Word for 2013

There are already many "Words" that have been given, this is the piece that God has given to me.  I make it a practice to not read other people's prophecies until I have heard from God for myself about the coming year... so if any of this sounds like something you have already heard, it is because we all share the same Holy Spirit.  I trust that you will be strengthened and edified. God Bless You dear reader and Happy New Year to you!

Word for 2013: 

Look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for not all is as it seems.

As I was contemplating 2013 and asked the Lord for a word… that is what He spoke to me.  I thought about and had a few snapshots in my mind of all these different scenarios that were playing out and what things look like in the natural…   But God’s Word spoke to my heart that there are many things in front of us.  Some are good and some are bad.  But, we cannot walk by sight, or by how we feel. We cannot even use our senses to tell what is really real, for the master deceiver wants to paint a picture so bleak, that we as Christians won’t even open our mouths to speak. But we must speak the Truth of God’s Word.  We must stand on the promises that have always stood. We cannot let go, or draw back now!  We cannot fail to be with Him at the bow.  For though it looks like it, and well you may think, but our ship will not sink, as long as the helm is held by the Masters firm and steady hand. So, it is time to stand! Stand upon your watch to see.  See those things that can not been seen except by the eye of the Spirit as though in a dream.  So stretch out in Faith, dare to believe, that He has given to you what you will need. So now just receive.

Many things are presenting themselves to us, and a great deal of it is in the form of bad news.  2012 has had some disappointments in it and our hope we seem to lose.  Indeed people made promises they could not keep, problems and sorrows seemed to have grown so deep!  Bad things happened with the threat of more in store.  Economic troubles make us want to go hide and just shut the door!  Things heating up in the Middle East, will the drama never cease?  Evil forces want to take Israel down, want to wear her blood like a victory crown.  Israel is not the problem, so don’t cast your blame, for these forces want America’s downfall just the same. The Great Satan they jeer, we don’t want you here! It is the lifelong battle of darkness and light.  But the struggle will not be won only by Power and Might.  It is Spiritual for those who have eyes to see, the natural reminds us of our own mortality.  It all comes down to choices, and what will you choose?  More lies to swallow with more to lose.  Or, trust the light of One you cannot see.  Step out of Babylon’s bondage and finally be free!  The world is a place of wonder and delight, but the world system that runs it, is full of chicanery and fright. So do not look for answers there, the world has nothing which can compare with the Matchless Beauty, The Sovereignty, Truth and Light found in the Heart of God, or the Love which burns so Bright. Jesus is STILL the Answer for the world today. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers or give heed to what they say. Yes, things out there are dark, and the darkness will get only darker still. But now is the finest hour to be a light shining on a hill!  Will you take that upward climb?  Will you, all the follies of this world resign? Truly let your light shine!  When you have given it all to Jesus, then you are living with nothing to lose. So do not fear to come up near, to that old rugged cross so dear.  Divest yourself of all that holds you back, from running fully on that glorious racing track.  Do not look at what you can see, step out in Faith and Trust In ME!

2Co 4:17  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

2Co 4:18

(AMP)  Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.

Two men of God have spoken to me and told me what they hear about 2013. 

Pastor Rusty Bowles has told me it will be a Year of Activation.

Many things will get activated.

Pastor David Carey has said it will be a Year of the Holy Spirit.

Do you see how these two fit together? As we give place to the Holy Spirit and allow activation of our faith and gifts for His service, the Holy Spirit will step in to move through us, move upon us and for us.

Glory!  It is time for a glory invasion. It is time for God’s Presence through His power and signs and miracles to be so in evidence upon this earth!  We have had enough of mediocrity.  It is time for the sons of God to come forth!  Problems present themselves, begging for answers and solutions. We have the Answer!  His name is Jesus. He is the only one who can free us. So be free from the cares of this world. The tyranny and demands that do not belong to us. Truly God cares for us and is our ample reward and our shield. So loose any fear, rise up, be healed, be whole, be still and know! Know that I AM GOD! 

~x~x~x~  

Hallelujah! Amen!

Private Word to All of my sons and daughters:
I release this Word to you:  May you rise up in the strength of HIS Might, Be strong and Courageous and conquer every devil set against you.  I pray His Wisdom be yours, His strategies be revealed to you, and His unlimited provision to flow from His place of blessing, to you.  I speak Apostolic Blessings over you now in Jesus Name.  Rise up, Be strong and Courageous. Meet your adversities head on with renewed confidence and energy. Stay your course and Win. Victory is in sight, if you see it by the eyes of Faith!

Simple Message- Give it All to Jesus

Although Evie Tornquist Karlson's music is from a simpler time,and without all the technical adornment's we find today, the message is timeless and beautiful.

The truth of the matter is, everyday we live and breath, we have a choice- to try to do it all ourselves, or to give God the reins.  Even as Christians too many times we spin our wheels "trying" to help God! Trying to fulfill our dreams, or snared into helping others to the point that we find ourselves frustrated and burned out.

This is not how God meant our lives to be.  To all you good 'church folk" out there: it is not about church functions, it is about functioning in a living, ever expanding, loving relationship with God and our fellow man!  It is not about going to church, it is BEING the church. The one that is made up of lively and precious stones, being built up and fitly joined together to form a living temple fit for HIS habitation.  We are to be living epistles, read of men... our life an example of His Love.

Love can be practiced in so many ways.  Through words and deeds. How about kindness?  How about that cup of cold water given to a parched throat, that helping hand to get back upon your feet, that smile at a stranger that warms their heart to receive more than just the smile? That "word"  that is both encouraging yet reminding the hearer that it came from God's heart through you.

We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we do know who holds tomorrow. It might look like tomorrow and all our futures are held hostage by maniacs bent on destroying life as we know it.  This is certainly true for the nation of Israel.  And really, it is true for many nations, as evil forces gather.

But even as those forces gather, there is also a gathering of God's angels.  God is not with out plans nor is He without power!  Although God put man in charge of the Garden of Eden and we blew it, He has not left us defenseless and rejected.  He sent a Savior.  He sent JESUS.  HE gave His best so that we can be our best - and actually be what HE created us to be.  His sons and daughters!

In a world that has gone so far from what the original intent of it was, and is so marred with sin and all of its by products, He still plants us in the middle of it. But this time instead of us being in a garden, we ARE the Garden. His garden.  And we are to meet Him there and share and gain what is needed for our day to day living.  Daily Manna, from Heaven.  It is still falling on the ground for us to pick up and partake of. Just come into the garden with Him and be refreshed.  And then go out into the world a firebrand, a flame, a torch, a candle that cannot be hidden!

But first give it all to Jesus.  And receive His All into your heart and life.  Amen.

Waiting for You_Prophetic Word

America waits, some agonizing, many glued to the television, watching numbers as the night crawls by slowly.  We are waiting the announcement.  Who will our next president be?

So too, Heaven waits.  Not just for America to choose a president, but a path of life or a path of death.  This is the same choice that God holds out to every nation on earth.  Heaven awaits your choice earth.  Will you choose God or will you choose self?  Will you choose Kingdom ways, or man's ways? 

Long ago Israel was faced with a similar choice.  To have God as their Head, or to choose a King.  They wanted a king, so they would be like everyone else.  God gave them what they wanted, much to His heartbreak and their own detriment.

"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12 & Proverbs 16:25

On a mountain top long ago not once, but twice God gave us choices.   In the wilderness He spoke through Moses and said, "See this day I have set before you, Blessing or cursing, Life or death.  Therefore Choose Life!"  Then again on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross... and once again a choice was given.  The sacrifice of an innocent man for the guilty.  The spotless Lamb of God, to redeem the wretched sinner; ME!  And You! All of you! 

 If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master.  Genesis4:7 (BBE)

"Awake awake o sleeper! Time has gone by and it is time to arise!  Arise before the Bridegroom cometh! Get thee ready!  Prepare your hearts!  The deceiver comes to deceive many. Do not be among those found drifting, dozing, asleep at the wheel!  Do not be taken in by vain words, swelling lies and promises!  Do not listen to men, Listen to ME, says the Lord!  I will not lie! I do not lead astray.  I have come to show you the way.  The way of Salvation. The way of the Kingdom.  The way of My Heart!  I AM your only refuge. I AM your strong tower!  I am your very present help in time of need!  The kingdoms of this world cannot save you, cannot keep you. Only I can do that!Return to ME, the Giver of Life, the Giver of all that is Good.  Return and be not forsaken, be not barren in the things that matter most!  Return to ME, for I am waiting for you."

Isa 55:1  Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy [priceless, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price [simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing]. [Revelation 21:6, 7; 22:17]
Isa 55:2  Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness [the profuseness of spiritual joy]. [Jeremiah 31:12-14]
Isa 55:3  Incline your ear [submit and consent to the divine will] and come to Me; hear, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercy (kindness, goodwill, and compassion) promised to David. [2 Samuel 7:8-16; Acts 13:34; Hebrews 13:20]

If I Were the Devil by the late Paul Harvey

2Chronicles 7:14 (GW) However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, search for me, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear their prayer from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country. 

 Proverbs 14:34  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Saw reference to this Paul Harvey article, in a video on a TV program called: "In God We Trust."  So used "Good Search"  to look for the transcript. Here it is, The Original version, 1965. I am purposely not giving you any link, because there are "tons" of versions out there, most with a political or biblical agenda tagged on.  I wanted you to just read the words against the backdrop of "now" and then pray for America to return to God. Let's put God back at the helm of our Great Nation!  Thank you. Nancy

Blessed is the NATION whose GOD is the LORD!  
******************************

If I were the Devil . . . I mean, if I were the Prince of Darkness, I would of course, want to engulf the whole earth in darkness. I would have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree, [thee] so I should set about however necessary to take over the United States.

I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you, as I whispered to Eve:

 “Do as you please.”  “Do as you please.”

To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”.

In the ears of the young marrieds, I would whisper that work is debasing, that cocktail parties are good for you. I would caution them not to be extreme in religion, in patriotism, in moral conduct.

And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to say after me: “Our Father, which art in Washington” . . .

If I were the devil, I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull an uninteresting. I’d threaten T.V. with dirtier movies and vice versa.

And then, if I were the devil, I’d get organized. I’d infiltrate unions and urge more loafing and less work, because idle hands usually work for me.

I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. And I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.

If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellects but neglect to discipline emotions . . . let those run wild. I would designate an atheist to front for me before the highest courts in the land and I would get preachers to say “she’s right.”

With flattery and promises of power, I could get the courts to rule what I construe as against God and in favor of pornography, and thus, I would evict God from the courthouse, and then from the school house, and then from the houses of Congress and then, in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and I would deify science because that way men would become smart enough to create super weapons, but not wise enough to control them.

If I were Satan, I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg and the symbol

of Christmas a bottle. If I were the devil, I would take from those

who have and I would give to those who wanted, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And then, my police state would force everybody back to work. Then, I could separate families, putting children in uniform, women in coal mines, and objectors in slave camps.

In other words, if I were Satan,

I’d just keep on doing what he’s doing.

Paul Harvey, Good Day.

Word of Love to You Israel From Your God and King

Israel, My Israel.  All may forsake you but I will never forsake you.  Others may hunt you, and track you down like a wild animal to slaughter you and bring you to extinction. But I Your GOD hunt you to bring you back from the four corners of the Earth.  To bring you from dispersal to rehearsal of your greatest days! I bring reversal, I am the Great GOD and their is no one like me.  With cursing and plotting your enemies lay in wait, to annihilate. I, your God, the One who has called you by Name, who has led you to the place where I choose to dwell with you...  It is I who will turn your enemies back at the gate. It is I, the I AM THAT I AM,  who does lay in wait to show MYSELF strong unto you once again my chosen people.  All hell may try to prevail.  There are yet Zionist Christians willing to travail on your behalf because MY heart is in them for you.  I have given you a home, one to call your own. It belongs to you because YOU BELONG to ME and I will see you free from the tyranny of hatred against you, trying to uproot you, trying to invade you, trying to take you out.  It is time MY People to give the VICTORY shout unto ME and blow the SHOFAR strong and long.  I desire to give you a song. One that no one can drown out, no matter how angry and loud they shout.  Because MY sweet People, YOU Belong to ME and I find great delight in thee.  Meet ME in the secret place of your heart and let ME set you apart, apart unto ME once again you see.  My Israel, I LOVE THEE!

Crisis or Chrysalis Revisted

Crisis or Chrysalis? Revisited. (First posted April 29, 2009)

When Jesus went to the Cross, it was a time of tremendous emotional upheaval for his Mom, His Disciples and even his distant followers. It was also a time of upheaval for Heaven and Hell and Earth itself as evidenced by the natural happenings of eclipse, unusual darkness, earthquake and ripping of the temple Veil.

Some of you may indeed feel that you are in a crisis, even as you read this. But the Lord gave me a Word today that will set you free! Do not allow your vision to become eclipsed by the things in your immediate surroundings. Nor fear something that may loom in the distance. It may seem all dark around you. But the Light of the Gospel and the Love of God has been shed abroad into your heart. Walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, even as He told us I am the Light of the World. He is lighting and lightening your way.

What may sound like thunderous cheers at your struggle by the enemy is really signaling the beginning of the end of Hell's grasp on your throat. The enemy has tried to strangle you. He has wanted to keep you down, keep you quiet, keep you unable to rise and soar. But! What he perceives as your "end" is really his end!

Even as a caterpillar goes into a cocoon, and it seems a death is taking place to the caterpillar, so too it seems you have entered into a "Valley of death" from which you wonder if you will escape. But there is a transformation taking place. Do not let the crisis of the moment and the tyranny of the things being demanded cause you to look away from the Face of the One who Loves you and Who gave (yielded) Himself up [to atone] for Your sins [and to save and sanctify You], in order to rescue and deliver You from this present wicked age and world order, in accordance with the will and purpose and plan of our God and Father--

Do not doubt, HE WILL bring you OUT!
The Veil that hides Him from your view is being removed.
Your eyes have seen and will yet see again the Glory of the Lord. But, you need to see that it is not just in HIM, but it is in YOU and has RISEN upon you! He has taken you into the Holy of Holies with Himself and ushered you past everything that cries out that you are not worthy, you are not ready, you can not do this. He makes you both ready and worthy and He tells you when to fly and when to stay under His wing. He alone can make your tired, heavy heart to sing! He alone is your strength, your reason for being. He alone is Life and in Him is the Light you need for right now.

You are not in crisis as you suppose. You are in Chrysalis- and He is transforming
what was, into what He says IS and you shall be-
the gift of Beauty and Grace to this Earth that He has created you to be.
Selah and give thanks!

As you can see by this, it was written back in 2009.  I have walked through many a “Crisis/Chrysalis” moment since then.   And yes, HE has brought me out of all of them, and IS bringing me out, even of what is now in front of me.  I am no different than you.  I Must walk by Faith, day by day.  Chrysalis is the  process of a caterpillar spinning a cocoon and then being locked away… the worm is transformed and becomes a beautiful butterfly. That butterfly must beat its wings and struggle to get out of its cocoon…but in that struggle it is strengthened to take on the harsh realities of living in the world no longer secluded and hidden from view in its former prison- the cocoon.

These days, finds your surroundings in crisis. Israel is being threatened daily, by those trying to wipe out her existence. Uganda is experiencing daily black outs. Kenya & Uganda have had drought and so has So. Africa. India has seen soaring prices on everything, as you also have seen. Now is a time to watch and pray, not with fear but with authority and power!  We must stand with and for Israel and pray for her as well as for our own corners of the world that we each live in.

My dear ones, our earth is in crisis!  The world is speeding headlong into a worldwide crisis that they have no clue how to stop!  Scripture is urgently calling out to us to take our place, to fulfill our destiny, to run the race.  We must stop majoring on inconsequential things and become Kingdom minded!  We must not look at what we (think or in reality) lack, but what we have already at our disposal and within our reach.  All of Heaven stands ready for action; they are waiting on our move!  It is our voice speaking HIS WORDS, that propels the angelic host to do His Bidding at the sound of His Word.

It is our actions of Faith and Obedience that puts into motion events spiritually, which translate into the natural.  

Rom 8:18  (AMPLIFIED) [But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us!

Rom 8:19  For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].

Rom 8:19  (WNT)  For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God.

Rom 8:22 (MSG)  All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it's not only around us; it's within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We're also feeling the birth pangs.

This world order- the world’s way of doing things, is pregnant with the sin it has engaged in.  The creation, the world and its animals and its people all created by a loving God are being held captive in the grip of the sin that so easily besets us. (Hebrews 12:2) 

It is when we come out of our cocoon, just like when the butterfly emerges from its cocoon, the world will see the transformation.  That transformation is now taking place with in us as we renew our minds and set our affections on things that are above.  As we pursue HIM, to KNOW HIM and be KNOWN of HIM as Paul wrote in Phillipians.

Php 3:8  Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One),

Php 3:9  And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law's demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith.

Php 3:10  [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope]

Php 3:11  That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].

Php 3:12  Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own.

Php 3:13  I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

Php 3:14  I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.

There is an upward calling. It is taking the high road, of Honor and Righteousness, instead of resorting to fleshly, worldly and carnal desires and actions, even when in the face of great persecution, fear and disappointments.

The small choice you make today to live holy, to speak the truth in love, to pray for one another and Israel, and governments,  to walk away from an argument, to not say the last word… to not frustrate the Grace of God, but rather to grow in grace as He is helping and enabling you day by day.  All of these things matter!  The smallest details of your life MATTER in the great scheme of things.  YOU matter to HIM.  And you matter to the course of things here on earth. 

Now I can hear you saying, “Me?  I matter, I can change the course of a Nation? Oh come on, you have got to be kidding me!”  No, I am not joking, I am speaking very seriously and honestly.  You name the Name of Christ, then, LIVE like Christ!  Live in Divine union with and to and through Him.  For as you do, you are a living Epistle, read and known of men.  2Cor. 3:2 in the Message Bible says it like this:

(MSG)  You yourselves are all the endorsement we need. Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read by just looking at you.

As you live for Christ, and are HIS, then as they read, they are reading Christ in you the Hope of Glory. They are SEEING Christ in you the hope of Glory. 

I had a bumper sticker sign on a car once that said, “Jesus, Changing The World, One Life At A Time.”  As your life changes, people see and they begin to want to change too. Then you share the love of Christ, you share the Word of Christ, you SHOW the World Christ, by your very life.  There will be change.  As you speak to the things around you and command them to line up with the Word of God, you command a sphere of influence. As that influence is exerted and then your neighbor gets saved and is taught, and they speak to their surroundings… do you see how this works? 

Begin where you are, but begin TODAY.  YOU speak the Word.  YOU live Holy. YOU walk in Love. Because Beloved FAITH only WORKS by LOVE!

Galations 5:6

(AMP)  For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.

Let me put it in simple terms.  Whether you are educated or uneducated, whether you have money or have none, whether you are black or white, or yellow or red, male or female, pretty or plain, none of this matters where faith is concerned.  Did you act in Love and walk in Faith?  The anointing beautifies and changes you from the inside out. And like a bug in the night is drawn to the light, so all of creation is drawn by and to the LIGHT that is inside of you.  That “Light” is CHRIST, and His Glory residing on the inside, begging to be activated and loosed to come to the outside!  You are more valuable than any riches this world can offer.  Your life matters. You matter.  Live like it. And make a difference!
