Calling All Shofars and All Intercessors!

Note from Nancy:  This is to be done on October 4th at 7:16pm YOUR TIME.

Some who receive this may not know me, but listen with your spirit. For the last 5 weeks I have been in a time of fasting and prayer. The Father is showing me a vulnerability in the enemy’s defenses and it involves unity and standing together. We all need to blow our shofars at the same time (7:16PM)on Yom Kippur(Oct 4^th ). Blow yours at this time in your time zone. This will create a wave of the voice of the Lord around the earth and shake the very foundations of the enemy’s kingdom. If you do not blow a shofar then shout Hallelujah which means “Praise to Yah” in Hebrew. Forward this to all your contacts around the world. Get the word out.It is time for us to rise up together!!

Further instructions are below

Beginning on the evening of Wednesday September 24 ( Tishri 1)and concluding on the evening of Friday September 26 ( Tishri 2)is Rosh Hashanah (Head of the Year) for this year. This the highest Holy days in Judaism. Also beginning on Tishri 1 and continuing until Tishri 10 is a time called “The Days of Awe”  or in Hebrew  “ Yamim Noraim” also called, ” Aseret Yemei Teshuvah” or the Ten Days of Repentance. I am hearing in the spirit that this year, this is a critical time for the body of Christ to have a chance to change things dramatically. Working with both personal and corporate repentance and carrying through to Yom Kippur on Tishri 10 we can change the course of this nation. On the evening of Tishri 10 there is a final blast of the Shofar signaling the end of Yom Kippur, this is a sealing blast. 

I can see in the spirit that the enemy is very confused and we could push this battle over the edge if the intercessors will come into one mind and one accord during this time. I know that I am only recently come into this realm and I do not try to tell anyone what to do, but God has isolated me for such a time as this so please take this and pray.  

This is a time where unity in the spirit and one common cause can really break things loose in the spirit and start the demise of the enemy at the gates of our nation and world. If all of us, no matter what our current battlefield is, will enter into serious repentance during Yamim Noraim and  If every Gatekeeper that has a shofar will sound it at nightfall (7:16 PM)  on Oct 4^th (Tishri 10), the combined forces coming from multiple locations will greatly confuse the enemy and could bring down the enemy’s defenses.  Spread across the time zones this means that there would be multiple sealing blasts around the world.

Shalom!

Keep Shinig!

When your enemy tries to obliterate you under the cover of darkness, surely the light of Our Just God, will show up! When you feel you are sitting in darkness and discouragement, remember HE is the light upon your path, and that path is shining brighter and brighter, Arise O Child of God, Take your place Son and Daughter of the MOST HIGH! Though You fall seven times, yet shall you arise. And when you sit in darkness, the LORD Himself will be a light unto thee. Arise shine, for YOUR light has come! The time is NOW. Wait no longer. You need not be stronger- for the joy of the Lord IS your strength. Sing and Shout and Praise His Name, until your light is an uncontainable FLAME! Amen.

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." (Proverbs 4:18).

Prophetic Poetic Prose Word

Let me speak this word to you:
 
Your enemy wants to FRUSTRATE you, CASTIGATE you, INTIMIDATE you, SUBJUGATE you and CASTRATE you!
 
Jesus came to LIBERATE you, so you can EXASPERATE the enemy’s plans for you! Though the enemy tries to castigate, Jesus exonerates you by His Blood. Therefore silence every accusation of the enemy and emancipate yourself to DREAM again. 
 
When the enemy comes to intimidate, you just need to intimate boldly his final abode in the lake of fire! He will quickly abdicate his barrage against you. And when he tries to subjugate, you simply DOMINATE by speaking the WORD and pleading the BLOOD!
 
Don’t let the enemy castrate you and cut off your hope, or cause you to cast away your confidence. Don’t abort that baby GOD has given you! Speak life to it, and press through the trials. God will bring you through shining like GOLD . Do not DEVIATE from the Path of BLESSING HE has set up for you. Walk on into your DESTINY Child of GOD for the BEST is YET TO BE!
  

Has Love Won Your Heart?

Easter Message preached on Radio to Gambia

Happy Resurrection Sunday April 20 2014

A Blessed Resurrection Sunday to All!
Every Word He has said is True, He indeed is Life and in Him is we find our purpose, our dreams and our very worth. God Blessings are released through Him. May you find in this Easter Sunday, the very fullness of all you could ever dream. God richly Bless You, as you seek HIM, for you shall surely find Him and be satisfied. Amen.

From the Message Bible:
Luke 24:1 At the crack of dawn on Sunday, the women came to the tomb carrying the burial spices they had prepared.
Luke 24:2 They found the entrance stone rolled back from the tomb,
Luke 24:3 so they walked in. But once inside, they couldn't find the body of the Master Jesus.
Luke 24:4 They were puzzled, wondering what to make of this. Then, out of nowhere it seemed, two men, light cascading over them, stood there.
Luke 24:5 The women were awestruck and bowed down in worship. The men said, "Why are you looking for the Living One in a cemetery?
Luke 24:6 He is not here, but raised up. Remember how he told you when you were still back in Galilee
Luke 24:7 that he had to be handed over to sinners, be killed on a cross, and in three days rise up?"
Luke 24:8 Then they remembered Jesus' words...

Blessed Palm Sunday to you!

A Blessed Palm Sunday to all! May the realization that all of the symbolism of the Palm branch, is found in The BRANCH the Lord Jesus Christ! Every Victory, Triumph, Success, Goodness, Peace and of course Eternal Life is found resident in Him. Crown Him with Many Crowns through your Praise for All that He IS! Hallelujah. Thank you Lord! You ARE Worthy of all our praise.

 Isa 11:1  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2  And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Isa 11:3  And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isa 11:4  But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
Isa 11:5  And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

Valentine Musings

Do you remember Valentine's Day in (primary) grade school?  The day held forth the promise of cupcakes and cookies and kool-aid brought in by the Moms.

Decorated brown paper bags that had been painstakingly embellished, were taped to the front of your desk.  Empty bags but open and beckoning, hoping 2 receive paper heart-shaped treasures dropped into them through out the day.  Oh the expectation, anticipation and bated breath!

Who could possibly explain that a  bag full of small white envelopes holding corny, folded valentine's with silly sayings, meant that you were counted in and not on the outside looking in?

How many were painfully aware of the rejects and rebuffs? Not knowing that you were Already CHOSEN.  Already LOVED.  Already desperately desired as aValentine?

This Valentine's Day, I pray that you will embrace the Love that is ALREADY yours!  I pray that you will turn and find your deepest desires not just met but fulfilled beyond all expectations and that you will be overwhelmed and swept away by the Lover of Your Soul. The ONE who knows you better than you know yourself and is as close as your  own skin because that is where HE desires to be, under your skin, in the crevices of your heart and in every area of your life!   

HE was there at each and every Valentine's day from your past, both the happy and the sad ones.  Before you were even born He hummed and sang over you: 

"I am your Valentine, Will you be Mine? Will you supine and your heart let Me entwine?  I will be the song your heart sings, with words and melody that only Heaven brings!  I love you so, more than you know, and I shall lovingly watch you grow. I shall wait for you, wait for you, wait for you My Love! For I died for you, bled for you, rose to give you life anew!  I call to you, and woo you, and draw you to Me, your whole life through.  So come to Me, dine with Me, recline with Me, and let me sing to you!  Laugh with Me, smile with Me, cry tears for Me that others may know My Love that's True, for don't you know I've cried tears for all of you?  Flow with Me, Grow with Me, Then Go for Me, and Show for Me the Love that I gave to you. Reach for Me, Teach for Me, Use the Gifts I've Given to you.  Love's the Key that opens the door, and there is so much more, just waiting for you to explore!  So Come my Valentine, let your heart incline and feast on My Love sublime." Jesus

Appreciating His Workmanship

Have you ever heard someone say? " Oh, they are such a piece of work!"  It is not meant as a compliment, but a put down.  But what they don't realize is we are all a piece of work, HIS WORKMANSHIP, created in HIS IMAGE.  

Gen. 1:26-27 (AMP) God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. [Psalms 104:30; Hebrews 1:2; Hebrews 11:3]  So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. [Colossians 3:9-10; James 3:8-9]

Eph 2:10-14 (ISV)  For we are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared long ago to be our way of life. So then, remember that at one time you were gentiles by birth and were called "the uncircumcision" by what is called "the circumcision" made in the flesh by hands.  At that time you were without Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise. You had no hope and were in the world without God. But now, in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.  For it is he who is our peace. In his flesh he made both groups one by tearing down the wall of hostility that divided them. 
 
And even when that "workmanship" is in rebellion, and has made itself filthy by wallowing in the muck of sin that is so readily found in the world around us, that does not change the fact that they are still created in HIS image!  They just don't know, or have lost sight of that image. But it is emblazoned on their hearts and deep in their spirits.

Haggai 2:7  I will shake all the nations, and the one whom all the nations desire will come. Then I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Armies.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (AMP)  He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men's hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

The Prophet Isaiah had a vision of the Throne Room and saw  the seraphim which flew around God's throne. And as they flew, one would call out to the other saying, "Holy, Holy, HOLY is the Lord!" (Isa.6:1-3)

I heard a minister say once the reason they cried out continually, was because every time they moved they saw God from a different facet or angle and it would cause them to cry out.   Now, the Word doesn't specifically say that, but how many of you have ever known someone whom you loved or just admired greatly?  The more you got to know that person, the more depth of their inward beauty you could see and it was like the unfolding of a flower, was it not?  It's kind of like that with the Lord. 

Psalms says it like this: Psalm 96:9  Bow before the beauty of GOD, Then to your knees--everyone worship! 
 
My friend and I were talking and sharing back and forth and she was saying how she has met some really sold out, on fire people, that just bless her with their presence.  At the same time she is rather humbled and amazed by their response to her,  acknowledging the gifts and beauty that God has placed in her and saying how much she blesses them! As she talked, I thought of a beautiful woman of God that I "mentor" and how her insight and views have often just caused me to catch my breath and say, "Oh wow God!" as I would see something from a new facet that she had shared.

And out of my spirit came this response:  "It is like the seraphim as they flew around God and kept seeing a different facet.  You are seeing facets of God in them, that stretch you and encourage you and bless you.  But they are seeing facet of God in YOU and that blesses them and stretches and encourages them!  

Proverbs 27:17 (BBE) Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend. 

For you see, we are HIS workmanship. And into each one of us, He has deposited a piece of Himself, that we may behold a glimpse of Him in each other. It is only when the pieces are redeemed that He can start shining through.  And the more we encourage and appreciate Him in ourselves and each other, the more place we give Him to shine and work through us!  

So, let me ask you.  

Have you belittled or made small the workmanship that is called "YOU?" What about others?

What steps can you take to make an adjustment to how you view yourself and others?  Remember this is not a competition!  We (all of us) are being fitly joined together (with each other and in Him)

Epheshians 2:19-22  Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God's [own] household. You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone. In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord]. In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit. 

1Peter 2:5 (MSG) Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you'll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God. 

Sit down and write out the wrong thoughts that HE has brought to your attention and then write out the declarations of God; what HE says about you! And then quite simply choose to believe what He has said and when those wrong thoughts try to creep back in firmly shut the door.  Give God the Glory for what He has done in you and through you and know that He is at work even yet, perfecting all that concerns you!

 Psalm 138: 8 (GNB)  You will do everything you have promised; LORD, your love is eternal. Complete the work that you have begun. 

Philippians 2:13 (AMP)  [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
 
Oh Lord, You take such great delight in me! You are continually attentive, watching over me and at work in me and on my behalf.  This thought both comforts me and staggers me, as I realize how intimately involved in my life You really are!  Help me to realign my thoughts to Yours in every area of my life.   Both how I view myself, others and situations that I see or am in.  Give me the view of Your heart and Your mindset, that I may speak aright, and walk in integrity before You and man.  I thank You Abba for all that you have done and yet will do. I give you my heart, I give you my soul, come take complete control and have Your way in me and through me.  Let it all be for the Glory of Your Name and the building and expansion of Your Kingdom.  It is in Jesus' Name I pray and receive the Grace to walk in all that You have planned for me. Amen.

The Portrait of God in Your Life

Your Life is called to make history- His Story. You weren't created for mediocrity, for nothingness.  You were created with a purpose and a passion that comes from God.  You are a gift to the peoples of this earth.  A gift from a loving Father, who is a creator- an artiste of unlimited magnitude.  Your life is His expression.  Not necessarily everything that has happened to you, for this fallen world would seek to mar the beauty and turn off the music and put out the light.  But they cannot.  It lives inside of you.  So don't let disappointments, or fears or your self made limitations hold you back.  Throw yourself into the arms of the your loving Father, who wants you to discover all that He has created you to be.  Give yourself over to Him completely. Fall so in love with Jesus and Father God and Holy Spirit...that nothing is too hard, nothing is too small, nothing is too big or high to attain, for HE is bigger and stronger and His Love is more powerful.  It will pick you up, it will thrust you forth and it will keep you and it will lead you an it will compel you. But it is the most wonderful love that you cannot live with out. You cannot be whole with out this love of His.  It is time to discover His Love for you, or rediscover it. all over again.  Be refreshed, Be revived. Be loved this day as never before.  And let Him become your everything.... because YOU mean everything to HIM.

Acts 20:24 (New Living Translation)

New Living Translation (NLT)

²⁴ But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

Is this your song? if not, will you make it your song? What is our life worth if we are not following Christ, if we are not laying down our lives moment by moment. What does our life amount to, if we are not BEING Christ to others, bringing His Presence, His Passion for souls and touching lives and allowing HIM to touch through me and you and transform lives...

Oh Lord-Pick me up like a paint brush and Paint YOUR Picture...





“Paint Your Picture / The Paintbrush” by Julie Meyer

Tell your story as You mold me
Fashion a heart that is wholly Yours
And write Your name, write Your name in the clay
And sign Your name, sign Your name on the picture
And write Your name, write Your name in the clay
And sign Your name, sign Your name on the picture
Pick me up like a paintbrush
God, dip it in the colors of my life
And paint Your picture

Are You Part of "The First Fruits" Company?

"There is always a people in every move of God that are a "first fruits company.  But you've got to be hungry enough for that.  You have to be desperate!  The good kind of desperate in God." Dr. (Apostle) Mark Kauffman of Jubilee Ministries Int'l

My spiritual Dad, Pastor Rusty Bowles has also said similiar to me:  "God always has a Remnant." 

Those that are of the "First Fruits company" are strategically placed and strategically"wired" if you will, that they must cross over and taste the grapes and bring back the evidence to those living in the wilderness, that "there IS more" than what they have experienced and more than where they are right now.

Are YOU desperate for more?  I know I am!  Will YOU be one of those that will cross over and taste the  fruit and then lead your comrades into that promised land-which is their inheritance?  Now remember our true inheritance is not found in brick and mortar, or tangible, physical things!  This inheritance is a place in God that will bring all those other things into view and possession.  But our true inheritance is only found in a deep, continuing relationship with Christ. Out of that flows all else.  Seek ye first the kingdom of God...

Will you be a pioneer?  Will you not be satisfied to stay where you are, but instead GO and face "your wilderness" and conquer it and help others to conquer theirs?  There is no roadway in the wilderness-at least not the kind made by man.  
But there IS a roadway through the wilderness that is mapped out and planned by God!  It is written on your heart-deep in your Spirit Man.  It is a pathway of Holiness and it is beckoning to you!  

Holiness means being set apart, consecrated-living by a different standard than that of the world.  The world says, "get there first and get all you can for yourself.  Push, knock and shove aside others if you have to-just get there!"

But the Spirit says, "Go before and open the door.  Knock, shove and push out of the way all that would hinder those who will follow and come behind you."

The first is all about self, the second is all about others. But the neat thing about the second way is that you get the spoils AND you get to share them too!  Seeing others enjoying God and receiving their inheritance is so much more fun than just getting there first and getting something for yourself and hoarding it.  Father's heart is all about giving and sharing!  For God so loved... that He gave... And He keeps on giving!

In 2014 will your life be a testimony of "living to give"?  I challenge you, let's press into God together! Let's demonstrate God every where we go and by doing so we're carving a roadway in the wilderness of this world that will lead/show others to His Goodness, Grace and Glory.

Calling all pioneers. It's time to mount up with wings as Eagles. Time to spy out the land. Time to press and possess. It is time for breakthrough! Don't halt and don't hold back.  Press through, cross over... We're blazing a pathway of Glory, a pathway of Love, a pathway of Integrity and Righteousness.  We're tearing down strongholds and removing barriers.  We're preparing the way of the Lord, till all shall come to the saving knowledge that Jesus is Lord!

The Spirit is calling!  Can you hear Him?  "First Fruits Company- FORWARD-HO!"

Welcome to the Year of New!

Don't waste the "new." Enjoy it, run with it, maximize it!  There's Changes and rearranges coming your way.  Know that you are not "the same old you" carried over into this new year.  God is at work, changing, rearranging, still working on you! You are going from faith to faith, strength to strength and Glory to Glory! Embrace the New You for the New Year of New Mercies and Blessings that GOD has planned for YOU!  Hallelujah.

 Isa 43:19 (AMP)  Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
 Psalm 96:1  O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Song of Solomon 7:13  The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. 

Lamentations 3:22-23  It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Ezekial 36:26  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 

Joel 3:18  And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. 

St. John 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

 2Cor 3:6  (AMP)  [It is He] Who has qualified us [making us to be fit and worthy and sufficient] as ministers and dispensers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not [ministers] of the letter (of legally written code) but of the Spirit; for the code [of the Law] kills, but the [Holy] Spirit makes alive. [Jeremiah 31:31]
2Co 5:17 (AMP)  Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

Heb 10:19  Therefore, brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the [Holy of] Holies [by the power and virtue] in the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20  By this fresh (new) and living way which He initiated and dedicated and opened for us through the separating curtain (veil of the Holy of Holies), that is, through His flesh,
Heb 10:21  And since we have [such] a great and wonderful and noble Priest [Who rules] over the house of God,
Heb 10:22  Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water.
Heb 10:23  So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.
Heb 10:24  And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities,
Heb 10:25  Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together [as believers], as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching. 

 

IT'S A NEW SEASON  by Israel Houghton

Chorus:
It's a new season, it's a new day.
A fresh anointing is flowing my way.
It's a season of power and prosperity.
It's a new season coming to me.

Verse 1:
The devil's time is up no longer can he bother me,
‘cause the Creator of the universe He fathers me,
and it's transferable my children's children shall be free;
it's a new season (it's a new season).

If you don't know by now, you need to know it's jubilee,
where debts are cancel and your children walk in victory.
It's so available to you right now just taste and see,
it's a new season (it's a new season).

Verse 2:
The new millennium presents a new horizon,
and no greater time for us to make a choice and take a stand.
All that we need, is resting in His hands;
it's a new season (it's a new season).

All that was stolen is returned to you a hundredfold,
Tried in the fire but you're coming out gold.
Cling to His hand,
yes, to every promise take a hold;
it's a new season (it's a new season)

Ending:
It's a new season coming to me.
