“ Attracting The Eye of God ” - Part 2

Click the green arrow on the podcast bar above to listen to the message as a FREE podcast.

By Mary Lindow

The journey of Deborah is a declaration of the power of just ONE life, fully set apart for God.

Deborah stood as a prophetic representation; a suggestion that as a woman who may have been weaker in her physical attributes, she had the word of God! She had a history of going in and lighting the lamps. She had a history of hearing the voice of God in the secret place. So swiftly, when the hour came for her tangibly to go into war, she was ready. She was in the place to say yes because she knew the voice of her God.

Let’s continue to look at part 2 of the reason why
God was attracted to the life of Deborah.

Prophetess
Deborah functioned in the divine dimension of a spirit of wisdom and revelation. It was almost as if God had supernaturally, placed a divine compass in her, always guiding her to Him. The judging that Deborah did so well might have been because of her gift as a prophetess. She would have been able to make wise decisions if she saw well in the Spirit. She was humble, willing and wise.

In Matthew Henry's Commentary, he writes:
She was a woman of illuminations, or of splendors, one extraordinarily known and wise, and so came to be eminent and illustrious. She was intimately acquainted with God, she was a prophetess, and one that instructed others in divine knowledge by the inspiration of the Spirit of God, and had gifts of wisdom, to which she attained not in an ordinary way; she heard words of God, and she probably saw visions of the Almighty. She was totally devoted to Israel. After Jehovah, Israel was her first love.

Deborah was one who received fresh instructions from heaven, and though she knew how evil the oppression of King Jabin was, she also knew that with God anything is possible! Something in Deborah knew how to pull on the sources of heaven, standing in the guidance of the Lord (Jer. 23) and open her mouth and let Him fill it (Psa. 81:10).

Mother of Israel
What made this woman a mother of Israel?
Deborah loved well. Imagine facing the unending line of people all needing a touch of heaven. Imagine her tired eyes looking out on the faces of His design as she felt the ache in their hearts for God. They had come so far, how could they leave empty handed? The eleven other scattered tribes of Israel walked for miles and risked their lives on the dangerous highways as they struggled through to hear from God, through Deborah's voice.

The highways were deserted, and the travelers walked along the byways. Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, Arose a mother in Israel. They chose new gods; Then there was war in the gates. (Judges 5:6-8).

I believe that Deborah could hear the groans of the Israelites who were oppressed for 20 years and feel the throbbing pain in God's heart over His people's sin and oppression. I believe that it was her ability to hear His heartbeat that allowed her to save a nation in a day. Deborah ruled with the sword of a prophet but the staff of a shepherd -- she truly loved God's people. She always led well. She led by loving.

Military Policymaker
Deborah was more than a judge; she was used to deliver Israel from the second longest captivity. As a prophetess and military strategist, she called the nation to war. She not only brandished the hand of God but also operated with the heart of God. You see, Deborah was a deliverer! She loved the people and they loved her. She delivered them from a great enemy.

The Lord literally issued a clear prophetic word to summon Barak, the Israeli commander, to rally the troops for battle against impossible odds. The Hebrews had no weapons -- none. They had all been taken away by the Canaanites.

God showed her disclosures of how to win the battle. She brought a holy “about-face” to the wicked plans of Israel. When the city gates were at war, Deborah, a mother of Israel who was willing to lay down her life for her God and county, arose.

WHY WE NEED DEBORAH TO ARISE TODAY
There is a cry going out from the hearts of God’s people about the oppression the church is under from the enemy. Heaven is aware of the issues affecting the people of God. But, until a cry goes out from the people of God, the hands of Heaven are tied. Without a cry, we show we are satisfied or comfortable with the way things are. The harassment had been going on for well over 20 years. How long do we put up with things before we cry out for change?

GOD HAS BEEN WATCHING AND STIRRING UP DEBORAH’S FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW
And the timing is right. When we get to the place to where the reviving itself isn’t enough, but we must see change take place, we know we are on the verge of something great.

We have got to get to the place that we don’t just want change, but we are willing to rise up and put our hands to the plow to see change occur. Actions truly do speak louder than words.

Deborah represents the steadiness and dependability necessary to both win and preserve victory. Barak means “lightning flash”. That is temporary. We don’t need a temporary fix or a temporary anointing. If a temporary, quick fix was enough, we would be in a great position by now. We didn’t get to where we are at quickly, and the victory must be won with reliability and dedication.

WHEN DEBORAH AROSE, THE WARRIORS RETURNED.
There is a group of God’s warriors who are waiting for someone to rise up and lead them back to the place and position for which they have been created. God bestowed peace and victory for 40 years. The time of victory was twice as long as the time of oppression. The sad part is that after the 40 years, the Israelites went back to their wicked ways and found themselves in a place of oppression again.

Let us be men and woman who will stand in the breach and go before God and cry out in intercession.
“Lord, we need restoration! Lord,
we need the Kingdom of God to break in with the resurrection power of life!”

This is a call to combat!
This is a call for you to say that you want to hear the voice of God.
… From the secret place.

Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?”

Declares the LORD.

“Do not I fill heaven and earth?”

Declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 23:24

"Attracting the Eye Of God" – Part 1

By Mary Lindow

Podcast Powered By Podbean

God's eyes are searching to and fro over the earth looking for a heart that is fully His (2 Chronicles 16:9). What caught His eye when He came to Deborah? Was it the uncompromising fire of holiness, an unwavering faith or an unrelenting love that set her apart? Was it something about the integrity of her character, the depth and integrity of her wisdom and the richness of her kindness which produced confidence in both men and women?

The Lord is so jealous for each one of us to love Him and know Him. When we start to move away from Him, He allows evil kings to oppress us. The Word tells us that God is the one who appoints evil kings and magistrates, but He also raises up the godly judges and kings! Deborah was the fourth judge and for the first 20 years of her 40-year reign, the nation was oppressed by one of history's most powerful and cruel Canaanite Kings, Jabin, and his sneaky military commander, Sisera. (Judges 4:1-4)

DEBORAH CAPTURED THE HEART OF GOD

What is amazing is that the Lord raised up a woman to deliver a nation! What is especially surprising is that it happened in the Middle East thousands of years ago! Deborah was not only a wife, mother, intercessor and prophetess but also a judge and a national deliverer. That’s not a bad resume for a middle-aged woman living in that oppressive Middle Eastern culture.

Against great odds, God used her powerfully. Deborah broke outside of her culture but she wasn't in rebellion, she was in obedience -- to her God. She was used radically and set her people free, and the people loved her. It's a wonderful story of faith in God, and it champions men and women partnering together in a war to save their nation from great oppression.

When we read about this revolutionary prophetess and judge, it expands our religious studies of women being allowed to lead governmentally. But I really feel that God is raising up a troupe of end-time Deborah's. There is great global shaking that has only just begun, and the Lord is calling not only the men, but also the women of God! The Lord is saying,

“Wake up, Deborah, be a part of the army of the Lord.”

There are two root words for consecrate in Hebrew: naver (separating from) and kadesh (separating unto). Deborah, like the other defenders of the faith, was separated from the world and unto God. She did nothing on her own but spoke just what the Father taught her. This is where the true victory lies, in listening to Him.

DEBORAH'S WORK HISTORY

We tend to think of multi-tasking as a 21st century sensation, but Deborah was functioning in five major roles.

Intercessor

Many scholars believe that one of Deborah's roles before becoming judge was being a lamp lighter in the temple. In the Bible, oil is often a symbol for the Holy Spirit. Deborah was married to Lapidoth, whose name means, shine, lamp, flame, burning lamp, lightening, torch. Isn't it interesting? He, too, was a lamp that had oil!

Deborah was a keeper of the oil and light, carefully tending the lamps. This shows us that she was a woman who was passionately spending long hours dwelling in the temple. She was a woman of prayer and of worship. She lived between two villages, Ramah and Bethel, in Ephramin, which means the valley of fruitfulness. Biblical names often have profound prophetic meanings. The ancient village of Ramah was known to be the seat of high adultery. Bethel was known as the house of the Lord with open heavens, where Jacob had his ladder experience in Genesis 28. She stood in the gap interceding between the seat of high idolatry and pagan worship and the house of Bethel with its open heavens.

Now the picture becomes a little clearer as“ Deborah was raised up by God to intercede against idolatry (Ramah). She wanted to turn the hearts of the children of Israel back to the house of God (Bethel) to inherit a double portion of fruit (Ephraim).

Deborah's relationship with the Lord was very precious and intimate. I believe that in those twenty years of captivity, Deborah stood in the gap and interceded to change the course of Israel. God promised Abraham, in Genesis 18, that He would save a nation for the sake of ten righteous men. I believe that the righteous prayers of Deborah availed much!

She worshipped and had a deep intercessory life with God. She would go into the temple and fill the lamps with oil and ask God for revelation for people around her in great darkness. She was prepared in this secret place as she stood in the gap in desperate intercession for her people and her nation. She would hear from God and would bring down great wisdom and counsel. She spent long hours in the temple. This dedication moved the very heart of God and changed the very heart of Deborah. He led, she followed.

She led, Israel followed.

Oftentimes we have the misunderstanding that worship is merely the thirty-minute time slot before the sermon when we sing songs of devotion to God. This is part of worship. But doing small things with great love unto Him is living a life of worship. Deborah was a worshipper who loved the oil of the lamps, the Holy Spirit.

We need to be like Deborah, a people of prayer. Sincere and passionate prayer is the key to unlock our relationship with Almighty God. Many struggle with praying because they feel that their intercession is not much more than empty cries to an invisible God who seems so distant. We think that our prayers bounce off the ceiling and back to us unheard and unanswered. But beloved, God loves conversing with you! He promises that He will hear you and answer! It takes only a few seconds of a face-to-face encounter with God to change the course of human history for you, your city, or your nation.

In fact, connecting with God is the highest purpose for which you were created! This is eternal life to know Me! (John 17:3) Our hunger for God is what fuels our prayer life. When His presence is our passion and our hunger is for His heart, we can approach the throne of God boldly with the confidence that our Papa loves our prayers, but having this first love is so important.

For Deborah, intercession was an exchange of ideas in which God began to download strategic battle plans, blue prints from heaven, and keys to open doors that no man can shut and shut doors that no man can open. Isa. 22:22

How else could she have so wisely judged so many civil cases with the Israelites?

"I Am The Listener”

-A Prophetic Word of Hope and Help-

By the Holy Spirit through Mary Lindow

WHERE HAVE THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS OF ANGUISH BEEN NOTICED?
In the heart of the King who knows of your anguish on a personal level,
for I too wept and struggled to do my Father's will.

WHERE HAVE THE TEARS OF THE BROKENHEARTED ALL BEEN PUT INTO SAFE KEEPING?
In My holy place, where tears are counted as gold.

WHO HEARS THE GROANING AND SOBBING OF THOSE CRYING OUT FOR HELP, OR SOMEONE TO CARE AND HEAL THEIR ACHING WOUND?
I do.
I Am the Listener...
... In the heavenly kingdom of mercy.
I have heard every word spoken and unspoken in your heart and have recorded them in my book of remembrances.

I DO HEAR YOU CHILDREN.
I do hear you in your utter anguish and long for your hearts to be comforted, and the present pressures to be mended by My voice rising up against the things that are hurting you and are causing you such great weariness.

Psalm 22:24
"For he has not despised or disdained
the suffering of the afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him,
but has listened to his cry for help."

I say to those who are weary of the laments of their friends who are in an extended time of refining and anguish, “Open your hearts to my compassion and be ever so careful as to what you withhold in their time of need.
As you do to them…in your time of need so will it be done to you.”

Among those now in agony, sorrow and travail are the increasing voices that will reflect pure and clean perspective. They will not merchandise their callings or gifting nor run from difficulty. They will not lay claim to personal greatness, but instead will invest in the greatness of another generation looking for ethical purity and a holy fear of me.

Psalm 89:7 
"In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; 
He is more awesome than all who surround him."     
I KNOW THAT THE HOUR SEEMS LONG IN WAITING AND THAT YOU ARE NEARLY SPENT OVER THE SORROWS AND LOSSES THAT HAVE OCCURRED.   
I AM PREPARING AND TRAINING IN THE EARTH THOSE WITH A HEART LIKE JOSEPH, who will not withhold from others but instead, have stored up for their season of famine.
Joseph obeyed me and gave freely in the season of desperation and spared the next wave of leaders and the heritage that was to follow.   
I AM SEARCHING FOR THE MARYS WHO WOULD RISK... 
...Risk all they have and who would pour out on the feet of those who have identified with the seed falling into the ground type of death, the precious and lavishly expensive oil, scented with the perfume of refreshing and life. These will receive even more to bless others in the days ahead because of the quality of sacrifice and the knowledge of its value.    
I KNOW THAT THE LIGHT SEEMS DIM RIGHT NOW. 
I know that you might not feel my presence like you did in the past. It is to train you to know Me in your inner spirit being, trusting that my still small voice is enough to lead you if need be…moment by moment.   
Isaiah 30:21 
"Whether you turn to the right or to the left,
 your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 
"this is the way; walk in it." 

 I WILL HOLD YOUR MIND TOGETHER, YOUR BODY IN REST... 
...And your heart in My hand. I have spoken to those who are to assist you on your way and I am dealing with their hearts to let go of the fear of being used or the fear of letting go.  All of this is in My plan.   The world shall know that “I Am” when love, equality in sharing, and compassion are more evident than the personal shouts of greatness and the opinions of the mighty. 
 I AM WITH YOU. 
Psalm 66:19-20  
"But God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. 
Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer,
or withheld his love from me!   "

2011 – "An Unscripted and Formative Year" - A Prophetic Perspective

By Mary Lindow and the Holy Spirit

In the moments of waiting and listening for the insights from the heart of the Lord for the up and coming year, two words have reoccurred.

The two words are- “Unscripted and Formative”

The following terms defined, set the tone for what I have been given to share with you Dear Reader, in regard to the Father’s heart towards you personally, His Bride collectively, and those in rebellious resistance to His plan.

Definition:
Unscripted - Spoken or delivered without a prepared script; impromptu.

Definition:
Formative – serving to form or shape something, especially having a profound and lasting influence on a person's development.

The passing of time is nothing new to mankind and certainly not to God. The redeeming of time however is a unique and event that can save someone from error or evil.

The Lord has a tireless passion for redeeming lost years, lost time and lost people.

“Redeem me from human oppression,
that I may obey your precepts.”
Psalm 119:134

And so the Lord has plans set into motion for this next year that only He knows about and also which only He can execute. These plans are formative, they have a purpose within them to form and develop the lives of those on planet earth. And, the Lord is not going to pass out scripts or roles to those who feel that they deserve a place on the stage where these plans will be presented. He Himself will set into motion each specific event.

LEARNING HUMILITY IN THE HIGH PLACES
When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
But with humility comes wisdom.
Proverbs 11:2

Many powerful men and women who were in elevated and highly visible positions of leadership politically, spiritually, and in the sport and entertainment fields, were uncovered as frauds and vile abusers during the past year of what appeared to be a virulent year of repeated and embarrassing exposures.

The Lord is again FIRMLY warning many out in these arenas, large and small, that there is still an opportunity for you to redeem the time. The falsifying of your claimed insights from God to manipulate financial support, fame, notoriety and honor for good deeds will no longer not only be tolerated, but will in fact be double-stamped with the seal of “liar and thief” if the appeals for connived support are not stopped. God is not behind what you have requested in His Name.

Some of you have gorged yourselves upon the offerings of widows and those who foolishly gave on impulse due to your slick emotional pleas and contrived media images and heart tugging background musical interludes. You have robbed and stolen from others whom God has anointed and blessed in smaller settings, and their cries for help and assistance have not gone unheard from the Heart of heaven.

UNDERGIRD THE UNDERDOG
The Holy Spirit would have you soberly hear the following words.

"There will be a fresh wave of conviction to "undergird the underdogs" and a trending back towards smaller, steady, and steadfast ministries and servants who have faithfully plowed and served in seasons of loss, lack, and persecution. Rob nor more! You have more than muzzled the servant who has been plowing, and you will be judged for feigned ignorance towards their needs and suffering.

To those who feel as if they are more graced, more anointed and who think that they have a "special and more unique calling" that needs a preeminent opportunity to instruct and be seen...
... beware of the pride of life, the lust for power, and the wares of selfish ambition. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves. Philippians 2:3

You will be found upon the trash heap of loss and sorrow if you grasp and hold tightly to what was never really yours to begin with. It is mine, mine, mine! If you cannot accept the terms of what I request, you will be known as a divider, weak, and immature.
Again, I will not bless your intentions or your ambitions. You rob the Body of authentic Kingdom service by remaining secretive and destructive to My purposes.

James 3:14

But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.

James 3:16

For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

"You have heeded another voice, one who would put you upon the pinnacle of the world and promise you all power and wealth if you but just bow down.The Lord wants you to know, (although I tremble at even delivering this), that you have already bent one knee downward.

Get up and RUN from deception and self-indulgence, blatant lying, and entitlement!

You can be sure that using people or religion or things just for what you can get out of them — the typical indicators of idolatry — will get you nowhere, and certainly nowhere near the kingdom of Christ.

You have been taken in and spoiled by religious smooth talk. I am furious with people who are full of religious sales talk but who really want nothing to do with Me. You groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. You're out in the open now. The bright light of Christ makes your way plain.

So no more stumbling around. Get on with it! The good, the right, the true—these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours. Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it. If you don’t, you will be one of the next in line for public exposure. Everything you hide in darkness and in deceit will be brought out into the spotlight for all to see.

Do not waste your time on useless productions and glamor, silly busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It's a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ.  "

Wake up from your sleep,  

Climb out of your coffins;  

Christ will show you the light!  

Watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get.

These are desperate times! Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly.

Make sure you fully understand what the Master wants."

GOD MOVES AMONG THE CASTAWAYS
“Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?” declares the LORD.
These are the those I look on with favor:

those who are humble and contrite in spirit,

and who tremble at my word.”
Isaiah 66:2

You've probably never been marooned on a desert island. But you may know pretty well how it feels. In a world of bad relationships and superficial relationships and broken relationships, a lot of people know the feeling of being emotionally marooned, abandoned, and maybe even discarded. Because of some of what you've been through, you may feel like you're the castaway.

But your days on that island may be almost over. In fact, it could be that all your failed or frustrating relationships have actually been preparing you to experience the central relationships you were being readied for.
Anyone who has ever felt like an emotional castaway needs to hear the fabulous promise of Jesus Christ in this word for 2011 from the Word of God. Jesus says to all those who belong to Him, "I will not leave you as orphans. I WILL come to you.” John 14:18

This is the same Savior who says, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews. 13:5

He's the One who promised, "The one that comes to me, I will certainly not cast out."

John 6:37

And from now on, that promise of Jesus can be all about you,

"The one that comes to me I will certainly not cast out."

The Lord would say these words to you.

“You now understand the pain of betrayal, losses so great that you can no longer talk about them. You have ached in such agonizing despair, that at times you have begged me to let you die. Friends have turned and chosen to see you through blinded eyes of their own making, and have refused to help you to find your footing again, thinking they are doing you a service by letting you grovel and weep in painful loss and sorrow. You have been reduced in the past season to identifying with those who were forced to make bricks for Pharaoh without straw.

I too was a man of sorrows and endured the shame, in order to be formed, shaped and made ready for the moment of redemption.

And so shall it be with you. Redemption from the losses will come to those who choose obedience over pleasure, servanthood over being the served one, and letting go of the dreams of greatness you cling too, no longer using my name or gifts as a calling card.

Maturation is the call of the moment. Let the follies of your dim visions fall away.

I have a more perfect way that I am forming in you and for you.

I have caused you to cease from striving, from worrying, and from being anxious. You now rest up again my chest, waiting, trusting, wanting only ME. You have become kinder, a better listener, a more trusted confidant.

I can work well with those attributes. Just Watch Me in this Year.

I WILL Open the Way of Hope and shine Light on the pathway for those who have ceased from manipulating the moment.”

SEARED OR SOBER?

“The spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

SUCH TEACHINGS COME THROUGH HYPOCRITICAL LIARS, WHOSE CONSCIENCES HAVE BEEN SEARED AS WITH A HOT IRON.”
~ 1 Timothy 4

To have a seared conscience means to cause something to wither. To make (someone's conscience, heart, or feelings) insensitive.

Without the willingness of heart to fall upon the rock of God’s word, allowing every strength and support of our being to be fully broken, the wicked heart of mankind will continue to allow the searing effects of indifference and insensitivity to the effects of their choices to permeate more and more of the moral and sacred places of society.

I have been impressed to warn believers that the increase of sexual lures and smutty language has begun to pay a toll much larger than they realize. Many women who call themselves a follower of Christ have sadly joined the ranks of those who bare their deep cleavage and bellies (and more) as acceptable choices, joining in with “edgy fashions” and have been lulled into trends that sell away the sweetness and purity of a holy life. The warning voice of the Holy Spirit has been pushed away in order to better receive the leering complements from men.

Dear Sisters…
...Redeem the time.

The Lord says, “Wash yourselves clean from the stink of sexual prowling for validation, and come back to the place of simple beauty.”

Many men who call themselves believers have been equally lulled into patterns of television viewing that sears their minds into accepting whorish strutting and teasing to appear attractive and necessary to their manhood.

1 John 2:16
For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

RUN from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Honor God with your bodies.

Ephesians 5:16
Redeem the time, the days are evil;

MATURED AND SOLEMN

Sobriety-The quality of being matured or solemn.

Huge numbers of people are being brought to ruin because they are not thinking; thoughtlessly causing hurt or inconvenience to others is the devastation of thousands, and many a precious soul has been shattered through carelessness. The Lord is asking you to "consider your ways," and return to a walk with "The Still Small Voice" and begin a familiarity with him yet again. With conviction, it would be the most profitable relationship you could fall into! While you covet to see the world, you are a stranger at home.

1 Thessalonians 5:8
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober.

PRAYER AND A THANKFUL HEART

Colossians 4:2
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.”

As I close this word and insights for the year, I will share the last whispers the Lord spoke clearly to me.

“Each day, upon waking, where does your heart and mind wander to? Is it the plans and lists of things you must accomplish for the day? Is it the meal you are about to eat? Is it worry and the bracing yourself for another grinding day of dealing with the pressures of life?

Return to those early awakening moments where you and I share in the dialog of my plans for you. Each day you have to live and to give, you have been given the opportunity to impact someone and to do a kindness or act of training for another. Where has your thankful heart wandered? Without it, evidence of bitterness and drudgery will manifest and sour even the brightest flower of hope.

Return to the heart of the issue and clean away the rusty decay of treadmill thinking. Each day can be a fresh adventure into Kingdom purpose or, a continual repeating of a dreary existence. Choose ever so wisely.”

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,

let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.”

Hebrews 12:28

"WHAT I WILL TEACH YOU IN THE DAYS AHEAD"

A Prophetic Word by the Holy Spirit through Mary Lindow

Have you noticed that there are so very many voices in the world today claiming great insight and wisdom?

What I will teach you in the days ahead will instruct you in the way you should carefully and yes, even cautiously lead your life!

Listen, and it will keep you on My sharp advantage.

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."

Psalm 32:8

So many are gobbling up heady information from the voices of humanistic thought. Most of it is void of any real lasting wisdom. Many of my best prophets and teachers began to mix worldly thought with My Word and ended up diluting the power of their calling.

The power you long to see manifesting in your ministry settings only comes from getting clear and perfect instruction from My word. Dabble in intellectual study and you will appear “wise in the eyes of men,” but from My heavenly library of wisdom, you are viewed as shallow and pompous.

"Guard what has been entrusted to your care.

Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas

of what is falsely called knowledge."

1 Timothy 6:20

I want to demonstrate My instructions!

I will back up every teaching I have given to you with signs and miracles.

Sit at My feet and receive instruction.

Just like Mary did.

It will not be taken from you.

LET THEM SING FOR JOY ON THEIR BEDS

"Let his faithful people be filled with joy because of that honor.

Let them sing with joy even when they are lying in bed."

Psalm 149:5

I give you many things to speak out to My kingdom children.

Often, the insights seem simple.

I don’t ask you to figure out the reasons or the styles that I have you deliver words for Me. Just deliver them the way I ask, and when you have finished the delivery, wait for your next assignment!

Lay down for a time of rest, refilling, and rejoicing!

You must remember to re-fuel your body, soul and spirit!

Rest your body after giving out in ministry times! Quiet your mind with peaceful adoration and thanksgiving for all we accomplished together in caring for My people! Build your spirit man up by praying in the language of heaven!

"For anyone who enters God’s rest

also rests from their works,

just as God did from his."

Hebrews 4:10

You will be reinforced and ready to impart and instruct with my fresh anointing and a heart filled with joy!

THE UNIVERSE DECLARES MY MAJESTY!

Everything in heaven and on earth was created to declare My majesty!

The stars were created to radiate and twinkle My message of reflecting the light that flows from heaven! From the Father of Light!

In Him there are no shadows or darkness.

Every planet orbits in a musical rhythm!

Each planet following it’s own unique pathway of perfect balance in Me!

I hold the universe in the palm of My hand!

"When I consider your heavens,  the work of your fingers,  the moon and the stars,  

which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them,  

human beings that you care for them?"

Psalm 8:3-4

Everything I have formed and breathed upon has a declaration to make!

I Am the God of Wonder and Majesty!

If I hold the entire balance of hundreds of stars and galaxies beyond the one you live in, why would you fear that your life is not “orbiting” around my “Son” and His light just as I planned it?

I have everything for your life totally in motion NOW!

You may not see it but the course I have you on will bring promotion in the right “orbit”!

STOP TRYING TO PUSH AHEAD

Instead. Declare My majesty!

Prophesy to the winds! Let you words go out as containers of life, seeking out souls! Those words will not return to you empty!

They will return full of My wonder and My majesty!

“So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth;

It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire,

And without succeeding {in the matter} for which I sent it.” ~Isaiah. 55:11
