Deep calleth unto Deep

February 17, 2014

There is a cleansing going on in the lives of my people-for I am calling out to them those who are in prayer and intercession-deep is now calling unto deep. Will my people heed the call? If you press in and seek me in this hour I shall be found and I shall begin to talk to you concerning the things that are so important to understanding my words and my ways. As you read my word this day, says the Lord, you shall understand and see things that you have not seen and understand those things you have not known. Read and embrace so that you may enter into new realms of revelation. In it you will see Me and in it you will see you and I will reveal to you the similarities.

Within these next three days, your eyes will see things you have not seen before and you will see with my understanding as you watch what I reveal to you even today and tomorrow-it is important that you focus and know what is going on around you. For I have given you power to speak to the heavens and to declare these things also upon this earth so that you may know my truth in a greater depth and draw it nigh to your heart. See it, believe it, so that you can see what I am preparing for you in this hour because I hath decreed it and ordained it to be so. Now you will walk in the understanding of it. Stretch out to reach beyond where you have been going to go further, see clearer and recognize that I am showing the way that will direct your path. Some of your decisions will greatly affect the decisions of others concerning their lives.

Know that I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. I am your power source you must stay connected when you are close by me-you are charged and there is no fear in you. But when you are pulled away at the busyness of the day you become weak and unable to do all that I have commanded you to do. So draw near-don't pull back-there is so much for you to know now. I have placed within you my DNA so that you will know what to do, how to do and why it is necessary to do it that way. My ways are essential for you to overcome great obstacles. My way is the walk of the upright and within it are endless possibilities.

Psalm 119:105 "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet And a light to my path.

2 Kings 23:3 "The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant."

When the King entered into covenant--the people followed.

Watch for suddenlies even upon this week and even shakings--so much is going on at the same time. It is a strong indication of things to come. Something very powerful is afoot. We have entered into the realm of endless possibilities, even revival fire.

A Fresh Encounter is About to Come for you!

A Fresh Encounter is About to Come for you!

ISA 51:14 The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread.

I just want to encourage you today that no matter how long you have been suffering and enduring that God is about to show up for you in a huge way, and everything will be made new for you. Try to remember back to a time when God was really moving and speaking in your life, and just how exciting and joyful it was. Well, this time that is about to start for you is going to make everything pale in comparison to it. Your sickness will be gone, you will have more than enough to live on and give to others, and the favor of God will go before you wherever you go. Best of all, God’s presence and power will rest upon you and flow through you to touch everyone around you. It will happen soon, so expect it! Restoration and healing will come at full strength now, and every day will seem like Christmas for you. God has planned this for you from the very beginning long ago.

PS 68:9 You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance.

God is not just going to revive you, He is going to renew and rejuvenate you in every way so that you can not only be happy and full of joy once again, but so that you can go out into this harvest with the message of the gospel and the power of God to heal and deliver so that multitudes will be saved. Every day will have a miracle and a salvation in it. You will be joined to other believers who have finally left their wilderness just like you, and who you can trust and walk and work with without fear. So stop your weeping and moping around already; the Lord has not left you and He will not fail you! Repent of all sin, forgive everyone whether they deserve it or not; and seek the Lord afresh, just wanting to spend time with Him. So get ready dear one, a fresh encounter with the King is about to come for you, and it will be like nothing you have ever experienced before!

ISA 64:3 For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you. 4 Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

Not Without Purpose

Not Without Purpose

All that you are going through is not without purpose.  The pain and suffering has a far more eternal weight of glory.  Sickness is never easy.  It can be very lonely when others have not walked in your shoes and do not seem to understand.  There is always that voice that says, you should be healed.  There is healing in the name of Jesus and the Lord does want to heal us from sickness and disease for it is not from the Lord.  Yet, God does allow it.  God does use it for His purposes and what the enemy means for evil the Lord turns for good in our lifetime.  Truly it would be wonderful if all were healed.

One thinks of Joni Eareckson and her courageous battle over many years and the awesome testimony of the power of God in her life.  She is an example to so very many.  There are stages we go through when dealing with chronic illness and sometimes we have to just keep believing that God is God and that His purposes are higher than ours and at the same time, never give up hope of total healing in His way and timing. 

There are days when it seems dark, especially when one is going through suffering in the winter months.  The only sun that is shining can be in our hearts and His name is Jesus.  For those living in the northern hemisphere life can at times be so very difficult.  The snow, freezing cold temperatures and lack of sunshine are at times hard to bear.  Plainly many of us live here but are spring and summer people at heart.

 Remember each day brings us one day closer to spring and summer when the sun will shine a lot longer and there will be heat and warmth again.  In the meantime let us remember that even in the winter months Jesus is here working in your heart and life and He has not forgotten where you are living.  Take this time to seek Him in a greater way and remember that He, Jesus is the sunshine in your life.  Take time to pray, for God hears even those simple little prayers and they do go up before the throne of heaven and reach His ears.

 Plainly God is saying, my child do not give up for I hear you and know your heart.  I have seen the disappointments of life and you must go forward knowing you are mine.  Keep trusting in me child and see even in the deep of winter that my heart has not taken my eye from you.  Trust that you are mine and hold on even in the storms of life.  I am the anchor of your soul..  I am your rock and your salvation.  Hold on to me even in the dark night hours when lack of sleep due to pain seems unbearable.  Lean on Me and allow me to hold you in My arms.  You are mine and I will never forsake or leave you.

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.  Genesis 8:22

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dies at 85

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon dies at 85
January 11, 2014FoxNews.com

Former Israeli prime minister and storied general Ariel Sharon, who was at the height of his power when he suffered a stroke in 2006 and fell into an irreversible coma, died Saturday at the age of 85.

Sharon died at Tel Hashomer hospital just outside Tel Aviv, where his family had gathered at his bedside over the past several days as his vital organs reportedly deteriorated. His death was first reported by Israeli Army radio.

Visiting U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry addressed Sharon’s condition ahead of a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday.

  "My thoughts are with the Sharon family as they sit in vigil with the former prime minister of Israel, Arik Sharon," Kerry said, referring to Sharon by his nickname. "We remember his contributions, sacrifices he made to ensure the survival and the well-being of Israel, and I have many personal thoughts about my meetings with him on many different occasions -- always robust and strong and clear about his positions."

Sharon, an iconic figure who fought in three wars before entering politics, was elected prime minister in 2001. He suffered a stroke in January 2006, at the height of his political power, and remained comatose since then.

However, in 2011 his son Gilad told the New York Times his father could move his fingers when he asked him to, adding, "I am sure he hears me."

In the months leading up to his stroke, longtime hardliner Sharon had shocked his political base by expelling Jewish settlers from 21 Gaza settlements and from four on the West Bank

He also resigned as head of the Likud party and formed a new centrist party called Kadima ("Forward").

Sharon's longtime rival and current prime minister, Netanyahu, was elected his replacement as head of Likud.

Sharon suffered a mild stroke in December 2005 and was released from the hospital after two days. A little more than two weeks later he suffered a massive intra cerebral hemorrhage from which he never recovered.

Sharon's deputy, Ehud Olmert, was elected prime minister two months later.

Sharon was born February 26, 1928 in the then British Mandate of Palestine to a family of Lithuanian Jews. By the age of 10 he had entered the Zionist youth movement Hassadeh and later the Haganah, the military precursor to the Israel Defense Forces.

His military career flourished as he became a commander in the Israeli army, celebrated as a military strategist.

He was an instrumental figure in the 1956 Suez War, the Six Day War of 1967, the Yom Kippur War of 1973 and as Minister of Defense directed the 1982 Lebanon War.


Sharon joined the Likud party after retiring from the military, serving in a number of ministerial posts and then as party leader in 2000 before becoming prime minister from 2001-2006.

Widowed twice, he is survived by his sons Gilad and Omri.

Continue to Trust in Jesus

Continue to Trust in Jesus

It is only as you put on the mind of Christ that you will understand that which is taking place daily in the earth.  Do not look on the outward appearance but always come back to me, your Father in Heaven and reason with me.  Many of you are extremely distressed with the times you are living in.  Many have come to the point where they feel that they cannot go on and do not know where to turn next.  Have I changed?  Am I not your Lord and provider?  Am I not the God that heals you?  Am I not the God that puts your food on the table?  Do not look at the outward appearance for man does this but look upon My heart.  See through My eyes.  Hear with My ears and glean that which I am saying first to you and then to the church. 

 The times ahead will not be easy.  Those days are over but know that I am with you.  I will never forsake or leave you.  Do not despair for there is an open door to enter in and fellowship with Me.  I am longing for those precious ones that are moving to and fro in stresses of daily life to stop and turn to me.  Sit with Me for times of refreshing.  Sit with Me and hear from Me and learn that I am your Father. 

 Though the storm hit, I am there as I was with My disciples in the boat.  I did not run off and leave them but stood by them allowing them to grow spiritually and then see the wonder of a miracle.  Keep calling on Me, keep calling on My name.  If all you can do is say, Jesus help me, Jesus guide Me, know that I hear the most simple prayer.  I am not a Father that is without understanding but know My love. 

Beloved, you are struggling, many of mine are struggling financially and in many other ways and many have gone home.  Do not look at death through natural eyes but see through the eyes of my spirit.  Death for the child of God is better than ones birth.  I do all things well so do not allow the enemy to tell you otherwise.  I give and I take away, blessed be the name of the Lord.  I am Alpha and Omega and will have the last say.  

Though that anti Christ spirit has raised its ugly head and is manifesting, I am stronger much stronger.  These things must first come to pass.  Do that which you need to do.  Care for your household and for those that are in your sphere of influence.  My yolk is easy and  burden is light.  Again, I will never forsake or leave you even during the most difficult of times I am standing with you.  Keep praying and interceding for the needs of your household and extended family and do not give up for I hear and answer prayer.  Be of good courage and I will strengthen your heart.  Rejoice in the Lord and again I say rejoice for I am in the midst of My people.

²² Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. ²³ After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, ²⁴ and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
²⁵ Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. ²⁶ When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
²⁷ But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
²⁸ “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
²⁹ “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
³¹ Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
³² And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. ³³ Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matt. 14:22-33 (NIV)
