By the way, this will be the year I take you to Israel...

God takes me to Israel...

Many of you know I went to Israel for Feast of Tabernacles last year and how it all came about. I was leaving for work May 1, 2013 and the Holy Spirit said, By the way, this will be the year I take you to Israel. Israel was nowhere on my radar for 2013. I didn't have the funds available for a trip that would be costly. I didn't know one or any group that I could go with, so I said, I'm down, but You will have to make it happen because I can't. Later that same day, the Lord told me to go to a Christian bookstore a few blocks from where I live. I met a man there named Robert Price, who called me by my name. He reminded me we met three months prior at a LaVonne Chandler Men's Conference in Moss Hill, Texas. He said the Lord told him to go to the bookstore and to wait for someone He was bringing there He wanted him to speak to for Him. I told the brother the Lord told me to go to the bookstore too, but didn't say why. He said I was the one he was supposed to talk to for the Lord. In short, he said he got a call from a friend earlier that morning named Janice Sturkie. She told him the Lord had just instructed her to go to Israel for the Feast of Tabernacles in September, and she was to take a group with her. He said, Samuel, I believe the Lord brought you here to tell you that you are to go with this group to Israel this year. He asked if it sounded like God to me. He asked, Do you have a witness with this? I said, Do I? Just twelve hours ago,  the Lord told me He was going to take me to Israel this year! I said I could already imagine how it all went down earlier that morning. The Lord looking down at Janice and saying, Go to Israel for Sukkot and take a small group with you. Then He looks to me and says, By the way, this will be the year I take you to Israel son. So the Lord took me to Israel last year just like He said He would. Janice today is a very near and dear friend.

Sent on assignment...

The Lord instructed me to have silicone bracelets made inscribed with "Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper!"

Isaiah bracelets

He said I was to give them to every IDF soldier and Jewish person that would give me the time of day in Israel. He said His anointing would be on the bracelets causing people to be curious about them and drawing them to me. Wow, from the moment I stepped off the plane in Israel, I was asked about the bracelets. I gave them away all throughout Israel. I was instructed to give them the bracelets to wear as a reminder of the covenant God made with Abraham, and therefore, with them, to bless and protect them for all generations.

 I ministered to soldiers, citizens, orthodox Jews, atheists and I even prayed for a rabbi named Jonah and his wife to have a baby they had been believing the Lord for. Jonah asked about the bracelets and when I told them the story about how I ended up in Israel and how I was to give them the bracelets by instruction from God, Jonah and his wife were so touched that they asked me to pray for them! I was able to tell my story countless times about how the Lord sent me to express His love for them.

You supported the assignment…

Two weeks before I left, the Lord instructed me to provide opportunity to sow into the mission trip He was about to send me on. The response was great and the Lord met several needs while in Israel. Your seed went to an orphanage, missionaries to the Jewish people and other causes there, not to mention the bracelets. The cost of the trip was paid for before the offering request went out; none of the funds went to pay for my trip.

On the day I went to the Western Wall at the Temple Mount, I spent time in prayer at the wall and made mention of every person who sowed finances and prayers, leaving every person’s name on a piece of paper there in the wall. There I learned when the prayers and names fall out of the wall they are collected and placed in jars and buried at the Mount of Olives because that is where Messiah will first touch His feet when He returns. This is what the Lord gave me to share about sowing into the trip last year. You can also see the entire post on my blog at http://samuelramosiii.blogspot.com/2013/09/i-leave-for-israel-one-week-from-today.html

Prayers and Giving – A Memorial before God

Acts 10:3-4 - About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!” And when he observed him, he was afraid, and he said, “What is it, lord?” So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.”

Your giving is a memorial before God. Pastor Tony says, The seed you sow is received in heaven and becomes a memorial before God. Your dollars become “Little Preachers” preaching about your generosity before God continually.

I was reminded about a dream I had months ago that I did not understand. I found myself standing in a cloud of God’s presence. Then, as it cleared slightly, I saw what looked like pillar in front of me with writing or etching resembling hieroglyphics. It was so very beautiful that it captivated me. I was in such awe as I drew close and then I noticed a beautiful aroma being release by it. End of dream

The interpretation of the dream is very simple. The pillar represented the prayers and giving of His people, to Him, a beautiful sight to behold and wonderful aroma to be overcome with.

Please prayerfully seek the Lord and ask if He would have you give and how much. Let me be clear, I am not in any way trying to collect a fee for placing your name in the wall in Jerusalem. There is no power in that anyway. It is symbolic and my way to honor you before God while at standing on His holy ground and under probably one of the greatest portals to heaven known to man. The power lies in your obedience to God, should He instruct you to pray and/or give that will be the key to release His blessing. And because you do this, I know that my God shall supply all your need through His riches and glory in Christ Jesus. Amen. Samuel Ramos 09-02-13
 

At the Wall the Lord says, You will be coming back next year…

Western Wall in Old City of Jerusalem

While at the Western Wall the Lord said I would be going back next year for Sukkot 2014. Two weeks after I returned to Houston I was approached by someone who heard about my trip and wanted to meet me. At the end of our meeting, I was informed that my trip back to Israel was paid in full for Sukkot 2014! Wow! It was only two weeks since the Lord told me I would be going back and He already made it clear that it had nothing to do with me and everything to do with Him! 

       I leave in 8 weeks on October 4th for two weeks!

What? Go to Israel now? Why? Isn't it dangerous?

Yes, I know it seems like now may not be a good time to go, but it is actually the best time for me to go because the Lord said He would take me back this year. Then He paid for the trip weeks after I returned to Houston…that last year! I know I am supposed to be there. He said this year would be different because I would do a lot of ministering while there because the people would need much encouragement. Little did I know that I would be returning to Israel in a time of war? Only God could orchestrate something like this…I’m still in awe of all the things that had to happen for me to even be here typing this letter today.
                          
                              

Imagine you were an IDF soldier, most of them teens and young adults, and on a daily basis you see and hear from all the surrounding nations that you have no right to exist and should be exterminated. Imagine you were an Israeli citizen living in constant fear of rocket attack or from attacks that come through terror tunnels knowing that the only goal of the terrorist is to massacre you and your family. This a powerful and damaging philological effect on the people. That is why the Lord is sending me and many others to go physically show support and to minister to them.  

You can play a big part in this year’s mission trip to Israel… to help bring healing from trauma and loss 
                             
    Israeli taking shelter from incoming missiles and a Jewish home damaged by Hamas missile

The Lord has instructed me to provide opportunity, again, to everyone that would like to help financially. As I mentioned, the cost of the trip has already been paid for, so your finances will not go towards the trip itself. The Lord has instructed me to take 1000 silicone bracelets, 1000 camo bandanas and t-shirts with the same scripture He gave me last year. Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper! I had no idea how prophetic it was at the time, but now it is clear the Lord was having me declare a year in advance His word over Israel. Little did I know at that time last year that I would be returning to an Israel engaged in war with Hamas, who is currently firing hundreds of missiles into Israel causing many adults and children severe shock and fear.

Financially and prayerfully support this assignment for Israel 2014…

I am personally encouraging you to seek the Lord about supporting this cause and to give your best seed. Some of you may not have to pray because you have the means to sow and are willing. No amount of money is too small and no amount of money is too great. It will all be put to good use. I personally am good ground to sow into, but how much more Israel?

Genesis 12:2-3 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

The goal is to take 1,000 bracelets, 1,000 bandanas and 1,000 t-shirts to give away throughout Israel. The cost of the material alone will be about $5,500.00, not including the screen printing for the bandanas, t-shirts and shipping to Israel, which I am estimating to be another $1,000.00 to $2,000.00. Any overflow of money sowed will be sown to ministries and people in Israel as the Lord leads. You will also receive a report to know what the Lord does in Israel and how you played a part in it. Please include with your seed a list of your family member’s names. The Lord has instructed me to spend time in prayer at the Western Wall again this year. I am to mention you and those on your list before Him in prayer and to leave your list there in the Wall. Your giving and prayers will go before Him as a memorial for sowing into His people. If you never get to personally go to Israel, you can know this, your name and those on the list you provide, will be in the Western Wall as a memorial to God that you were in agreement with Him and His assignment. Please pray this newsletter will make into the right hands and groups of people. Also begin to pray for the trip protection, wisdom and favor for the group I am going with and that we make the most of every opportunity and complete every assignment the Lord has given us.

Please help me get the word out. Forward this newsletter to everyone in your contact list or to those you feel need to be a part of this. You have my permission to make copies to give away. I am also available to share this story in person, one on one, in meetings, homes meetings or bible studies. You name it, and I will be there!

Dream - Two nuclear bombs, one explodes outside my front door

I had this dream July 24, 2012, but the Lord didn't give me anything on it until September 19, 2012. I released it then, but the Lord has instructed me to release it again. Don't brush it off as just another word. Please heed the word of the Lord and do whatever He has been telling you to do. It is imperative that we stay close to Him now more than ever. I am not trying to put fear in anyone because that is not my nature. I just know that He is speaking very seriously about things to come, but for the most part, the general population of the body of Christ is not getting it. We must pray for blind eyes to be opened and deaf ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church today and to act accordingly. Amen. 

Two nuclear bombs, one explodes outside my front door

I was in my home bracing for some coming event. It seemed that all the doors and windows in the house had been secured. I was now standing in the living room by a love seat and facing the front door. The Lord was standing just behind me to my left and said, there is a nuclear bomb coming and its going to explode, but do not be afraid, nothing is going to happen to you. Just then, I heard the sound of the missile flying across the sky and over my home. It was the most frightening sound I ever heard even as it was flying into the distance. Then I heard the explosion. Somehow, I knew that the explosion took place somewhere on the other side of the world. I felt it was somewhere in the Middle East, possibly even Israel. Immediately after the explosion there was the sound of a freight train coming in the distance from the location of explosion. It was the shock wave from the explosion that was coming in our direction. It too made a very frightening sound as it drew closer. The ground began to shake and everything in the house, including me, began to vibrate. When it reached us I braced for the impact, but nothing happened. It was like a soft breeze blew past us. As I let out a sigh of relief, the Lord said, there is a second nuclear bomb coming. This one is going to land just outside your front door, but do not be afraid, nothing with happen to you. This time he said it very seriously and it caused me to fear. He said it again; do not be afraid, I am right here, nothing is going to happen to you; you must not be afraid. Then I braced myself behind the love seat on my hands and knees, but kept my eyes glued on the front door. Then I heard the missile coming and it sounded worse than the first one. I never heard something so frightening that it shook me to the very core. Everything was vibrating just from the roar of it coming. The Lord had to remind me again not to be afraid. Then it landed just outside my front door and exploded. 

The whole house and everything in it shook violently. Things began to fall off the walls and shelves; furniture shook and vibrated all over the place, but something amazing happened. While everything shook and vibrated, I was completely unaffected. I didn’t shake or vibrate. I couldn’t feel anything that I was witnessing with my eyes. I should have been knocked to the ground, blown to pieces along with the house, but it was as if I was suspended in motion or another realm while the bomb exploded outside. When it was over, the house was still standing, not even one window was broken out. There was dust in the air that was just beginning to settle, but I woke from the dream before I could get a good look at the place to see if there was any damage. End of dream

I have been seeking the Lord about this dream since I had it two months ago. He spoke to me yesterday, September 19, and gave me understanding. Here is what he said:

The first bomb that exploded represents the Muslim uprising in the Middle East and the following shockwave is the news of it coming to America. But just as the shockwave in the dream was like a soft breeze passing by, so has been the news of the uprising to America and My people. It has come to pass over like a soft breeze. At the first report of the uprising, My people stood still and paid attention, but only for a moment. But once it was clear that nothing was affected here at home life continues on like nothing. Even though many are being murdered and extremely violent anti-American demonstrations are taking in the Middle East, America and My people are not taking the current events seriously because America is in a state of deep sleep and slumber. From the White House to the pulpit, America and My people are in a state of false security and vulnerability because of sin and iniquity. Do not be deceived by those who say, Peace! Peace! My leaders are not warning the people, but are catering to them instead. Being careful to serve them a word that will tingle here and tingle there, but it is not I doing the tingling. I am revealing My secrets to them, but they are not revealing them to the people. Now, more than ever before is the time to be spiritually sober and vigilant. The adversary is on the move and those who are asleep, and those who slumber, will be devoured. It has been 11 years since 9/11 and America has grown darker and further from Me than ever before. The time since 9/11 has been weighed in the balance and America has been found lacking. Life as you now know it is about to change just as it changed after 9/11. All that can be shaken will be shaken and all will be affected, but those who put their trust in Me will not be moved. Declare to the people - look among the nations, watch and pray! – Be utterly astounded! For the Lord will work a work in your days which you would not believe if it were told to you! But they will not listen to you; they will say among themselves, whom does he serve? Who is his covering? Declare to the people – lay aside your plans and purposes to pray and fast instead; co-labor with the Christ, but they will put it off for another day even as they declare themselves - this word he speaks is of the Lord! But they will only hear the word and not do it; even though much love is preached, the heart only seeks to gain and not give. In the dream the second bomb lands outside the front door of your house and it represents the uprising that has not taken place yet, but it is at your front door, says the Lord. Do not fear but only believe and trust in Me. Reach out to your loved ones and those close to you. Compel them to draw close to Me. Tell your friends and neighbors the Lord has need of them. Even though the day seems very dark, there is an outpouring and an awakening that is coming to America and there will not be room enough to hold the harvest. Every church, hotel and home will be filled with the glory of the Lord. Stadiums, churches and homes will be overflowing at the sound of the angels singing and declaring the mercies and blessings of God over the people. I will move and no man or ministry will claim fame to My works. No man or ministry will profit from it. I will cause to rise up many whose hearts are filled with the thoughts and intentions of the Father. They will seek the things of God concerning the people and the My Kingdom. They will be leaders and not masters, shepherds and not hirelings, and all who seek to thwart and discredit them will be humbled. I will bring down every person and ministry that has been made to stand on high places to be made fat with the finances of My people, deceiving them and being deceived themselves. I will cause favor and increase to be released into every home and family and it will be called the Blessing of My People. I will do this thing and I will not postpone these words any longer. I will perform My words, which I am speaking. Now, as in the dream, the second bomb is outside the front door, time to wake up America the great sleeper! Time to stand in the glory of the Lord as you once stood before, to be a light and symbol of freedom and to declare once again that you are “One Nation, under God, Indivisible, with Liberty, and Justice for All”. Blood, sweat and tears will be the vehicle through which revival comes to America. To humble one’s self or to be humbled is the choice to be made today, and I will shake, shake and shake America once again, until the choice has been made. Bread shall be eaten with anxiety, and water shall be consumed with dread, because of the violence of all who dwell in the land, but in the midst of the shaking I will cause to come forth, and to be set firm, a place for My faithful ones. I will do for them what I did for Joseph’s brothers when Pharaoh sent them to live the land of Goshen during the great famine. I will cause My faithful ones to be as the land of Goshen during a time of great spiritual famine which is coming upon the earth. Darkness and deep darkness such as never been before will be soon and My people will be lifted up, and My glory will be seen upon them, and I will do for them as I have promised. I will be to them a strong tower and fortified fortress in the day of trouble, a kingdom that will have no end. Says the Lord.  

Dream – My dog runs out back door and I get locked out

12:28am

I was in my home that I currently live in. I was in the kitchen doing something, might have been cooking. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw what I thought was my dog, Enoch, dash by me and out the back door. I didn’t realize it was even open. It happened so fast that I didn’t have time to get a good look to see what passed by me. I ran as fast as I could out the back door after him. I didn’t know if the gate was open and I wanted to catch him before he got out because once he’s out it’s hard to get him back in since he weighs over a hundred and ten pounds. As I ran out the house, I noticed he was sitting at the far side of yard looking at me and there was a black cat sitting next to him, which I thought was strange. As I approached him I noticed it was very dark outside like it was night, only there was something not right about the sky. When I got where Enoch was sitting, I was shocked to see it was only a grey statue of him and a black statue of a cat. I suddenly realized I had been deceived to be lured out of my house. I turned to look back at it just as the back door was being shut and locked. I was overtaken by fear of what was outside with me. End of dream  

 Please read this very carefully and prayerfully. I woke up at 12:28 am and I knew the time meant something because I normally do not pay attention to the time when I wake up in the middle of the night. The Lord instructed me to look up the scriptures on a Chapter & Verse Dream Card I got from Breath of the Spirit Ministry. There were only two with 12:28. I will list them at the end of the prophetic word the Lord gave me to release. They seem to support the word. The Lord did not make me seek Him for understanding about this dream. He is simply saying we must all begin to tell those around us to turn from the world and to the Lord before it’s too late. There is not much time for many of them to turn to Him. I believe something is going to happen which will end many lives and we must be prepared to deal with the fact that we may personally know some of them. He clearly said,

Tell the people now is not the time to backslide or compromise. Make a conscious decision today and choose whom you will serve. Do not take for granted My grace or mercy. Be done with your pet sins and go after them no longer as a dog returns to his vomit. It is only idolatry and rebellion to continue trampling underfoot the blood of My dear and precious Son. He paid a price you could have never paid and it was enough.

 

 

My grace is sufficient for you to not backslide and compromise. Grieve no longer My Spirit to the point of death. Isn’t it enough that I died for you and have given you the kingdom? The enemy has deceived many into lusting after the things of this world, but they only lead to darkness as the five foolish virgins discovered for themselves. Do not be foolish as they were foolish. Do not continue to come into My presence, in My house, only to take it with you and squander by way of perversion. You deceive yourselves into thinking that I will forgive and forgive again. Once the door is shut it will remain shut and no man can open. So heed the voice of My Word and humble yourselves unto the Almighty, for even now a seal has been broken and a vial is poured out. Glory to the Lamb is the song being sung in heaven now! So make haste, and waste not the time, but you must reach out and find all who have strayed and all who have fallen away. Compel and compel again, say to them, the time is at hand for the great and terrible day of the Lord, and it comes quickly like a thief in the night. You! Believer! You must now be a doer of the Word, believing and doing My Words. I will tell you what that man will look like in the days of great shaking, which are just ahead. He is like a man who built his house on the rock and when all that could be shaken was shaken, his house stood and was not moved. Assuredly I tell you the truth, many in the days ahead will be shaken, and shaken again, but they will not stand because they have built their lives on the lies of this world’s system and I liken them to the man who built his house on sand and great will be the destruction of that man. I desire that not one soul should parish, so run with fire and minister to the lost. Be reconciled to all. Do not hold anything against another and save your own soul. Love covers a multitude of sin. Cry out! Come all who are thirsty and drink! Find rest for your souls! But to My children I say do not fear, for I have called you for such a time as this. I say again, for to this day you were born. Trust in Me with all your heart and I will direct your paths. Do not deviate to the left or to the right, but only obey My commands in these days and you will know Me as I AM in these days, and the people who know I AM will be strong and carry out great and mighty exploits. Let not your hearts be troubled, but be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Watch and pray, says the Lord.

Proverbs 12:28 In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.

Ezekiel 12:28 “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.’ ”

Stay focused and believe the Word of the Lord

1 Thessalonians 4

New Living Translation (NLT)

Live to Please God

4 Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You live this way already, and we encourage you to do so even more. ² For you remember what we taught you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

³ God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. ⁴ Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor— ⁵ not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways. ⁶ Never harm or cheat a Christian brother in this matter by violating his wife, for the Lord avenges all such sins, as we have solemnly warned you before. ⁷ God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives. ⁸ Therefore, anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human teaching but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
⁹ But we don’t need to write to you about the importance of loving each other, for God himself has taught you to love one another. ¹⁰ Indeed, you already show your love for all the believers throughout Macedonia. Even so, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you to love them even more.
¹¹ Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. ¹² Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.

The Hope of the Resurrection

¹³ And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. ¹⁴ For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.

¹⁵ We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. ¹⁶ For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. ¹⁷ Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. ¹⁸ So encourage each other with these words.

You Shall Not Lack Any Good Thing

Psalm 34:10

The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

How many would agree that to take on a young lion would be a deadly mistake…unless you were David of the OT. But to take on a lacking and hungry young lion would mean certain death unless the Lord intervened. Here in this verse He is saying a young lion as powerful as it can be will suffer lack and hunger. But those who seek Me will not suffer any good thing.

I wanted to tell you this morning it doesn’t matter what you are up against. It may seem like you are about to be devoured and you are helpless to defend yourself, but the Lord is saying this morning if you will seek Him you will not lack what you need to avoid being devoured by what may seem like a helpless situation.

How do you seek the Lord? Well the word seek here in this verse means several different things. Some of the meanings are:  

-to resort to, seek, seek with care, enquire, require

-to resort to, frequent (a place), (tread a place)

-to seek deity (God) in prayer and worship

-to investigate, enquire

-to practice, study, follow, seek with application

-to seek with care, care for

-to allow oneself to be enquired of, consulted (only of God)

-to be sought, be sought out

Basically, to seek in this verse means this, “To rub, to beat, to tread, to trample with feet; to tread or to beat a path” Wow. So we are to seek the Lord to the degree that we wear a path to Him because we have gone to Him so frequently. Like when a path is worn in grass when you walk across it repeatedly. We should seek the Lord so much that a path can be seen to Him from us.

This is His promise to you if you will seek Him this way…You Shall Not Lack Any Good Thing.

 

The great thing is He already made a path for us to follow.

 

                                  

 

Hebrews 4:14-16

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

 

May the Lord keep you and bless you,

The Lord make His face to shine upon you,

And be gracious to you;

The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,

And give you peace. Amen

Call to Intercession: Dreamed War from Hevron to Jerusalem

04-16-14 Dream – War in Hevron 

I had this dream just before I woke up Wednesday morning about 4:30 am.

A war was taking place over the land about who the rightful owners were. There was a
home I entered into and I began to walk through a walk way in the home. It was paved
with cobblestone. It looked much like the stone the streets and walkways in the Old City
of Jerusalem are made of. There was a little boy in this house painting on a canvass with
oil paint; he was dripping blood red paint on the cobblestone walkway as he painted.

The war which was outside the house had somehow now moved inside the house. The
people were pointing at the blood red paint on the cobblestone walkway saying, “See,
here is the proof the land is ours because it is covered in, and paid for, with our very own
blood!” Then I heard all the people agree with this declaration and a great celebration
began.

Then I saw coins minted by the state to commemorate this day. There were coins made of
silver and of gold. They had written on the backside of the coin, “This Is Our Land!”
Every coin made was placed in a frame to hang on a wall. Not one of the coins front side
could be seen. End of dream.

I believe the Lord is calling intercessors to be attentive to the current events in Hevron
with regard to the Jewish family that was attacked a few days ago. It will turn out to be
that a fuse has been lit. This event will turn out to be a tipping point for an ongoing
division from within the State of Israel causing the division be unified on how to deal
with the ongoing terrorist attacks in Hevron. This will cause there to be a consensus
among the majority which says, “This is our land and enough is enough!” Once these
words are put to action, there will be a shaking in the land that will begin in Hevron
leading up to, and into, the Old City, even to the very Temple Mount. The day will be
remembered as a picture is framed and hung on a wall and as a coin is minted to
commemorate a historical event.

• Pray for PM and advisers, military and the soldiers for strength and courage
• Pray for the families of those serving in the IDF
• Pray for a dismantling of military weapons and plans against Israel. No weapon formed against them shall prosper!
• Pray for all plans against Israel by nations that pretend to be for them to be exposed and undone.
• Pray without ceasing and as the Lord leads…
• Declare the land belongs to Israel! The land is the home of the Jews!

Isaiah 62:6-7
I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth

As intercessors, we must remember to pray and to yield to the Spirit of intercession. Push through the distractions and the mind games the enemy will try to hinder you with. Do whatever it takes to stay in that place because the nations are depending on the intercessors to decree, declare and establish what the Lord is doing this day and hour upon the earth.

Please feel free to share this with others as you are lead to and reach out to others and encourage them to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Teach them why they should. I believe the Lord will teach you what you ought to say and how to say it.

Blessings,

Samuel

You have been made “Set Established”

John 15:16 KJV

Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you.

I love this verse because what it is really saying is first, He chose us we did not choose Him. So that means He chose us with a purpose. Would you agree that anything He does He does it with a purpose? Of course the answer is yes. So then did He create you? The answer is yes. So then He created you with a purpose right? And that purpose is good, filled with prosperity, a future and hope. Second, is that we should bear fruit and that our fruit should remain. In other words, the good things He is doing in our lives, the deliverance, the healings, the ministry, the business and all the other good works the Lord is doing in us and through us are not meant to be temporary, but they are meant to be permanent.

I want to point out something Jesus says that is so powerful. Well, anything Jesus says is powerful, but you know what I mean. He says, but I have chosen you, and ordained you… Wow, first He chooses us and says to us He did this so we can go bear fruit that remains, good works that will glorify the Father (and His great love for us). But then He says that He ordained or appointed us to do these things.

It means –

-         to set, fix establish

-         to name to assign to a position, an office, or the like; designate

-         to determine by authority or agreement; fix; set

-         to designate (a person) to take the benefit designated by an estate created by a deed or will

-         to provide with what is necessary; equip; furnish

-         to order or establish by decree or command; ordain; constitute

Jesus is saying He has already fixed and established you to bear much fruit in your life that the devil can’t steal unless you allow him to. It is your birthright as a son or daughter of God to benefit from all the kingdom has to offer because you have been given the deed or will to the kingdom.

Jeremiah 1:5 WEB

Before I formed thee in embryo I knew thee; and before thou wast born I sanctified thee...

Again, the Lord is saying you had nothing to do with His choosing you. You did not even exist at the time He planned everything for you. You were not even an embryo at the time He chose you. But again, He says, He chose you and sanctified you at the same time. Don’t forget! He did this before you were formed in the womb; you had nothing to do with it. Sanctified means to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be holy, be sanctified and to be separate. This is what He did for you before you were an embryo.

                           

Ephesians 2:10 NKJV

For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before-hand that we should walk in them.

So this is an interesting verse. Apparently, we are God’s workmanship created for good works He created beforehand.  As in before we were formed in the womb? Hmm… I’m starting to see a pattern here. I am not being sarcastic by saying apparently, but I use the word because it means capable of being easily perceived or understood; plain and clear; obvious. Some synonyms are discernible, open, conspicuous, manifest, unmistakable, apparent, evident, obvious, patent and they all refer to something easily perceived. Wow! You are so set up for success! You are now able to easily perceive and understand that He chose you and you did not choose Him. He sanctified you and set you apart. He set you fixed and established. He provided you with what is necessary to overcome and be victorious. He equipped and furnished all you need. He consecrated you and made you holy unto Him. He called and equipped you before you were born. He created good works for you to walk in beforehand. And the most interesting part of this verse is you are God’s workmanship created in Christ. You have been created in Christ and in the power of His might, but this has been done so you can, in Christ and His power and might, walk in good works, which God prepared first then He formed you in the womb.

 Psalm 139:13-18 NKJV

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet, there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts towards me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with you.

What a mighty God we serve! He’s so good! In other words, this life God has planned for you is so other worldly rich in blessing that is must be a dream. It has to be a dream because there is no way life can be this good even if it were planned before you were ever born, but then the writer wakes from his assumed dream only to find God is still there with him and the dream is true. The dream was true for him and the dream is true for you and all you have to do is believe God.

Genesis 15:1, 6 NKJV

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” …And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.

All you have to do is believe that God is going to do what He says. Believe it in your heart and confess it with your mouth and keep taking steps forward. No matter how many times you fall or fail, get up and keep walking forward. The Lord Himself says a good man will fall, but the Lord upholds him by His hand. Even this the Lord does by His hand.

This part might ruff some feathers. The Lord Jesus Himself, while carrying His cross on His way to the place of the skull, fell several times under the weight of the cross. His goal was to get to Golgotha where He was to be crucified, but He couldn't make it all the way on His own. The weight of the cross was too heavy so someone had to help our Lord and Savior carry His cross the rest of the way. Can you image if the first time He fell with the cross He thought to Himself, "I've failed, I can't make it the rest of the way?" No, He didn't do that. He kept His eyes on the prize, kept getting back up and trying again. He took another step closer. God even had to send someone to help Jesus carry the cross the rest of the way to the place where He would be crucified, but He did it! Hallelujah!

Let me also be clear about one thing. The prize Jesus kept His eyes on was not making it the place where He was too be crucified, but the prize He kept His eyes on that gave Him the will to finish His race was YOU. In the Bible you are described as "the Joy that was set before Him"  

I want to encourage you today to remember how you began your walk with the Lord. Simply put, we humbled ourselves before the Lord and acknowledged we were sinners in bondage and unable to save ourselves. He then forgives us and gives us His righteousness, which is of God Himself. He filled us with His Spirit and begins a good work in us. Scripture says we should be confident (it should be apparent to us) of this very thing, that He who has begun this good work in us will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ…Philippians 1:6 NKJV Meditate on these things and let them establish you in mind and spirit, causing you to be rooted and grounded.

No matter what comes against you in the natural or in the spirit, you have already been prepared to do good works in the situation. You have been appointed by God to bring Him glory. He’s given it to you…the keys to the kingdom. You have a place at the Father’s table and no one can take that from you. Believe these things and practice them. Never stop believing. Never stop trying. The Lord will meet you where the rubber meets the road. It’s a fixed fight. You win.

I want to leave you with the following scriptures. Keep them in your heart and ponder them all the days of your life.

Proverbs 4:10-13

Hear, My son, and receive My sayings, and the years of your life will be many. I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. When you walk you steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble. Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; keep her, for she is your life.

Psalm 119:165

Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. 

My prayer for you today is the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. 

Samuel...smashing pillars, raising sons. 

Shalom!

 

Romans 8:37-39
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord...not even when life gives you a flat tire because God will always give you a donut to get you back on the road to destiny.

Shalom! God breaks the yoke that binds you to chaos!

 

Father, release a fresh anointing to the reader of this post today and break the yoke that binds them to chaos. Let your shalom fill them and every situation concerning them now. I thank you for doing it because I know you hear my voice Abba and it is your good pleasure to do it. You're awesome :)

 

02-07-14 Prophetic Word - Let NO-thing hold you back!

Don't let anything hold you back. Go for it. Those around you will either support you or criticize you. Let both motivate you to give it your all. Keep your eyes on the prize, Jesus the Christ, and you will succeed. Might as well get used to it, not all people are for you, not all people want to see you succeed. They will be quick to tell you what God is telling them to tell you to do, but hardly ever do anything themselves. Rise up above the approvals of men for motivation to act. You are already approved. You are already equipped. Be very careful of those who are always lifting you up saying how awesome you are and how powerful you are because they will also be the first pull you down and trash you. Walk in love, godly love and not sensual love. Believe the best, but most of all, believe God and His Word. Give Him the glory always and He will direct your steps. Boast about Christ and Him crucified. Preach His gospel and not some gospel contrary to the gospel of His kingdom and you will see the salvation of the Lord move for those who believe.... if you believe.

Prosperity - God knit something in me that needs to be uncovered and blossom.

Hebraic prospective on prosperity - God knit something in me that needs to be uncovered and blossom.

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers. 

Prosperity is not praying and laying your hands on a new house or car and then getting it. Prosperity is much more than that, but you have to look at it from the Hebraic perspective noted above.

Psalm 139:13 
For You formed my inmost being, You knit me together in my mother's womb. 

God knit prosperity in your very being, it is hidden in the marrow in your bones. (Chuck Pierce's words) It is literally in your blood. Prosperity runs through your veins. It is laying somewhere in the marrow waiting for God to uncover it by His prophetic word over you. That prophetic word is the key to unlocking, or uncovering, the prosperity God has knit into you which will cause it to come forth and blossom. Here's the proof - Hebrews 4:12 
For the Word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between the soul and the spirit, between the joint and the marrow. It exposes (uncovers) our inner most thoughts and desires. 

Think about this - Jesus said, out of your belly (inner most being) will flow rivers of living waters. He was speaking about the spirit man and not the soul. So if the Word of God divides the soul and the spirit, exposing the inner most thoughts and desires of a person, then the key to getting the desires of our hearts uncovered and revealed is the Word because only the Word can uncover, bring forth and then blossom what He has placed the marrow of each and every believer.

When He releases His prophetic word over you, it uncovers that which has been knit into your inner most being, when He knit you together in your mother's womb. Then what God has knit in you comes forth and begins to blossom. You begin to walk in prosperity or in others words, you begin to manifest the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. 

Luke 17:20-12 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor with they say, see here or see there! For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you...Prosperity! 

God has always wanted us to have a harvest mentality so He built His covenants around harvest, increase in other words. God has more covenants than just the Old and New Covenants. The only way to truly prosper, to gain harvest and increase with God, is through covenant with God. Study it for yourself. 

So when the word is spoken over you that reveals the desires God has placed in your inner most being, the key to unlocking it, is doing that word. It is allowing Him to take you through the process required to unlock the prosperity God has for you, which will lie dormant until He uncovers it. We are all called to prosper as sons of God, but many never enter into prosperity because not many are willing to go through the process required so that it may come forth and begin to blossom.

In others words, many never ever realize the potential for prosperity that God has placed in them because many are not willing to walk in covenant with Him. 

New Territory ...to us a great door has been opened
