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.

Uncommon Seed - Uncommon Blessing

The end of 2012 brought to completion a word my pastor released to the church out of Isaiah 37:30-32 that would span over three years.

This shall be a sign to you: You shall eat this year such as grows of itself, and the second year what springs from the same; Also in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

I personally can say this word has come to pass in my life and the lives of many others that I know personally. I believe it has been a church wide happening, the body of Christ.

Enter 2013…

I’m at home first Saturday of the New Year and decide it’s time to go outside and rake more acorns. Yes, acorns. I have three oak trees on my property. I bought the home three years ago, but this was the first time the trees put out acorns that seemed to be endless. I’m not talking about a few acorns here and there. I’m talking about acorns falling all day and all night for months! I could hear them falling in the middle of the night on the roof of the house, bouncing off the vehicles in the driveway and raining down on the concrete. It became a very common thing to get hit in the head with acorns if you dared to go outside…but the sky was not falling. Ha ha.

The acorns were so abundant that it was killing the grass in the back yard and the driveway was just blanketed with a sea of acorns. Our vehicles left a trail of cracked acorn shells out of the driveway and down the road…no joke. So I started raking them up and sweeping the driveway and patio, but as soon as I gathered them up, the ground was covered with them again, and again, and again… I put out so many bags of acorns over several months for trash pick up that I stopped counting at 80 bags.

So now I am going outside again to gather them up…again, but this time as I am walking down the driveway to work my way from the front of the property to the back, I see the sea of acorns and in my heart I feel a rumble to grumble rising up. I am about to start complaining about how I hate acorns, but what came out of my mouth was, “No, this is the blessing of the Lord!” The Lord immediately responded and said, “Yes it is My blessing and it represents the completion of the three-year prophecy out of Isaiah:

…also in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them… and the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward…

I grabbed a few acorns off the ground to put them on the desk in my prayer room to be a reminder to me. As I was looking at them, he spoke these words:

Many are experiencing abundance in many ways, but some are not able to overcome their complaining to see the blessing I have released and rained down on them. Complaining about the work required to gather the blessings has blinded some and caused them to become envious of the blessings others are walking in. They see the blessing in the lives of some around them, but are blind to the blessing in their own lives. Regardless, many are taking root down deep and bearing up much fruit. The acorns you hold in your hand now and have been raking for weeks represent the abundance of seed to sow, which I have prepared for my people in this New Year. I have already provided it and I have already blessed it…it will come to pass. It is very important this year not to confuse your seed for bread. Your seed is to sow and your bread is to eat. Practice asking me about your finances and resources, how much is seed and how much is bread. If you eat your seed you will eat your blessing, but if you sow your seed you will become a great blessing to many. The seed I give this year is an uncommon and powerful seed. When you ask and pray to me for something always ask – Now Father, what’s the seed and where should I sow it? Then trust and obey.

So I am looking at the acorns in my hands wondering if these represent abundance and 2013’s seed is uncommon and powerful, what does that seed look like? I purposed in my heart to sow more and in many ways. The very next day my mother said she wanted show me something my sister from Dallas sent. She opened a bag and pulled out a couple of acorns, but these were not normal acorns. It was obvious they were very abnormal or uncommon acorns. I began to laugh so hard and the Lord said, “This is what 2013’s seed looks like Samuel so don’t confuse your seed for bread.”

He gave me these verses to confirm his word.

Haggai 2:19 NLT
I am giving you a promise now while the seed is still in the barn. 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 NIV
The seed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will produce its crops, and the heavens will drop their dew. I will give all these things as an inheritance to the remnant of this people. 

Sow uncommon seed and be an uncommon blessing!

My pastor is Pastor Tony Krishack at Victory Christian Center on Cutten Rd in Houston, Texas.

Dream: Dutch Sheets taking photo with ministers

04-01-13 Dreamed - Dutch Sheets taking photo with ministers...a call to intercession

I dreamed was with Dutch at a gathering of ministers from all denominations. Every denomination was represented and I seemed to be an assistant to Dutch. The ministers were brought together for a group photo to be displayed for all to see. The photographer was positioning the ministers on a stand much like you see a choir stand on. He started by positioning ministers on the last row, which was also the highest, and he worked his way down until the entire rack was full including the floor level in the very front was full of ministers standing shoulder to shoulder. The photographer looked over at Dutch who was standing alone, the last one waiting to be positioned for the photograph, but there was no room so he told Dutch to sit on the floor in the front. Dutch sat down on the floor, but then the photographer told him he was still too high up. He told Dutch to lean to the right a little. Then he told him to lean more and more until Dutch was almost laying flat on his side. The photographer said that looks about right and told them all to get ready to take the picture. At that very moment all the minister countenances changed and what they truly believed and were teaching manifested on their faces and their positions on the stand changed and took on the form of the Hindu goddess Durga, which has eight arms. The minister standing the tallest and at the very top manifested homosexuality and then there were two ministers on his left and right and they manifested faces that represented various sins and iniquities. Dutch immediately shouted, “Wait, we cannot take this picture!” but no one paid attention to him. Then he said, “Don’t you care everyone is going to see this picture?” but no one paid attention to him. He said, “We have to be careful!” but still no one said anything except motioning to him to get down as low as he possibly could get to the floor for the picture. Obviously, they were bothered by him and did not want him to be in the picture. Dutch began to weep uncontrollably for the condition of the ministers with a deep sorrow and could not be consoled. I placed my hand on his shoulder from behind and attempted to comfort him, but he would not be comforted. The grief woke me from the dream. It was 3:33 am this morning.

End

Here is what the Lord said to me about the dream. The picture represents the spiritual condition of our country and the forces behind it that we must stand against and defeat through fasting and intercession. There is much ungodliness being preached through various forms of media and even from some pulpits in America today. At the top, the head, if you will, is homosexuality, an unclean and perverse spirit. The spirits that followed after were positioned in a way to give the appearance of the arms of the Hindu goddess Durga, which has eight arms. Her name means, a fort or a place that is protected and thus difficult to reach. These spiritual forces seemed to have an unbreakable hold on the country today, but God is about to do something about it. Ephesians 6:12

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

He said, Dutch Sheets represented the true intercessors of God who are placed in strategic places. God trusts His prophets and intercessors with His secrets and reveals them before He does them. Amos 3:7

Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

Amos 7:1-6

Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, He formed locust swarms at the beginning of the late crop; indeed [it was] the late crop after the king's mowings. And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said: "O Lord GOD, forgive, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, For he [is] small!" [So] the LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," said the LORD. Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, the Lord GOD called for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the territory. Then I said: "O Lord GOD, cease, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, For he [is] small!" [So] the LORD relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.

He said just as the revealing of coming judgment produced godly sorrow in Amos, so will the revealing of God’s judgment coming upon sinners today produce godly sorrow through the intercession of the prophets and intercessors today. God revealed coming judgment to Amos because He knew Amos would cry out to God with godly sorrow and plead for mercy on behalf of the people. 2 Corinthians 7:10

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. 

James 2:13

For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. 

Let’s us not forget that we were once sinners and lost without hope and God showed us mercy instead of judgment because of the prayers of loved ones on our behalf and because of His intercessors that sacrificed themselves to the Spirit of intercession for our salvation. God is saying to us today, it’s our turn; we are up to bat and the bases are loaded with souls. Today, now at this present time, we must not procrastinate and put off intercession with “fasting” when the Spirit calls. The grace for that is gone, but the grace for intercession with fasting is being poured out without measure to all that will yield and answer the call. God is ready to bring in the greatest harvest of souls and you and I are required to labor with Jesus.

The hand of the Lord is about to come down heavy on His prophets and intercessors with a burden for the lost and backslidden like never before, which will bring forth Godly sorrow and repentance in order to stay the hand of the Lord and his judgment. God desires mercy over judgment and it is His desire that not one soul should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

As for the time when I woke up from the dream this morning…3:33 am…

Ezekiel 33:3 - 9

when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, 'then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his [own] head. 'He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. 'But if the watchman (intercessor) sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes [any] person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.' "So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked [man], you shall surely die!' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. "Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

   

Father, grant us grace to yield to Your call to intercession with godly sorrow, which leads to true repentance. We ask for our inheritance, the heathen. We call Your quiver full!

In Jesus name
