Got a call from a customer yesterday, needing some assistance. As I was verifying their account they gave me their address. You will never guess where they lived. On Golden Square! I know you are thinking, so what? Tune your ears, to hear. As they gave me the address, my spirit man just went bonkers inside. I was thinking "The Wizard of Oz again!" And Heaven!
Are you living on Golden Square? Are you living within the anointing of His Call and giftings in and on your life? Have you found "your company?" Or do you feel you've been relegated to a "tent city" and are an outcast? Beloved, we are Ambassadors for Christ! Emissaries from a Heavenly Realm that is paved in gold! Remember Canaan land? Flowing with milk and honey? Everything in the natural is but a type and shadow- a glimpse of the other world that co-exists with us.
We are here, but this is not REALLY home! But just like when an Ambassador goes to a foreign land, the country (or Kingdom) that he/she is from provides for him and creates a haven for them to dwell in, in the midst of perhaps hostile lands. When we keep with our company and we flow in our giftings and we make a place for the Holy Spirit to live and a place for the Presence of God to DWELL with us, then we have a bit of HOME, a bit of Heaven on Earth.
And regardless of whether people like us or don't like us. Whether they accept us or reject us. Whether they appear to acknowledge our words or rebel. Regardless of ALL these things. Faithful is HE who called us and HE makes us more than conquerors through Christ. And if we have set our affections above, and we focus and worship the ONE who holds the keys to death and hell, and our very lives, then we have created a place that we can call home. And where others can come and be sheltered and nurtured and launched. Selah.

No Place like Home Part 1
My Spiritual Dad preached on dumpster diving one Sunday. He talked of how God has prepared a magnificent meal for us and has the table all set and waiting for us. He has fixed Filet Mignon, fresh salad and hot bread. But we choose instead to go scavenging in the garbage can, looking for "something good" to eat.
God puts people in our path for our edification and growth, but we go off seeking somewhere and someone to connect with, because they don't stroke us just he right way. We fail to recognize the gift that God has bestowed on us, because it isn't wrapped how we thought it should be. Jesus came special delivery, but was rejected by His own, because He was wrapped in the guise of a servant, born in a manger and reached out to the rejects of the day!
In the movie the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy decides to run away from home because of some unhappy things that happened. During her departure a terrible storm arises and her very house is lifted off of it's foundations with her in it, and carried to a mystical land far away. Though filled with wonderful sights to see, she now must try to find here way home and deal with the wicked witch who wants her dead. If you know the story line, she finds her self repeating over and over, there is no place like home, there is no place like home...
There IS no place like Home! The place of love, nurturing, welcome, training, correction and launching.
Psa 68:6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
Solitary= lonely, those alone and without anyone to help them. Rebellious= those who turn away, are stubborn, withdraw and backslide.
Act 4:23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
1Ch 12:33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.
I am calling you into position. I have placed you strategically for this end time battle, but you MUST keep rank! You must walk, not after your own understanding, but keep cadence with My heart and step in time with the tune of My Spirit. I am marking you, you are Mine. Together we are a terrible and fierce team! Keep your eyes on Me and I will direct you. Put on your battle vestures and listen for the battle cry. It is sounding in your spirit even now as deep calling unto deep.
