May the Lord double your blessings this year in the Spirit! It's going to take a double portion to make it through the time of trouble that's on it's way! The trials are designed to make you stronger praise the Lord through the storm, sing in the rain! "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 Faith is a fruit of the Holy Spirit Galatians 5:22 Ask God to give your family a surplus NOW so that you ALL survive the famine in the Land. Read Amos 4-5 Love you!!

Woe unto you who think that the next move of God will be by your knowledge without holiness. The Spirit is looking for those who are willing to stand for God so that HE can do it by His might!" Prepare you mind, spirit, and body and strive for His excellence. Glory to God! He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says!

The Lord blessed me with a wonderful day and gave me much peace. He walked with me this day and showed me some things about Him and the promises that He has made to all men, even me despite of myself. He's brought some things to my attention that need to change but He didn't beat me up. He gently let me know and encouraged me to do better. They are challenging but he assured me that He is willing and more than able to accomplish them in me if I am willing. Without words he let me know that He loves me very much. One thing is sure, if any man be lost it wont be because God gave up on them, it will be because they gave up on Him. What a tradgedy. Men may never know til its too late. "..for love is strong as death..the coals thereof are coals of fire. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it." Song of Solomon 8:6-7 The same offer is extended to you to and all who will call on His name. "Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Joel 2:32

THIS PAST SABBATH, MARCH 4^TH 2011 IN HUNTSVILLE, AL
ON A WET & WINDY

 

AFTERNOON, JUST AFTER CHURCH SERVICE, THE SPIRIT IMPRESSED ME TO VISIT

 

A SISTER OF MINE WHO IS SICK AND SHUT IN WITH CANCER. WHEN I WALKED IN HER HOME I SAT DOWN AND BEGAN TO CONVERSATE AND SHE INFORMED ME THAT SHE WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE TO GET SOME VEGETABLES. I OFFERED TO ASSIT HER AND SHE ABLIGED, BUT THE SPIRIT IMPRESSED ME TO INVITE HER TO HAVE A DEVOTION UNTO THE LORD. SHE AGREED AND, AS WE PRAYED TO INVITE THE SPIRIT TO SPEAK TO US AND GIVE US UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD HE (THE SPIRIT) WILLED ME TO ASK GOD TO GIVE US A WORD, EVEN "AS WE OPEN THE BIBLE TO WHEREVER YOU WOULD HAVE US READ." "IT IS GOD THAT WORKS IN MAN TO BOTH WILL AND TO DO HIS GOOD PLEASURE." PHILIPPIANS 2:13
AFTER PRAYING, IN ONE FLIP, I OPENED THE BIBLE TO 1 CHRONICLES 25
& 26 ON THE SAME PAGE AND THE SPIRIT IMPRESSED ME TO READ 25. THIS CHAPTER SPEAKS ABOUT DAVID AND THE CAPTAINS OF THE ARMY, SEPERATED FOR SERVICE WHO SHOULD PROPHESY WITH HARPS, STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, AND CYMBALS. VERSE 8 SPEAKS ABOUT HOW THEY CAST LOTS FOR THEIR DUTY AND FROM VERSES 9 THROUGH OUT THE REST OF THE CHAPTER SPEAKS ABOUT HOW A LOT WAS CAST FOR EACH CAPTAIN AND READS AND REPEATS
"THE LOT NUMBER, THE CAPTAINS NAME, HE, HIS SONS, AND HIS BRETHREN, WERE TWELVE." (THE CHAPTER CONTINUES WITH THIS REPEATED TEXT FROM VERSES 9 TO 31)
FAINTLY, UNDER MY BREATH, SAID "WHAT DOES THIS TWELVE MEAN?" CONTINUING IN THE SPIRIT IMPRESSED MY SISTER TO SCAN THROUGH CHAPTER 26 WHICH CHRONICLES MORE OF GODS FAVOR ON ISRAEL AND WE MARVELED AT GODS ORDER AND ORGANIZATION. FROM THEIR THE SPIRIT LED
MY SISTER TO 1 TIMOTHY 6:10 "THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL" AND WE DISCUSSED A BIT, THEN I HAD A PHONE CALL FROM A BROTHER WHO NEEDED SOME HELP, AND WE PRAYED ABOUT IT, AND THEN THE SPIRIT IMPRESSED MY SISTER TO READ PSALM 8 WHICH SPEAKS ABOUT HOW GOD MADE US JUST A LITTE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS AND GAVE US DOMINION OVER THE CREATURES OF THE EARTH. THEN THE SPIRIT LED US BACK TO 1 TIMOTHY AGAIN, THEN THE SPIRIT LED
US TO PSALM 35 AND MY SISTER BEGAN TO READ "BUT AS FOR ME, WHEN THEY WERE SICK, MY CLOTHING WAS SACKCLOTH: I HUMBLED MY SOUL WITH FASTING; AND MY PRAYER RETURNED INTO MINE OWN BOSOM."
PSALM 35:13 AND JUST AFTER SHE READ VERSE 13 SHE SAID, "THS IS SOMETHING I NEED YOUR HELP WITH." I REPLIED OK, AND SHE FINISHED THE PSALM. THEN, THE SPIRIT IMPRESSED ME TO EZRA 8 WHICH SPEAKS ABOUT HOW EZRA AND COMPANY IN ROUTE TO JERUSALEM FASTED AT THE RIVER OF AHAVA. "THEN I PROCLAIMED A FAST THERE, AT THE RIVER OF AHAVA, THAT WE MIGHT AFFLICT OURSELVES BEFORE OUR GOD, TO SEEK OF HIM A RIGHT WAY FOR US, AND FOR OUR LITTLE ONES, AND FOR ALL OUR SUBSTANCE." 8:21 "SO WE FASTED AND BESOUGHT OUR GOD AND HE WAS ENTREATED OF US." 8:23 "THEN WE DEPARTED FROM THE RIVER OF AHAVA ON THE TWELFTH DAY.." EZRA 8:31
AT THIS MOMENT MY SISTER AND I WERE FILLED WITH AN UNSPEAKABLE JOY AND WE GAVE GOD GLORY FOR HIS RECEPTION AND REVELATION UNTO US!! EVEN AS, WHICH MY SISTER DIDN'T KNOW AT THIS TIME THESE TEXTS IN EZRA ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN MY BIBLE WHICH THE SPIRIT HAD ME DO AROUND CHRISTMAS. ALSO, WRITTEN AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE IS HEBREWS 11:6 "WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD, HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND BELIEVE THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILLIGENTLY SEEK HIM." AND EZRA 8:21, 23, & 31
WITH THE WORDS SPIRIT LED; INSIGHTING A SPIRIT LED FAST. THEN THE SPIRIT IMPRESSED MY SISTER TO LOOK AT THE CALENDAR, AND POINTED OUT TO HER THAT THE NEXT SABBATH IS ON THE 12^TH OF THIS MONTH MARCH 2011 AND IT IS 1 OF ONLY 2 SABBATHS IN 2011 THAT REST ON THE 12TH. WE, BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT, QUICKLY TOUCHED AND AGREED TO FAST & PRAY 3X (THREE TIMES)
A DAY BEGINNING WEDNESDAY MARCH 9^TH THROUGH FRIDAY MARCH 11^TH
FROM 7AM UNTIL 7PM
"..THAT WE MIGHT AFFLICT OURSELVES BEFORE OUR GOD, TO SEEK OF HIM A RIGHT WAY FOR US, AND FOR OUR LITTLE ONES, AND FOR ALL OUR SUBSTANCE." EZRA 8:21 TO ELIMINATE ALL DOUBT AND DISPEL ANY AND ALL UNBELIEF, THERE ARE A FEW OTHER SECURITY THREADS THAT THE LORD HAS WOVEN INTO THIS TESTIMONY TO ESTABLISH ITS AUTHENTICATION. AFTER PRAYING, EVEN CONTINUING TO REJOICE AT ACKNOWLEDGE THE GOODNESS OF GOD, THE LORD REVEALED HIS PRESENCE EVEN MORE. I PASSED MY SISTER HER NOTEBOOK WHICH SHE WANTED TO CONFIRM HAVING MY PHONE NUMBER ALREADY WRITTEN DOWN INSIDE, SHE OPENED IT UP AND POINTED IT OUT TO ME AND HANDED THE NOTEBOOK BACK TO ME THE SPIRIT ALERTED ME TO THE SCRIPTURE REFERENCE WRITTEN BY MY NAME: PSALM 8. UNSPEAKABLE JOY! EVEN AS THIS IS ONE OF THE SCRIPTURES THAT THE SPIRIT LED
US TO DURING THE STUDY. AFTER THAT THE SPIRIT BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THE FACT THAT MY SISTER IS LISTED IN MY PHONE AS "PR TESTIMONY" WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE LORD HAS ELECTED ME AS A BUSINESS MANAGER FOR A MINI-MAGAZINE CALLED THE PRAISE REPORT, WHICH FEATURES A TESTIMONY OF HOW HE PERFORMED A MIRACLE IN SOMEONES LIFE. WELL, WHEN I MET MY SISTER LAST SUMMER SHE DIDN'T HAVE CANCER AND I WAS IMPRESSED BACK THEN TO SAVE HER PHONE NUMBER ACCORDINGLY, EVEN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. THERE ARE ONLY 6 PEOPLE IN MY PHONE SAVED WITH SUCH A TITLE. LEAVING THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP SESSION IN JOY AND WITH AND AT FIRST FEARFUL TO CLAIM, BUT NOW CONVIENCED MORE THAN EVER THAT GOD IS GOING TO HEAL MY SISTER FROM HER CANCER AMONGST OTHER THINGS. AS I WAS DRIVING THE LORD TOLD ME THAT I WAS BLOCKING THE BLESSING BY NOT CLAIMING THE HEALING, EVEN "WHAT I TELL YOU IN THE DARK, SPEAK IN LIGHT, AND WHAT YOU HEAR IN THE EAR, PREACH ON THE HOUSE TOPS." MATTHEW 10:27 LED BY THE SPIRIT MY SISTER AND I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED TO EXTEND THIS INVITATION TO ALL OF THOSE WHO WOULD HEAR AND JOIN IN THE PRAYER AND FAST AS WE SEEK THE LORD IN PRAISE, CONFESSION, AND INTERCESSION EVEN WITH THANKSGIVING AS WE CLAIM HEALING, SEALING, AND REVEALING GIFTS THAT HE HAS GIVEN US IN ETERNITY, AND IS GOING TO GIVE US IN TIME, EVEN ON THE 12^TH DAY OF MARCH 2011. JUST AS EZRA AND COMPANY FASTED THREE DAYS AND DEPARTED ON THE 12^TH DAY SO SHALL WE AND SEE THE DELIVERENCE THAT THE LORD WILL GIVE US FROM THE ENEMY OF OUR SOULS. HUMBLING OURSELVES UNTO THE LORD WE ARE FASTING FROM FOOD
FROM THE HOURS OF 7AM – 7PM AND WILL BE ENGAGING OUR IN SUPPLICATION VIA TELEPHONE CONFERENCE CALL UNTO THE LORD AT THE TIMES OF 7AM, 2PM, & 7PM. IN ADDITION EVERYONE IS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO SPEND TIME SEEKING THE LORD THROUGH HIS WORD DURING THESE HOURS AND BE READY TO SHARE ANY REVELATION THAT THE LORD INTRUSTS TO YOU. THE BIBLE SAYS IF A THEIF BE FOUND OUT "..HE SHALL RESTORE SEVENFOLD; HE SHALL GIVE ALL THE SUBSTANCE OF HIS HOUSE." PROVERBS 6:31 THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS THAT THE DEVIL IS A THEIF AND HE CAME TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY AND I SUGGEST TO YOU THAT BY THE WORD OF GOD HE MUST PAY US BACK THAT WHICH HE HAS STOLEN FROM US, EVEN IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH. DURING THIS FAST WE WILL BE PRAYING IN AGREEMENT ON THAT AND MATTHEW 6:33 "SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED, WILL BE ADDED UNTO US." IN ORDER TO MAKE IT OUT OF THIS SIN SICK WORLD AND TO OVERCOME OUR SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE WERE GOING TO NEED NEW MINDS AND ATTITUDES, A NEW SPIRIT, AND A NEW HEART, AND THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD! THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS OF GOD WILL WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH JOHN 4:23 UNLESS WE BECOME ONE OF THESE THEN WE RUN THE RISK OF HEARING THOSE HEARTBREAKING WORDS "I NEVER KNEW YOU, DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY." MATTHEW 7:23 THE LORD SAYS "MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: BECAUSE THOU HAS REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I WILL REJECT THEE, THAT THOU SHALL BE NO PRIEST TO ME: SEEING THOU HAST FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF THY GOD, I WILL ALSO FORGET THY CHILDREN" HOSEA 4:6 THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS BECAUSE GOD IS SO GOOD AND HIS FAVOR IS STEADILY UPON US, MANY OF US SEE NO ERROR IN OUR WAYS AND MISTAKE THAT OUR GAIN IS GODLINESS (1 TIMOTHY 6:5). WE SAY TO OURSELVES BECAUSE "I'M BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED" MY SALVATION IS SECURE, NOT REALIZING THAT 1 GOD SENDS RAIN ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST (MATTHEW 5:45) AND 2
"FAVOR IS DECIETFUL AND BEAUTY IS VAIN." PROVERBS 31:30
WHEN PEOPLE ASK US HOW WE ARE WE REPLY "OH, IM GOOD" WHEN EVEN OUR MASTER WHEN HE WAS REFERRED TO AS GOOD BY THE RICH YOUNG RULER HE REPLIED, "WHY CALLEST ME THOU GOOD? THERE IS NONE GOOD BUT ONE, THAT IS GOD." MARK 10:18 "CAN AN ETHIOPIAN CHANGE HIS SKIN COLOR? CAN A LEOPARD CHANGE HIS SPOTS? HOW YOU THEN, BEING EVIL CAN DO ANY GOOD? THE SPIRIT HAS GIVEN ME THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS FUTILE TO MAKE SURFACE CHANGES LIKE THIS ON OUR OWN, LESS WE BECOME HYPOCRITES. RATHER "...CLEANSE FIRST THAT WHICH IS WITHIN THE CUP AND PLATTER, THAT THE OUTSIDE MAY BE CLEAN ALSO."
MATTHEW 23:26
THE REALITY IS THAT OUR HEARTS ARE DESPERATELY WICKED AND DECIETFUL…" JEREMIAH 17:9 FOR FROM WITHIN, OUT OF THE HEART OF MEN PROCEED EVIL THOUGHTS AND OTHER ABOMINATIONS LISTED IN MARK 7:14-23 THESE EVILS (PRIDE, ENVYING, COVETING, ETC.) IN OUR HEART ARE THE ROOT CAUSES FOR OUR EVIL ACTIONS (SWARE WORDS, HATING, BOASTING, ETC.) WHICH WE HAVE BECOME BLIND TO "BECAUSE JUDGEMENT IS NOT EXECUTED SPEEDILY UPON AN EVIL DOING, THEREFORE THE HEARTS OF THE SONS OF MAN ARE CONTINUALLY SET TO DO EVIL." ECCLESSIASTIES 8:11 IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY GOTTEN THE PICTURE, THE NEED FOR JESUS CHRIST HAS JUST BEEN MADE EVIDENTLY CLEAR. WITHOUT HIM THERE WOULD BE NO ATTONMENT FOR SIN AND NO HEALING OR DELIVERENCE. WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLING IN US IN FULLNESS
HOW ARE YOU POSSIBLY GOING TO TURN YOUR CHEEK WHEN SOMEONE SLAPS YOU IN THE FACE, OR BLESS SOMEONE WHO CURSES YOU, MUCH MORE LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. IT IS HIGH TIME THAT WE HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE THE LORD AND SEEK HIM FOR A RIGHT WAY FOR US AND OUR LITTLE ONES, AND FOR ALL OUR SUBSTANCE. OUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NIGH AND OUR SAVIOR IS LEADING US TO FAST AND PRAY TO SEEK HIM, EVEN BECAUSE HE LOVES US SO! I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD THROUGH MY TEACHER THE OTHER DAY WHO HEARD RUMORS AROUND THAT IT WAS SAID THAT HE HATES OUR CLASS. HE REPLIED, " I DON'T HATE YOU, I JUST DON'T LIKE WHAT YOUR DOING, YOUR COMPLIANCE, BECAUSE I KNOW WHATS COMING AND IF YOU ALL DON'T GET ON BOARD WITH ME ITS GOING TO BE A DISASTER." I STRONGLY SUGGEST TO YOU, EVEN BY REASON OF INCREASING REVELATIONS IN MY OWN LIFE, GOD IS PLEADING WITH US TO GET BOARD THE ARK AT THIS TIME LESS WE BE LEFT FOR DEAD. EVIL IS INCREASING ALONG WITH THE STRESS OF NATION, FLOODS, AND OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS. (MATTHEW 24) TO SUM THIS FEED UP, WE ALL NEED TO, WHOEVER WILL HEAR, SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH JESUS AND READ HIS WORD
BECAUSE LESS THAN 16% OF CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA READ HIS WORD DAILY. "MAN CANNOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD." MATTHEW 4:4 BEGINNING WITH THIS FAST AND PRAYER SEASON I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO READ HIS WORD DAILY SO THAT YOU CAN "…DO ALL THING THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHS YOU." PHILLIPIANS 4:13 IF YOU DON'T EAT, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE STRENGTH TO STAND WHEN THE DAY OF EVIL COMES? (THAT DAY IS NOW, YOU MUST NOT WAIT ANY LONGER) AS A CHERRY ON TOP OF THIS TESTIMONY, WHEN I FINALLY RETIRED SABBATH NIGHT, EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, THOUGH I WAS TIRED THE SPIRIT IMPRESSED AND I WAS COMPELLED TO WRITE SOMETHING DOWN IN MY JOURNAL ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF GOD AND BY THE BED WAS A CLOCK ON WHICH THE TIME WAS 1:21. AFTER WRITING DOWN THAT TIME IN MY JOURNAL THE SPIRIT LED ME TO LOOK AT THE TIME ON MY CELL PHONE ON WHICH THE TIME WAS 1:18. THE AMAZING THING IS MY SISTER LIVES IN APARTMENT 118. AGAIN, DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, BUT ASK HIM FOR YOURSELF (JOHN 4:42)

"MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME." JOHN 10:27 "IF YOU ARE WILLING AND OBEDIENT YOU WILL EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND." ISAIAH 1:19 SINCE WE NOW KNOW THAT ONLY GOD IS GOOD, THEN THE GOOD OF THE LAND MUST BE THE FRUITS THE OF THE SPIRIT WHICH ARE LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONG SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, AND TEMPERANCE. (GALATIANS 5:22) THE TRUTH IS THE ONLY WAY TO OVERCOME YOUR SELF AND YOUR HEART AND YOUR MIND IS "…NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAITH THE LORD." ZECHERIAH 4:6
