noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me, and I questioned
the Lord about it…
"Lord, you said, that once I decided to
follow you, you would walk with me
all the way, but I have noticed that
during the most troublesome times in
my life there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious
child, I love you and I would never,
never leave you during your times of
trial and suffering."
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

If you have a ear hear!

When I speak, will you hear? Many times the Holy Spirit is speaking to us, but we are not able to hear. We have to be open. We have to be in tune to the Holy Spirit when He speaks to us. We have to stay free of all the nonsense around us!

Keep your mind and heart toward heaven. The Lord wants to download information to you and He can not do it if your hard drive is full. Get rid of the junk and open up so that you hear from the Lord.

Your Intercession is God's womb:

If you don’t do it then it won’t get done!
That is what I heard the Holy Spirit speaking to me. As I was sitting in Prayer the Holy Spirit had me searching the books of Psalm. I began to read Ps 139. I just began to cry out to the Father in Thanksgiving! It was so much confirmation to one of my brother’s blog. He shared a revelation he received about God wanting to be intimate with us (go to productofgrace.blogspot.com)

I was thinking about that this morning and the Holy Spirit said “I do want to talk to you more. There are things that only you can do in the earth realm for me and I need to know I can trust you. I need to know that you will follow my instruction.” It was an “Okay God" moment for me. I am reading this book titled The Happy Intercessor by Beni Johnson. She explains that our intercession is the womb that God uses to birth His will into the earth.

It is through intercession that we spend quality time with God. The word often compares God and His church to the relationship of a bride and the groom.In the COVENANT of marriage a husband and wife have sex and become intimate with one another. As a result of this intimacy, children are conceived. And thus we have walking bodies on the earth that were conceived from that time of intimacy. Yes I had a WOW moment! God wants to be intimate with us so that we can receive and give birth to his purpose in the earth.

I often say In-ti-ma-cy is "In-to-me-you-see". God wants to see into us:
Ps 139- “You have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar…… You are familiar with my ways .”

God wants to get intimate with you. He needs us to intercede and pray so that He can release dreams, vision, businesses, & movements to you. You have the womb and God wants you to give birth in this season. This generation needs men and women that will be intercessors. Those that will carry His next move in their bellies and birth it! There are things that only you can do. There are souls that only your words will set them free. There are young girls and boys waiting to hear from you.

Are you ready for this? If you don’t do it then it want get done!

A Lamp on a Stand

"If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Pastor Sherry asked, “what are you hearing when you read Mark 4:21-23.”

Mark 4: 21-22- “He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? 22- For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.”

When I received the text, I begin to look around my bedroom. The room was dark with a little light from my bedroom window. At that time I was making up the bed with that light from the window. Afterward I walked over and turned on the lamp. I look at the bed and it was a big lump in the middle of the bed. I did not see that lump with the small light from the window but the lamp lit up the room and it revealed the lump in the bed.

I thought “a lamp exposes and brings revelation”. The amplified version of this passage reads:
22[[b]Things are hidden temporarily only as a means to revelation.] For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed, nor is anything [temporarily] kept secret except in order that it may be made known.

We must search to walk in the light of the word. Revelation will come when we walk in the light of the word. Things that were hidden from us will be revealed. The mysteries will be opened up to us because we are looking at it with clarity instead under a dim light.

This reminds me of renewing the mind. When we operated in the flesh our minds were viewing life with the light being under the bowl of sin. Once we came into the “light”, things that were hidden from our natural eyes were no longer hidden. The “lumps” in our life could be seen. We began to walk in wisdom and revelation. In return we began to understand and know Jesus more!

My ears hear- Lord give me wisdom and revelation to know you better. Let the light of your word shine so that all that has been concealed and hidden may be brought out into open and disclosed.

ARISE with FIRE!

God is Raising up a GENERATION now! God is raising up blazing ones.

Matthew 24:12-13 states that "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who ENDURES to the end shall be saved"

Has your heart grew cold with religion and sin? Have you become so comfortable in your sin and lawlessness that you no longer house the love of God. Have you been so comfortable going back to the vomit of sin and yet calling yourself a Christian. ALERT! Your heart is growing COLD!

When I think of a cold heart, I think of DEATH! The wages of sin is death. Some people are the walking dead and just wearing a toe tag that label them a Christian. God is not mocked and He is a man that can not lie! He is coming back for those that endure. He is coming back for those that are on FIRE with his LOVE! ARISE DRY BONES and live.

Can these dead and cold bones (hearts) live. The Spirit of the Lord says YES! ARISE!

ARISE generation with GUTS to stand against the persecution, lies, rebellion, and torment. No matter where the torment is coming from, (friends, families, or enemies) the Lord is answering with a great thunder from heaven and He is overturning some stuff. He is shaking the rebellion in the land and what is righteous will be left standing.

SO I release a CRY to the generation to ARISE! DRY BONES & LIVE! Jer 1:17- Therefore prepare yourself and ARISE and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, Lest I dismay you before them... vs. 10 - See, I have set you over the nations and over the kingdom, TO root out and TO pull down, TO destroy and TO throw down, TO build and TO plant.

Wake UP!

Revelations 3:2 - WAKE UP! and strengthen what remains and is about to die for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.

This week I have been at IHOP, The international House of Prayer. It was no big conference it was just worship and sitting in the presence of the Father. It was a time of hearing what the Lord is speaking to us! I just hear WAKE UP and strengthen what remains. Our work is unfinished. We have been in the church. We have gone through the motions. We have song on the worship team. We have been in the morning prayers. God is still speaking that our work is unfinished! The God of host is ready to open up the heavens and pour out his blessings upon us! We are in a moment of time that we must be able to hear God and obey! We must be able to be able to get in line with the Father and carry His gospel without doubt and sin! The weight of sin is what is keeping us from moving into the move of God! God is speaking so clearly! WAKE UP! We are in this world but not of the world! We are just passing through this life but we answer to a higher calling! What are you doing now that the Lord is saying LET IT GO! Revelation 3:15 tells us that He knows our deeds, that we are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! --- Which way will you GO!
