Prophet Of God You Are Taking Territory!

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
PROPHET OF GOD YOU ARE TAKING TERRITORY!


The Lord says He sees your loneliness, and knows all that is taking place in the everyday life of the prophet. He sees it all and comprehends all that you are going through. The life of the prophet is not an easy life and so do not expect that you will sail through each day without trials and tribulations. Just know that I am with you as you press into Me each day and take territory for the Kingdom of God. You take territory for Me from the moment you lift your head off your pillow and call out to Me until the last moment you lay down your head. I do not condemn but the enemy is walking around like a roaring lion seeking to condemn those that walk in the office of the prophet as well as all others in the body of Christ.

He is having his last temper tantrum and would try and defeat as many as possible with his antics but know that he was defeated and will not defeat you. That said you only stand against him prophet of God, in the power of your Lord. You only stand against him in the power of My Spirit. Why do you think he so hates speaking in other tongues? He knows this is the power of God and he cannot stand it so pray in the Spirit and pray with the understanding also. Pray, Pray, Pray and seek My face. Do not be discouraged but stand and having done all stand. Defeat him by walking a repent walk daily and having the garment of praise covering you. Worship Me in Spirit and in truth and put on the banner of love. My love conquers all. My love will defeat him. My love will enable you to stand in the difficult place. Be filled with My Spirit daily and walk in love and the power of God will flow through you, says the Lord.

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. Solomon 2:4

Softly, Tenderly, Jesus Is Calling You!






Lay aside all fears today and contend for the faith. This is the time to contend and not get knocked down. Stand up in the power of My Spirit and fight with the weapons I have given you. They are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds! Use them wisely with my wisdom and you will cut through all that the enemy has done. You will see through him with the discerning of spirits and nothing will be hidden from you. Contend watchmen, contend for the faith. This faith was given to your forefathers and was given to you, as Timothy had a mother and grandmother who served me many of you have been third or forth generation of believers and it is time for you who have been raised in the faith not to rest on the work s of your forefathers. It is time to arise and do My Works. It is time to arise and serve me for you were dedicated to Me and My eye is on you. Come back to Me those of you who have backslidden and I will give you light. Come to Me you who are downcast and weary. Come to Me those of you who are heavy laden with the cares of this world and I will restore you to wholeness. This restoration takes place at my feet. Come aside with Me and let Me love and restore you. Let Me heal your broken heart. Let Me wipe off your wounds as was done by the Samaritan man and let Me take you and set you as one of the bright shining ones in My kingdom that will be used to take out the works of darkness. You know that you were called so come back to Me, says the Lord and do not rest in the works of those in My church that have gone before you. Arise and shine and be the light I have called you to be. Arise and shine for I Jesus am calling you to repentance and then you will shine for Me.



28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

Prophets Of God, Love One Another!

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Prophets of God, Love One Another!

Something came to my attention today that deeply saddened me. There was one that had gone and done ministry and shared their testimony. Their work if done with the right motive was good before the Lord but that is where they left off. They then started to write and condemn others who had not gone. We need to do whatever we do with love. We need to encourage those that have not gone to go and minister. That said, we should never condemn those that have not gone. It is to God that we rise or fall. As a prophet or prophetess of the Lord we are to equip the body of Christ to go and do His work. True equipping is never done under the spirit of condemnation but with the love of Christ.

Then I heard the Lord saying, Prophet of God if you want to win souls be wise. Prophet of God if you want to set an example to the body of Christ use wisdom. You are called, to edify, exhort and comfort and as you have shared with others that are hurting so you must also use that same Spirit to encourage those that are in My body. My body is in need of love, and many are hurting. They need to be built up and encouraged in the faith so that they can go and do likewise. If you have gone and done, praise the Lord but do not become self-righteous in your work that you are doing for Me. Judge righteous judgment. The Lord looks on your brothers and sisters with love and sees their need to walk with a spirit of excellence but there is not no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus. God is calling all of His own to get healed, delivered and set free so that they can ministry to the hurting and the downtrodden but they will do so and be better equipped when they are encouraged to go and do likewise. Take heed prophet of God that you do not put a spirit of condemnation on those that are mine and serve Me. Judge them not for if you judge them harshly you to will also receive the same judgment. Walk in love for in doing so men shall know that you are My disciples.

8Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 1 Peter 3:8

Shine, Glory, Shine!

Prophet Of God Look For My Approval

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

PROPHET OF GOD LOOK FOR MY APPROVAL


Do not look for the approval of man. but look for My approval. I approve of you prophet of God and it is to Me you rise or fall. Rejoice that you are mine prophet of God. Rejoice that you are mine and do not be subject to the need of approval. Nothing will kill the prophetic anointing more quickly than needing the approval of man. In this life you will have My approval but more often than not you will not have the approval men. Beware when all men speak good of you for they rejected me and they will reject you also. I was despised and rejected of men and so you too will be rejected. My Word in your mouth is a sharp word that will become sharper as it comes to maturity. It will be sharp but it will be spoken in love. The truth if hard to be handled by most. The truth is hard to be handled by My own so how do you expect those that are not mine to accept you prophet of God. Arise and be exceedingly glad that I have chose you a foolish thing in this world to speak the Word of God. You have been chosen by me to speak the Word of the Lord. You have been chosen by Me to speak a word in season to those that are weary. You have been called to at times speak a word of correction in love to those that are my own. I will give you wisdom on how to speak these words for they are not easy but by my spirit I will make it a palatable word to my people.

Trust me prophet of God and do not be ensnared with becoming too close to any so that you cannot speak my word without fear of man. Prophet often you will stand alone with Me and My Word that is in your mouth. It will speak volumes. It will speak loud and it will speak clearly and have the sound of the Lord coming forth. Rejoice in Me prophet of God for your best fellowship will always be with me and not those that are in My house. Prophet of God this is a hard word but you will always find fellowship with Me more satisfying than the fellowship of men. Press in and allow Me to satisfy your loneliness, let Me comfort you and wrap My loving arms around you. The angel of the Lord encamps around you prophet of God so fear not but trust Me for I am raising you up as one that will speak a powerful Word from Me to My people. Trust Me prophet of God and again surrender all that you are or ever will be to Me for I am changing you from glory to glory and you are Mine, says the Lord.

LET US REMEMBER



Today in Canada it is Remembrance Day and Veterans Day in the US. We remember those that have fought in battles and lost their lives paying the price for our freedom. I also remembered my Dad a WW2 vet. He was a wonderful man of God who went to be with Jesus almost three years ago. These men and women paid the price for our freedom.

Then the Lord reminded me that He went to war for us and paid the price in full for our freedom. He died on the cross for your sin and mine that we might walk in true freedom and live an abundant life. The price for your freedom is paid for, in full. Let us remember what Jesus did on the cross for our sins and walk worthy of the price He paid. We are told to remember the Lord's death till He comes.



24And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 1 Corinthians 11:25

DESTINIES ARE ABOUT TO BE FULFILLED!



This is a year of coming forth into what I have for you. Destinies are going to start to be fulfilled this year and it will be a year of great expectation in the body of Christ. In the past you have not expected much from Me but this year there will be a turning toward Me. Your circumstances will propel you into your destiny. Call on Me with your whole heart and I will answer you! Now it is time to press into Me and do not stop! Do not be deterred but allow those things that formerly hindered you to instead move you forward. Use them as stepping stones to your destiny. I am moving in your life and that which seems like a road block will be removed and you will come to a new level. Believe My Word and fill yourself with it in this new season. Feed on it for your life in the Spirit depends on it for food. Without this sustenance you will not be able to go forward for you must continue to rightly divide the Word of truth. My Word is life. My Word is Jesus. I am the only one that can satisfy the longing of your soul. Those times that you were thirsty beloved you needed to come running to me to drink. Now is the time to run into My arms and trust that which I am doing in your life.

Trust Me beloved for I am working and what seems to be happening under the cover of darkness in your area will turn to good for the light of the gospel of the Kingdom. Believe me, continue to pray and intercede for situations as I bring them before you, knowing full well that I will make all things right in my time. My timing is perfect and I am not in a hurry but working continually on your behalf to bring all things into Divine alignment. Pray for Divine alignment of those around you and pray also that all you do will line up with My Word. Indeed all will line up with My Word before the end comes. It is now time to fight the battle and it is an unseen war but know that I paid the full price for the victory at Calvary. The price has been paid for in full for your victory and the victory in the lives, of those that are around you. Believe Me for I am indeed moving to bring your destiny to pass, says the Lord.

Divine Synergy

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

DIVINE SYNERGY


This morning before my eyes were opened the Lord spoke two words to me, Divine Synergy was what my Spirit heard. The Lord is saying that there needs to be Divine synergy in the body of Christ to get the job done. No longer can man work alone but the body of Christ needs to come together. Much more will be accomplished in a shorter period of time. One can put a thousand to flight and two can put ten thousand to flight. Differences need to be put aside. My body needs to walk in the truth of my word and religious barriers need to be broken in Jesus name. The Lord is seeing His body and it is a fragmented body. God is saying no longer, no longer it is time for the body of Christ to die to self and come together as one. This cannot happen unless each member of the body is willing to daily take up their cross and follow Me. For too long man has followed man. Man has followed those in the body for who they are rather than following Me for who I am. Take up your cross and follow me.

One of you is an arm and one is a leg and another an eye and all parts are needed for the work to get done. You must fulfill the Divine calling in your life and move into the place I have called you walk for you will never be happy trying to fulfill the walk of another. Come into line with My Word. Hear My voice and do that which I have called you to do. Put aside the religious for did I not say that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Sadducees and Pharisees that you would not enter the Kingdom of God. All is in divine order in heaven and you must call all into Divine order and see Divine synergy in the kingdom of God. There will come the day that My body will work together. It will come at a price but those that love Me will be willing to pay the price. Are you willing to pay the price? What price are you willing to pay to see My Kingdom come and My will be done? What price are you willing to pay to see a soul saved and spared a life without Me in Eternity. Be willing to pay the price for what does it profit you if you gain the whole world and lose your soul. There are those that do much in My name and yet the day will come when I will say depart from Me you that work iniquity, for what you have done in My name was not done in love and right motive. Indeed I search the hearts. Let Me search your heart in all that you do and all that is said for in the end only that which is built on the rock which is Christ will stand. Man will fall on the rock or the rock will fall on man.

I am bringing down the man made systems. Man made religious structures are being brought down and only that which is being built for My Kingdom will stand. Build the Kingdom of God. Build for My purposes and allow Me to crumble ALL that is not of Me. My church looks for resurrection power and it will come at the price of the cross. Our of dying daily that resurrection power will begin to flow at an increasing rate. The dead in Christ will be raised and healing will take place as My church is willing to die to all that is of this world. Take up your cross church and follow Me. Let Divine synergy take place in My body, seek truth and My righteousness and let holiness be your standard and all else will fit into place. This is a new season and no longer will you function as you did in the other seasons. Find out where you are right now by spending time at My feet. Hear My voice and the plans I have for you says the Lord. They are good and will bring life and healing. Too many of mine are busy about Me but now walking in Divine synergy with Me and with the body of Christ. Come together My beloved, come together, come together for I am calling My bride to come together for My purposes are greater and must be fulfilled. This will be a Divine action of My Spirit and will bring about the one new man, says the Lord.



13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4:13-16

We are living in the best and the worst of times. Jesus said that a mans enemies would be those of His own household. Perhaps you are one that is living in this situation. Jesus spoke about it and forewarned us that this would happen. We are told to take up our cross and follow Him. It seems that the division is becoming greater and greater and that we have nothing in common with those that are of this world. Be of good courage today for the Lord is going to strengthen your heart. As I looked out into the sky and saw the dark clouds, the sun shone brightly through. Your light is shining and the Lord is saying stand firm. You have taken on My name and it is because of Me that your are being persecuted for righteousness. Stand strong, be still and allow Me to fight for you. I am mighty in battle and am working on your behalf. The light shone in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not. Unless the Spirit of God draw a man He cannot come so pray that those that are opposing you are drawn by My Spirit. Else the Spirit of God draws a man He cannot come to Me. Be of good cheer for I overcame the world and you too will overcome.

Honed Sharp For His Purposes

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS




We are living in an unprecedented time in the body of Christ. Amid the wars and rumors of wars that Jesus spoke of we are the hearing words of false prophets and we need to discern between the genuine prophetic word and the counterfeit. Those false prophetic words seem so very real at the time unless we are hearing from the Lord through the discerning of spirits. This gift protects us from deception. We are living in the last days. and need our senses exercised to discern between good and evil. The more we operate in this gift the more it will be honed sharp in our lives. The counterfeit and the true prophetic word can seem real especially when it is a word concerning some future event. So...what do we do? Do we throw the baby out with the bathwater.

There is the genuine prophetic word. Let us go back to the Word of God and see what we are told. We are told that in the last days there would be false prophets. We are also told that they would appear genuine so that if possible even the elect could be fooled. The elect is you and me. Yes, we need to guard against being fooled. We need to take a Word and if we have even a small sense of being unsure about its validity then put it on the back burner and wait. In the multitude of counselors there is safety. We need to hear the Lord on our own and corporately in the body of Christ. God is never in a hurry and usually when we are in a hurry we miss it. Yes, we are all learning daily and this is a learning process. The sad part is the worry and fear that false prophetic words cause to the body of Christ. It is being used to cause doubt and fear and then the genuine word from the Lord is doubted. We can become desensitized. Brothers and sisters there is the genuine prophetic word! We are told not to judge the person giving the Word but are to judge every prophetic word. We need to be vigilant because the enemy is walking about seeking whom he may devour. Take time with the Father so that we might discern between the two. I would venture to say that we all need more time at the feet of the Father so that we might hear from Him more clearly. Let us press into Him and put aside all that is distracting us from hearing more clearly. Let us hear Him. Sometimes we need to stop reading all that is out there for a season and hear Him. Let us pray that the Lord sharpen the discerning of spirits in us today.




4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.



24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:4-24

Choose Freedom Today!

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS



It is good to take a look at ourselves and search our hearts. Hebrews talks of the sin that so easily gets in our way and we need to be on our guard against it. We need to remove these things from our lives and can only do so by the grace of God. That said, some effort on our part needs to take place so that there is life changing behavior and a hundred and eighty degree turn, away from sin. What is the sin that so easily besets you? Identify it? Come to a decision to eradicate it from your life! You can only do this by letting the cross do it's work. You need to take up your cross and follow Him. Paul said, "I die daily" and you too need to die daily to sin in your life. Come closer to Jesus today, cry out to Him and He will help you find freedom from the sin that has ensnared you. Choose life today and find victory in the name of Jesus over all power of the enemy. He alone will give you grace to help in time of need. Come now to Him and bring it to the foot of the cross and allow the blood of Jesus to be applied to your life. It washes whiter than snow and will cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Be set free today and walk in victory for He paid the price in full for your freedom.

1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

4Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

5And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

6For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.Hebrews 12:1-6
