Video - A Place Prepared For You

Sharing a dream I had last year to encourage anyone who may not have dad present today, Father's Day, because he has gone  home to be with the Lord. It is also meant to encourage anyone who lost a loved one that is now with Jesus. This dream will bless you as it blessed me.

The Lord speaks to me through many dreams and visions. Ever since I was a little boy I would dream multiple dreams throughout the night and still do. I want to make it clear that the Word of God is the final authority in my life and the spiritual fathers and mothers the Lord has put in my life sees to it, but Lord has always used dreams and visions to speak to me and His Word to confirm it.

I say this to encourage you to believe God for the keys to your dream language that you might begin to understand that not all your dreams are pizza dreams. Some dreams you are having hold keys, direction, impartations, blessing and much more. Job 33:14 says, for God may speak in one way or in another, yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction.

Joel 2:25-29
I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame. You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God and there is none else. And my people shall never again be put to shame.  "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.

Be Mindful Of Your Words!

Be mindful of your words...

So this morning I am wide awake at 3am. After tossing and turning for a few minutes I realize that I am being summoned to the study. As I wait for my coffee to brew I am leaning in to understand what is on God's heart that is urgent enough to get me out of bed. The following scriptures seemed to be what is His heart this morning.

Proverbs 12:14 A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth...
Proverbs 13:2 A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth...
Proverbs 13:3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life...
Proverbs 16:23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
Proverbs 17:27-28 He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.
Proverbs 18:20-21 A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; from the produce of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Jesus said in John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak;  and He will tell you things to come.

Jesus also compared the Word and words in general to seeds.

I feel the Lord is saying to us this morning, "Be mindful of your words because they are very powerful. Creation came forth by the power of My Word and by My Word all of creation is sustained. I created you in My likeness and in My image and so your words have power to create and to sustain, but they also have power to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down." John 1:1-3; Genesis 1:26; Jeremiah 1:10

The above scriptures warn us to be mindful of our words because the power of death and life are in them. When the bible speaks of the stomach or the heart it is usually speaking about our inner most being or the mind, will and emotions. So the scriptures are saying a man's inner most being, his mind, will and emotions will be satisfied by the fruit (words) of his mouth. Another way of looking at it is, whatever we are speaking is what we believe and we will have being produced in our lives, which is why it is so important that will fill ourselves with what God's Word says because in it is all we need that pertains to life and godliness.

2 Peter 1:3-4 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

This is so heavy on my heart this morning that I feel I am to sound the alarm. Be mindful of your words! I perceive we are entering into a season of sowing spiritually. The ground is plowed and waiting for seed to be sown into it. Make sure you are sowing words of life and not death. Both will produce a harvest in the near future.

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

This is not a message of doom, but a message of opportunity to prosper. God, our Father, so loves us that He is giving us advance notice of the season we are entering into that we might benefit from it. You can change your circumstances by the Word.

Proverbs 4:4 He also taught me and said to me: "Let your heart retain My words; keep My commands and live."

Proverbs 4:23-24 Keep (guard) your heart (mind, will, emotions) with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth,  and put perverse lips far from you.

Here is a promise for us to meditate on and get into our hearts today. Luke 12:12 Jesus speaking -  "For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour (time/day/season) what you ought to say." What season are we in? The season of being mindful our words.

Closing with this:

The Lord is saying this morning to test the waters and begin speaking His Word over your life. Make a sincere commitment to Him to not only be a hearer of His Word but to be a doer of His Word.

Here is His commitment to us if we are mindful of our words...

Haggai 2:19 "I am giving you a promise now while the seed (words) is still in the barn (mouth). You have not yet harvested your grain, and your grapevines, fig trees, pomegranates, and olive trees have not yet produced their crops. But from this day onward I will bless you."

Zechariah 8:12 "For the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give its fruit, the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew - I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these. And it shall come to pass...So I will save you, and you shall be a blessing, Do Not Fear, let your hands be strong.

Father, teach us what we ought to say and how to say. Let our words be filled will life and not death. Thank you for watching over Your Word coming our of our mouths to perform them on our behalf.

In Jesus' name! Amen.

Video - A Call To Intercession

Okay, so here goes...

 

The Lord spoke to me about posting video clips to the blog this year. This is new territory for me so please be patient with me as I figure out how to do this as I go. It never entered my mind to do clips, but it entered His. LOL

 

So I am having fun with it and most of all I am having fun with Abba.

 

A call to intercession is sounding from heaven like never before and God's people need to wake up and yield to the call. We must because it's our turn on deck, we are all there is. God gave me a dream about the call and the interpretation and it's awesome.

 

I hope you are blessed and encourage to intercede like never before. My prayer for you is the fire of God will be ignited in you and you will burn for the things God is burning for and then intercede until His hearts desires come to pass. Amen.

 

 

Until next time, may the Lord bless you and favor you. In Jesus' name! Amen!

Dream: Preparing a meal for my father

I had this dream not too long ago. I believe it will encourage some. Please share if you feel led.

Dream:
I dreamed I was standing behind my father at a distance. He was sitting at the dinner table. My mother was standing beside me. She had just taught me how to prepare a meal for him. I had the meal prepared and on a tray. I nervously approached him, but I was very concerned and even fearful that he might not like it or that I did not prepare it correctly. My mother was walking with me comforting and encouraging me as I approach him, she assured me that I got the meal right. End of dream.

There are two interpretations for this dream designed to reach two groups.

Some of the symbolism in the dream, but the Spirit may personalize it and give you more -
My father - our Father God
My mother - Holy Spirit who Jesus said would comfort and guide us
Me - you?
Father's backside - His glory revealed
Dinner table - covenant, fellowship

Interpretation 1

The Lord is showing me there are many He has called and equipped to speak for him. He is calling you to speak one on one to those in your sphere of influence, and he is calling another to speak to small groups, and he is speaking to some to speak to the masses. Do not doubt that you can do it or that you have something to offer because He has filled you with His Spirit and placed His very nature in you. Do not try to be anyone except yourself because that is when His presence and glory are released with great ease. Yield to Holy Spirit and allow Him to comfort and encourage you and as you approach Father be confident in this, you will see His glory manifest and this is His covenant with you.

Exodus 33:18, 22-23 And he (Moses) said, "Please, show me Your glory."... "So it shall be, while My glory passed by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with My hand while I pass by. "Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen."

Luke 12:12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.

John 14:25 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all the things I said to you.

Interpretation 2

The Lord is calling out to many who have fallen away, backslidden for one reason or another. He is reaching out with all compassion and tender mercies to you. The desire you have been sensing to get back in your place with the Lord has actually been the Holy Spirit who has been watching over you. He has been tenderly and lovingly nurturing you and comforting you, getting you to the place where you can forgive yourself and others. The Lord has been waiting for you to return to your first love and He has been sure to reserve a place for you at His table, but you must not resist His Spirit any longer...yield to His love and receive His forgiveness. He has set aside a season for you of fellowship with Him and Him alone. You have His undivided attention and He has your best interest at heart. It is His goodness that is drawing you. He loves you and knows you by name.

Revelation 3:8 "I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it...

Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me. "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

2 Corinthians 6:2 ...Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Father, thank you for sending your precious Spirit to live in me, to comfort  and encourage me. Holy Spirit give me the grace to step out with bold assurance to be the ambassador Christ has made me to be and many will come into the kingdom. Jesus, thank you for always receiving me with loving compassion, saving a place for me at Your table and never shutting You door to forgiveness on me. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Don't be afraid!

1 Peter 4:14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part His blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

Matthew 5:14-15 You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it (the earth) be seasoned? It is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Go ahead, be bold for Christ. You are an ambassador remember? And do not grow weary in well doing for it is the love of Christ that is displayed, and it is love that covers a multitude of sins. It's okay to feel hurt or rejected, but do not receive it as yours to keep. Go to Abba, to Father and allow Him to take it from you and to restore you. Remember you cannot change one heart. It is the Spirit that changes hearts. At best, we can only change outward appearances...which is vanity.

Remember that it is the goodness of God that draws men to repentance. Paul said, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. Romans 1:16

So there you have it, the pressure is on the Word to do the saving. It's up to you to share it, and if necessary, use words, you light of the world you.

Father, saturate my brothers and sisters with Your awesome presence now. Bring others around them to encourage and strengthen them. Holy Spirit, bring back to them every prophetic word uttered by You over their lives that they may be anchored in You and that they may wage the good warfare by these prophetic words spoken over their lives. Thank you Abba for Your great, great, great love for them.

Father for all that need to be reminded and for all who have never had someone speak over them, I prophesy over them all:

You will succeed and not fail.
You will go to the next level and season God has prepared for you.
You will walk in all that God has called you to walk in.
You will overcome every fear and insecurity past hurtful experiences has placed in you.
You will rise to the occasion every time.
You will speak to the masses.
You understand the dreams you dream.
You will lead the way for your family.
You will make that business you dream about a reality.
You will be a blessing and a joy.
You will be known as the man/woman God favors highly.
Many will court your favor.

In Jesus name, I decree and declare it and it is established and your Father in heaven is watching over these words to perform them in your life.
