AMOS, WHAT DO YOU SEE?

7/16/2020

Picture
 I keep seeing
in my mind
a Highway to Heaven
bridging the Great Divide.

Snapped from his chalk line
a canyon was made;
splitting the sands
of Life from the Grave.

"Amos, what do you see?"
A plumb line set
by God Almighty.

He is ready
to end crookedness,
by setting the cornerstone
of precious Jesus 

His justice
is the measuring line,
it's perfectly administered 
by His divine;
and the plumb line,
so perfectly hung-
a vertical representation 
of purity
and righteousness.
(Isaiah 28:17)
 
From every nation,
and every race -
a banner will raise;
from every tribe,
and every tongue -
the songs of the Faithful
will be sung.
(Revelation 7:9)

This is what is set to happen
and soon as He says,
“It is time to put an end
to this horrible baptism.”
(Luke 12:49-50)

The Lion of Judah
is ready to go,
as soon as the Father 
gives his say so.

Can you hear his ferocious roar?
Can you feel the heat in the belly of the core?
Do you feel magnetic movement?
Can you sense radiation - caused by humans? 
Can you feel the tremors of the shifting sands?
Do you see division spreading through the land? 

What?
Wait a minute?
Did you just say...
Jesus is dividing the people
while he allows this display?

How can this be?
Jesus is my Redeemer,
the one who has set me free!
How can you say
he causes a division of humanity?
I do not need to listen to this blasphemy!
This can not be!
It does not line up to my prosperity theology!
Jesus came to love, and to forgive,
unity is the gift that he gives.  
He did not come to bring division!
He came to bring peace into the land. 
Stop talking to me about dying to self!
He is my Living Water and he fills "my" well!
Suffering
is for those who have no faith.
Suffering
is not a part of his goodness or grace!
You are leaving me with such distaste! 
It is you who brings him disgrace,
why do you lack so much faith?
I stand on his name,
and he gives me abundant fame.
He provides immeasurably more,
than I could ever ask for.
He knows just what I need.
He would never allow me to fall,
or to bleed.
I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me. 
I stand on his rock,
 and I have the victory!
Jesus, he is my King - 
and I am his Queen.
Look at me,
there is nothing bad inside of me!
When I speak to the demons
they must flee.
I have been given all authority,
and I create my own destiny!
Don't you know, 
Jesus resides in all of us,
at least the ones who are morally good!
So stop talking to me about suffering!
There is no dis-ease that can touch me.
The truth is God loves all of us,
and he understands 
we are victims to our lust.
He gives us permission to live in our sin,
as long as we show grace to our fellow man.
For God sake, he knows we are only human. 
Health and wealth -
it is the promise he made to me 
when he died for my sin
and gave me the victory!
If I fast and pray,
I will get good results!
Yes, here on this earth,
I am guaranteed prosperity and wealth.
If you are struggling with burden and disease,
then you must not have enough faith in him.
Just pray harder, he will answer your prayers.
He wants to rid you of all your cares.
Everything goes - it's all okay.
Old Testament expectations 
are not meant for today.
Live as you please,
we get to be our own kings;
his grace is sufficient
to supply all your needs.
Boundaries?
HA!
that's an illusion of sin!
He does not set apart anyone for him.
This is the 21st century,
and we are defined
by our independent beliefs.
You can think whatever you want,
and flesh desires are johnny on the spot! 
There is no dividing line,
because righteousness 
can not be defined.
"In God we Trust" -
that's just a saying, 
a thing from the past!
God gave us free minds
so that we could define
the thoughts that would rule
for this culture, and this time. 
He even gives us the secret to get rich -
it's by understanding
 the Law of Attraction.
When you focus on your blessings,
God becomes extremely pleased!
He will let you create your own reality!
Just pay attention to what you desire,
and be intentional and totally inspired!
Your dreams will come true,
if you focus in on them.
Take it slow,
and you will succeed.
Positive affirmations -
that is all that you need,
you can determine your destiny!
Do you not see? 
God gave you the ability
to create your own thought trees.
And when you see,
a toxic weed,
pluck it out!
You have the authority! 
Use all your might!
You can uproot that tree,
that gets in the way
of creating your identity!
You are the author,
do you not see?
You get to determine
your earthly destiny!

These are the words
that tickle the ears,
of carnal Christians
who are not YET spiritually mature.
They have not attuned their ears to hear,
because many are led by false teachers.  
Spiritual blessing, mixed with materialism,
leads people coming to God 
for what he can do for them.
Some will say, you can not get sick 
if you believe Jesus died for your sin.
Illness and poverty, is not meant for you;
It is true!  He has made you brand new. 
Give me your money and God will bless you;
Now it is time for you, to bless me.
Believe in me,
God will compensate by blessing your needs.
You do not have to wait for Heaven,
you can have it all now -
just call out the command. 
If your faith is strong,
you will not long
Keep on praying,
your blessing is on it's way!

Father God,
help us to see -
give us spiritual eyes,
so that we are no longer deceived!
We under the illusion
of Prosperity Theology.
Discernment -
it is not a gift
that I take lightly.
It gives me the ability
 to untangle the truth from deceit.
I lack in so many things!
It is only through your Spirit
that I can face this demon.
Help me to walk through these weeds,
they grow up so quickly,
and constantly trip me. 
Help me to love, 
through this swamp of deceit.
So many are students
of this philosophy.
It's embedded in American education,
and theology,
it's the perspective that stems from
the American dream.
We must scrub this mark of the beast,
before it permanently effects our humanity.

Let your words flow from my mouth,
as an antiseptic that brings spiritual health. 

This is what the Lord says
to those that he loves,
“Are you ready to listen, and digest the truth?”
“Are you ready to receive my Spirit, to experience new birth?”
“Do you want to know who I am?”
“Do you want to walk on the Highway to Heaven?”
“Are you willing to suffer for me,
patiently enduring the temporary dis-ease?”
“Will you put your faith on the line?”
“Will you trust me through the great divide?”
"Are you ready to bring glory to me, 
by overcoming the accuser through your testimony?”
“Are you ready stand firm against our enemy?”
“Do you speak my name, in public, for all to hear?"
“Do you open your heart so that I can make you pure?"
"What if MY truth is not what YOU thought?”
“Will you put down your ways, and think as you ought?”

This is what I ask of you, 
"Follow me in Spirit and in Truth."
Seek my face,
and believe who I am.
Stop listening to preachers 
who make false accusations.
Come, walk with Me,
seek my wisdom and my truth.
Listen to my words,
they come straight from my mouth,
 “I have come to bring fire on the earth,
and how I wish it were already burning.
But I have a baptism to undergo,
and what constraint I am under until it is done.
Do you think I came to bring peace on earth?
No, I tell you, but division.
From now on there will be five in one family
divided against each other,
three against two and two against three.
They will be divided, father against son
and son against father,
mother against daughter and daughter against mother,
mother-in-law against daughter-in-law
and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
(Luke 12:49-53)

I have snapped the chalk line,
and it will divide.
The faithful are prepared
to give me their heart,
and their mind.
To a mere human -
it is hard to understand.
This is why Holy Spirit 
must guide your decisions.
I know...
it does not make sense, 
and it will difficult to wash away
all the false pretense.
Your version of love
is founded on humanism.
You believe that man is inherently good.
You think man is the center of the earth,
believing that righteousness 
stems from your own worth.
Whether through religion,
or secular humanism -
in your limited intellectualism,
you believe that morality
is the key to my Kingdom.
  But this is not true,
and if you read my Word
you would know.
There is only one key
that opens my door!
He is the Lamb -
the pure sacrifice.
The only way into Heaven
is through my son,
Jesus Christ.
I know...
it it must be hard to believe
that when I look at you,
all I see is dirty clothing.
Your hearts are evil,
through and through. 
There is absolutely nothing,
good inside of you.
Yes,
I made you in my image,
but then you rebelled,
you committed adultery
by idolizing yourself.
PRIDE!
This is what caused our divide.
How can we be together,
when impurity fills your head?
Your heart and your mind,
became filled with disease,
the moment you chose to disobey me.
But -
I love you!
More than you know!
This is why I sent my son,
to endure the suffering,
and be completely exposed.
Through humility, he died for you.
He took on your sin, and all iniquities.
With each stripe, he bore on his back
he shed his blood, and finished it with his breath.
Jesus!
That's right!
Say his name!
Speak it out load, so everyone can hear!
My Son came, to set you free.
It is only through his purity
that you can receive
a righteous covering.
Because I love you,
I gave you a way to be saved.
This is why I give you time,
to testify to his name.
My grace extends,
over and over again,
each and every day.  
I patiently wait for your hearts to change.
But the time is near,
when everyone will hear,
and yet, some will run away in fear.
They will not believe
because they have hearts of stone,
just like Pharoah, until I took his first-born.
And even then, it was just for a moment 
his heart of flesh
quickly turned back into a heart of stone.
There are many, who are just like him.
They refuse to accept, and refuse to listen.
But do not worry about them,
share my news with everyone.
Each is accountable for their own choice.
The ones who are willing, will listen to my voice.

“The Way of Holiness;
it has been made.
The unclean shall not pass over it.
It shall belong to those
who walk on the way;
even if they are fools,
they shall not go astray.”
(Isaiah 35:8)

Remind my people of this -
You must remember who I am!
You must seek my face,
and worship me in this place.
I gave you a Book
that must NOT be overlooked.
Pick it up, and come to know it!
Some will say, "It was made by men," 
they will stay in darkness until they decide to change. 
But those who know who I am
have been given the wisdom to understand.
My Word is inspired, it always has been.
My Spirit is alive.  He is not dead. 
People pull out the verses, that line up with their beliefs,
they change the gospel, then stand on it.
Their pride is heavy, and their arrogance is great!
Their lack of faith is what puts human lives at stake. 
They think they have wisdom, to rule like a king,
they twist the truth through rationalism.
But do not worry.
My messengers are awake,
they will deliver my message
to ALL who will partake.
The harvest is ripe
and it’s ready to be picked,
what will you do when you see
my measuring stick?
Will you be quick to accept and digest,
or will you stop to question, and second-guess?
Who is ready to shake off complacency?
Who is ready to trust and believe?
I am speaking. 
​Will you listen to me?

LOVE one another

United in Sin;
Divided in Unity;
We live in the Homeland
of Insecurity.

If we believed
in God’s Sovereignty;
the Church would be filled
with transcendent peace.

Instead we have fear
and anxiety,
filling the gaps
of our humanity.

Please,
listen to me.

What is it that you need?

Abundant faith
for the Lord’s grace;
or incessant demands
to build up man’s case?

For God sake!
How are you made?
Full of love,
or infectious hate,
with a sprinkle of disgrace?

Just because
someone is different from you
does not give you the right
to point and accuse!

Is your name Satan -
who has been given permission
to stand before God
and draw attention to all your decisions? 

There is NO man
who can point and grin,
because each one of us
is filled with sin.

That’s right!
Up to the rim -
deeply infected,
like an abscess
in the abdomen.

It's an eternal disease 
caused from harboring
the forbidden fruit
in an old wine skin.

This is the sinful
heart of men,
it’s what was made
when we chose to
disobey him.

But when we accept
the blood of Christ,
we are no longer left
to our own device.

We are made new
through a blood transfusion;
we are given a new heart,
a new wine skin.

Clothed in his glory,
we share our testimony - 
through the blood of Christ
we overcome Satan. 

The church is called
to walk in Holy Spirit power,
through an unfailing love -
set apart for this hour.

The breastplate
is an important piece
of our armor.
It’s made from God’s
most divine superpower!

“Since we belong to the day,
let us be sober,
having put on the breastplate
of faith and love"
We were created for this hour.

We put on his helmet -
the hope of salvation;
this is how we petition
and make supplication.

When arrows are thrown
by the enemy,
instead of standing strong
the church has ducked and cowered!

This is not the way we are taught!
Is this the way that we "fear not?"

Where is the love of man?
Where is my light?
Where is my vessel
that is willing to fight?
It's not through control,
or condemnation.
Reconciliation
can only be made
through my love.

This is how
I made you to win;
to be be my light
and my lamp!
In your finite mind,
you think your job
is to be the judge of man!
But how can you?
You, too, are merely human!
Do you not understand?
There’s a difference
between MY conviction
and your condemnation!
You have no right
to stand and to judge,
so get behind me Satan -
I’m tired of you holding a grudge!
Discernment -
this is the gift that I give,
to the hearts
who stand ready to forgive!
They are the ones
who will stand up for me,
they are the ones
I give spiritual eyes to see.
They can identify my enemy,
and they are not afraid
of any demon.
They see behind
this monstrosity,
that works diligently
to separate man from me.
The discerning ones,
find it easy to forgive,
because they know the love
I’ have personally shown to them.
They have faith
with abundant grace,
because they have accepted
their position
that I have placed.
Your faith
is more than you can gain,
It is a gift
I give to the strong!
They are the ones
who will fight for me!
They are the ones
who are willing to bleed.
They speak the sword,
right from their mouth,
they listen to my words,
then speak them out loud.
They are ambassadors
of my love.
They know how to forgive,
with unfailing love.

SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN

7/12/2020

Since Seven is significant
to God's perfection -

Wouldn’t it call into reason
that forgiveness would extend
from seventy times seven!

I mean think about it,
It’s easy to love 
someone who is 
good,
but it's hard to love
someone you hate.

It’s quite proportional,
is it not?

There’s a difference between

being betrayed a little,
or being betrayed a lot!

Seventy times seven
is probably the least amount 
we need to forgive.
Since we are just humans 
who constantly trip over
our own sin. 


But not our God!
He is totally pure.
Free from disease,
and all that is impure!

I remember in 2 Kings,
Verse 5:10,
The prophet Elisha
sent a message to the soldier, Naaman.
He said, “Go and wash yourself
seven times in the Jordan River.
Then your skin will be restored,
and you will be healed again.
At first he refused,
but then he decided to commit 
when his officers
reasoned with him.

“Sir,
if the prophet had told you
to do something very difficult,

wouldn’t you have done it?
So you should certainly obey him
when he simply says,

“Go and wash in the Jordan.”

So Naaman went

down to the river
and dipped himself
seven times,
as the prophet
had instructed him.

And just as for-told,

his skin became healthy again,
in fact it was better -
he resembled a youthful man.”

Seven times seventy,
this is how many times
we are commanded to forgive!
Seventy times seven -
this is what it takes
for us be untangled from them.

In forgiveness
is how we learn to love. 
This is why Jesus tells us
to love as God does.


Can you imagine,
if we had to rely on man
to send pure love
throughout the land?
It would be unattainable
without the sacrifice
of Christ's blood.

In an instant,

when Jesus came
he took ALL our sin
and paid our debt.

Through the suffering
of a cruel death,
we were set free
from our entangled mess.

In deep roots of bitterness,

we become less like him,
and more like us.
This is what
our sin does...
it traps us together
and entangles us.

The more we accuse,
and angrier we get,
the more we 
blame
and get stuck in the web.

Un-forgivineness -
it is the glue

that sticks us together
when we 
won’t let it go.

It justifies
all attributes,

when we lead
from the flesh.


This is why

we must choose,
to yoke ourselves
to the only one who soothes.

Jesus is the only way

to learn how to love,
it was through suffering
that he died and rose above.
  

He rose above
the shame that defied him.
He rose above
the accusations aimed at him.

He rose above 
the arrows of the enemy.
He broke all the chains
that refused to set us free.

Seven times seventy
This is how many times
we are commanded to forgive!
Seventy times seven -
this is what it takes
to stand righteous before him.

MAKING SPIRITUAL SENSE

7/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Is it hard to believe
that God is sensory?
I mean,
he's not a physical being,
is he?

Sensation is a process
where the body takes in
a physical stimulation
of a substantial something.

We have sensory receptors 
and special neurons
that respond
to specific stimulation,
creating potential action. 
We have five main senses
that we all know:
vision and hearing,
taste and touch,
and smell -
which is
the most emotional sense of all.

We also have sensory systems 
that help with body balance and position,
 a temperature sense known as thermoception.
We also have body movement, known as kinesthesia,
and pain receptors that can hurt like hell.

We have an absolute threshold
that is defined
by a minimum stimulus
that can be detected 50% of the time.
 
Our sensitivity can be quite amazing -
like when we can see a candle flame
from 30 miles away.

And under quiet conditions,
our ear can detect -
from 20 miles away, 
the tick of a clock.

A message below the threshold
is said to be subliminal
it's when our body receives it,
but we aren't aware.

How we interpret 
what's been let in,
is what is known
as our perception.

Perception is different
because it entails
that we make sense of the information
that has been inhaled - 
and it affects
how we interact with our world.

Knowledge and experience
gives rise to our thoughts,
this is probably why God says,
"Your ways are not my ways,
and your thoughts are not my thoughts."

In Psalm 115,
this is what is says,
"Our God is in heaven;
    he does whatever pleases him."

But the man who make idols,
from silver and gold -
will never know the mysteries 
our God desires to unfold.

These idols have mouths, 
but cannot speak,
    and eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears, but cannot hear,
    and noses, but cannot smell.
They have hands, but cannot feel,
    and feet, but cannot walk,
    nor can they utter a sound
with their throats.

It's easy to see,
in this imagery,
God reveals
his own sensory mystery.

He is a living, breathing God
whose lungs do not stop.
His heart circulates his blood
with unfailing love.

Do you remember
what God did
when Noah made
his burnt offering,
right after the flood?

God smelled the pleasing aroma,
and then he said,
"I will never again curse
the ground because of man,
for the intention of man's heart
is evil from youth. 
Neither will I 
ever again
strike down every living creature
as I have done.
  
While the earth remains,
seed time and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter, 
day and night,
shall not cease.”
Genesis 8:21-22

This is an example
of how God is built, 
he uses senses and perceptions 
to express his own heart.

This is also what happens 
when his Spirit comes in,
to comfort and guide
the faithful hearts of his men.

He opens our ears,
and widens our eyes
to take in the information
he wants us to see, and to hear.

I mean, for real...
in our own power, 
how would we ever know 
to discern the hour?

It's only through the Spirit
that we can come to know him.
It's only through the Spirit
that we can find true wisdom.
It's only through the Spirit
that we can stay pure -
by listening and following
his promising Word.

With clean hearts,
we become renewed.
This means
he gives us new receptors
to identify the truth.

And as our mind
becomes transformed,
we outgrow these physical forms.
Our spiritual self matures,
until we become fully grown.

“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit
and understand what he is saying to the churches.”

Revelation 3:22

A DEMON CALLED DREAD

7/11/2020

1 Comment

 
Picture
Have you ever seen a demon?
You may think,
Why are you even
asking such a question?

Do they really exist?
This world is so complex.
Is it even possible 
for a person to be hexed?

What if I told you
I've seen at least two?
Wait...that's not true.
I've seen three -
circling around me.

I know...
"She must be crazy!"
That's what you might say!
But let me ask you
in this way.

Who is the Holy Spirit,
to whom that you pray?

Is he a person that you can see,
or is he a life force -
a mysterious entity?

And who is God,
the one to whom you speak,
when your heart is breaking
and your ready to be meek?

Is he somebody you can see,
or is he an unseen being 
in whom you put your faith?

There are moments
when the Lord allows us to see,
a vision
of our spiritual identity.
I'll never forget 
when he put eyes on my back,
to be able to see 
the enemy's attack.
That was quite a crazy feeling,
"What the heck just happened to me?"
I was totally bewildered
by what spiritual eyes could see! 

The visions and dreams
have become my resting place,
they provide the instruction
to show me the way. 
There have been so many
experiences like this.
All I can offer to God
is my unwavering trust.

Back to the demons
that I once saw,
one was reptilian,
and one was a dog.

The eye of the reptile existed to cover the truth,
and the submissive dog was loyal to twisted truth.

But more recently,
I was attacked in my head
by a demon called "Dread."

Dread was worse
than the other two.
He moved so fast - 
I was so confused.
He kept popping
in and out of vision,
I felt like my thoughts 
were in contradiction.
His bone structure
was like that of K'NEX,
He had 360* movement 
from feet to the neck.
His whole body
was defined by crookedness,
and his image shifted
over and over again.
His color changed
with every single move -
exhuming colors of red
and shades of blue.
Heat provided the force -
sudden movement
to dodge the burn.
Within a minute of seeing him,
I started to feel intense confusion. 
Worry and Frustration
took over my head.
Fear and Anxiety
made me feel
like I was hanging on a thread.
The Spirit of Dread
comprised of all of them,
Worry, Anxiety, Fear,
Frustration and Confusion - 
all swirling around in my head.

It was just then
the Lord stepped in -
to remind me of his
overwhelming love.
Do not believe, 
what you now feel -
you know exactly
what is real.
You have my Spirit
inside of you.
There is no reason
to be dazed or confused.
Do not let the enemy 
do this to you.
You have authority
to speak what is true.
My blood covers all of this.
Now it's time to dilute
with unmovable trust.

Now,
take your mind back, 
with my authority.
There is nothing more
that you need.
Take my oil,
and put it on your posts.
It's time to cast out
this demonic ghost. 
Get up,  
and do as I say.
Do not waste
another minute,
or another day.

So I got up, and prayed a bit.
I grabbed an oil and blessed it.
I could not find Frankincense,
so I chose Ceder wood instead.
Ceder wood was used
in the Temple of God,
straight and strong
from the Forest of Lebanon.  
I chose this
to purify my house,
and thanked the Lord
for my light house.
I walked around,
and crossed the doors,
I also put the oil
around the windows.
I cast out the demon,
by coming under Christ's blood.
I spoke right to it, and said, 
"Get out of my home."
And with that,
I went back to sleep.
No longer tormented
by the enemy.

I slept really well
till morning light came in.
I opened my eyes,
and thought,
"Another day has come again."
That is when
I remembered
what I did,
the night before
when casting out him.

"Do not fear.
Do not afraid.   
I am here to guide you,
every step of the way.
Do not get ahead of yourself,
it's too much. 
Remember who I am,
in me is where you put your trust.
Take each day,
one by one.
Do not worry
about the evil one.
Trust and believe,
that I am working in this.
Do not try to get ahead of this.
I will supply your every need.
Now I need you to be brave.  
There is no reason to fight,
or be afraid,
I will make the way.
Fast and pray,
to keep this demon away.
You will need my protection
every step of the way.
Why do you think,
I've opened you to this?
Can you imagine
being controlled
by this demonic presence?
The person you love,
has endured so much -
under the tormenting spirit of dread.
It is time for him to let go,
and learn how to trust.
I have chosen you
for such a time as this.
Everything that is true
and noble will persist.
You are not alone in this.
Stand on my Word,
trust and believe
that I am building
an angelic army.
Don't be afraid,
take courage -
for I am here!
Rest in Me,
for I am near.

THE TIMES

7/10/2020

Picture
This morning I awoke
feeling totally stoked
that I had slept so well.
I got up,
grabbed my coffee cup,
and sat down to write.
Suddenly
I began to frown,
"Why does it seem
like time is running out?"
When I picked up my pen,
I wrote, “It’s July 9th -
so much has happened.”

Covid-19 came on March 19th.
A Global pandemic
and thousands of deaths.
Police brutality -
when an officer
put his knee
into George Floyd’s neck.
Massive protests
for the oppression of blacks.
The Lord is uprooting
trees of bitterness.
So much injustice
needs to come to an end.
It’s time black and whites
to live equally as friends.
But in the midst,
of this social unrest,
an organization
was put to the test.

Black Lives Matters,
a global network,
was called into action
to take on the work.
They are the defenders
of black injustice.
Their passion is grand,
and they demand justice.
On the surface,
most would believe
they represent God's peace
through human equality.

The distressful thing
is they play on words,
“Black Lives Matters”
Is what people heard.
But they are not,
what they seem. 
They wave this banner
incensing further deceit. 
They defy the police,
and abhor all forms
of authority.
They seek to defund police,
and act as if they speak
for the majority. 

Their focus is on black power,
instead of pursuing
equality in honor.
They aim to dismantle
patriarchal practices,
with the slogan
“we are tired of mothers
having to work “double shifts.”
What does they mean
when they exclaim,
“we mother in private,
and participate in public justice work?”
The underlying theme is
all men hurt.
It breaks my heart
that they see it this way,
and it speaks to the impurity
behind their pain.
Humanity has done it again.
They've hurt the ones
that God loves.

In their anger,
BLM seeks to disrupt
 the nuclear family
where there is a mother AND father.
Their focus is on villages
and extended families,
so they don’t have to rely on men
to take care of their needs.
If you don't believe me,
look at their creed,
it's on their website
in their BELIEFS.

They also foster
queer‐affirming peace,
to be free from the tight grip
of hetero-normative thinking.
They make space
for the transgender,
and they support this identity
to be common place.
They are self-reflexive,
and aim to dismantle
cisgender privilege.
Did God really mean
that our gender
matches our sex
at birth?
Is there a male and female
component of self,
are they designed
to fit together
perfectly well?  
Or, are we under a spell?
Questioning God's intent -
oh, it's so overwhelming!

Back to BLM
and for who they stand -
They uplift Black trans folk,
especially Black trans women.
It is true,
there is trans-antagonistic violence -
and we should do
all we can
to end all forms of violence. 
But is this way,
God has taught us?
An eye for an eye,
a lust for a lust?
In whom do we put our trust?

They build a tower
to elevate black power,
but mostly for women,
who’ve been let down by men.

The goal is really
to dismantle man.
It's the oppressed
becoming the oppressor,
all over again.
Instead of trusting
and believing in Gods Word,
these people have taken their hurt
and turned it inside out.

Don’t you a see
Jezebel at work?
This powerful spirit
has been lurking
behind the dark.
She's waited for the perfect time
to throw out her hook.
Without Holy Spirit
to guide and direct,
her mission
actually looks just.
But the truth is
she is feeding off the flesh,
on the deep wounds of
bitterness and lust.
Her sole intention
is to kill and destroy!
Where are the sober-minded
who can see the enemy’s ploy?
She stands back
and mocks and laughs,
at the ungodly
who don’t know how to
defend from the attacks.
She hates man,
and all that he is,
because she knows
he was made 
in God's image.
Her goal is to cause division
through false religion.
She grows her followers
by enticing them with position.
She attacks the very thing
that God made like him.
The body, soul and spirit
of Adam. 
He was made to rule
over all the earth,
to have dominion
over life-giving births.
He was made to care
and love for women,
for she is his kind,
made from his own rib.
But instead of seeking
God's wisdom, 
BLM has decided
to take justice
into their own hands.
They determine
what will stand,
and they will take
any action needed
to control their demands. 
This is the truth
of who BLM is.
It's right on their site -
nothing is hidden.

Like Jezebel,
who casts a spell -
she puts on her makeup
and lies begin to swell.
This harlot in disguise
is so full of lies,
it's hard to discern
the truth from the lies.
She opens her mouth,
and ​begins to dissuade
today’s priests and kings
from following Christ's way.
She hates
with every ounce of her being
all that God loves
she wants to see
stomped in the street.
Her jealousy
gives her the power,
to speak hate in love
for this precise witching hour.
She stands on false religion
and uses her power
to persuade those mistreated
to follow her ways.
She twists the truth,
and throw it down the hatch,
She identifies a wound
then begins to scratch.
She holds onto
victim mentality.
She refuses to accept
any accountability.
She blames God
for everything.
She absolutely refuses
to bend on her knee.
She will NEVER bow down
to our God,
she hates him so much
that she would strike him
with his own rod.
She defies his authority.
She proclaims very loudy,
"I will never submit
to your sovereignty."

Listen to my words...
Her heart is made of stone.
She eats man’s flesh,
and then chews on his bones.
She is evil
through and through.
Her hatred is strong,
and she spits out spew!

But God,
The Lord is raising a might army,
who will defend
Christian rights and liberties.
He is making a Jehu
who is not afraid. 
He will stand up
and fight for the afraid.
He will not run away!
He will enter in,
and confront her face to face!
He will have the anointing
to command
eternal damnation
and banishment.
In the meantime,
the Lord has freed his prophets -
to speak the truth
and send fire down.
Elijah’s are growing
throughput the lands -
their faith don't lack -
they are immeasurably strong!
The Spirit of Ezekiel
is growing as well,
they represent the watchmen
who stand on the wall!
He will make their tongue
stick to the roof of their mouth,
they will speechless
and unable to rebuke the rebels.
But when God is ready,
he will loosen their tongue,
He will demand the people
to listen to what the Sovereign Lord says.
Those who choose to listen,
will listen.
But those who refuse will refuse,
because their are rebels.  
There is a war
going on in the city gates,
the enemy has walked in
with his blind mates.
Your sin is despicable -
it is great!
How dare you kill my babies -
while you sit and masturbate!
Your pride and greed
has grown thicker
than the super wide trunks
of Sequoia trees!
 The trumpet has sounded,
and my prophets are awake.
They will speak what I say,
for their very lives are at stake!
 And know this -
the Issachar Anointing is in effect.
I am enabling men
to understand what will come next.
They will know the times,
and seasons of events.
They will have great influence!
Israel will turn back to me,
as they see the revealing
of my mysteries.
Enemies will come
and fight against them,
but I hold them in my hand.
No one will touch
my beloved one.
They will come to me.
They will trust and believe
the greatest story ever told.
That Jesus is their Messiah,
and he his their Lord.

The Lord has set
a dividing line,
and it is time
for all of humanity
to pick a side.

In whom do you trust?
The sovereign God,
or the desires
​of your own lust?

REFLECTIONS OF ME

7/7/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture

The power of life and death
is expressed through the tongue.
It’s clearly the strongest weapon,
created by the Holy One.

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.

God's thought became speech
and gave birth to meaning.
With a powerful Word
He created his masterpiece.

“Let there be light,”
and it came to be.
It separated the day
from the the night.

In the beginning,
when the the Spirit hovered over the waters,
He spoke a Word to separate Heaven from Earth.

From nothing and everything
at the same time,
God created meaning by drawing a line.

Through His mouth
He spoke out the words,
that gave birth 
to all that we know.

His heart and his mind
became intertwined,
with his Words 
his love came alive.

All that was good,
he did not change.
But when it came to man
he said,
"it was not good to be alone."

"I will make a helper who is just for him,"
and then he created a woman from man's rib.
"At last,"
this is what Adam exclaimed,
"She will be called woman
because she was taken from "man." 

This explains
why a man leaves his father
and is joined to his wife.
The two are united
and become one.
They stood their naked,
perfectly made.
and in their union,
there was no shame.

Instead of division
that implies God's lines,
God made man and woman
from the same kind.

God said, 
"Let us make human beings in our image."
"Let them be like us and have dominion."

God blessed them and said, 
"Be fruitful and multiply."
"Fill the earth and govern it."
"Reign over the fish in the sea,
and reign over the birds
and the animals on the ground."
"Eat every seed-bearing plant
throughout the earth,
and all the fruit trees for your food."
"Everything that has life,
I give to you."

Then he stamped it,
"Made just for you."

When God calls into being, 
He takes his time to inspect everything.
When he declares it is good,
he then moves on ahead -
this is how meticulous 
our God is.

He examines everything 
that his hand makes.
If it’s not done,
then he puts it back in the oven
to bake.

He is the potter
and we are the clay.
He examines our hearts
to know if we are real or fake.
If we aren't done,
then he turns up the heat.
He refines each heart
to endure the stake.
And when the heart is ready,
He inspects it again,
"Will this person's faith endure Satan's plan?"

He judges.
Does your heart
contain his love?
How do you respond
when you are shoved?
Do you possess jealousy?
Do you rely on him
to supply your every need?
What will you do
when humanity goes against you?
Will you attack them
until they bleed?
To who do you bend your knee?
When people look at you,
who do they see?
Are you consecrated and set apart for me?
Are you ready to fully worship me?
Do you love unconditionally?
Do you forgive faithfully?
Will you love your neighbor as you love me?

When your tongue
touches the back of your teeth,
what kind of vibrations proceed?
Does your mouth offer
praise and worship to me?
Where is your thanksgiving?
Do you love me with all of your being?
Do your heart trust and believe,
that I made you in the image of me?


Yes.
In my image, 
you were made.
A triple-braided cord
three strands - thread into one.

Father, Son, and Spirit 
this is who I am.
and with my breath,
and my hand, 
I created you
into a man.
A Spirit, Soul and Body
to reign over my land.
But when I saw
it was not good to be alone.
I made you a woman
from your bones.
Man and Woman
made like us,
Male and Female
would be the host.
They are the creation
we love the most.
They are the home
of My Holy Ghost.

But you decided,
you wanted to be more like me.
When Satan tempted you to eat from tree.
Instead of believing, 
you chose not to trust me. 
Good and evil
is what you wanted to know,
even though
I told you "NO!"
Man and woman
cut themselves off from me
when they decided to eat
from the forbidden tree.
Immediately,
their eyes were opened,
and they could see,
All the evil that 
separated them from me.
Shame became the main feeling,
when they saw the differences in them.
Exposed
unclothed
from my Majesty.
They hid 
afraid 
behind the trees.
And when
I came
I did not ask them,
"Why have you run from me?"
Instead,
I already knew
Satan tempted them
to eat from the tree.
But honestly,
it was not Satan
that had power over them. 
It was their own desire
that lived inside them
and this is what divided them.
The man replied, 
"It was the woman you gave to me,
who gave me the fruit
and told me to eat."
And with that blame,
the woman then said, 
"The serpent is the one who deceived me."
This is how humanity unfolds 
when not connected to me.
Rebellion and Idolatry -
all from the seed
of Satanic deceit. 
It exposes the hearts
inside of them,
and determines the temperature
that is needed.

This is how it ends -
for the ones who have a heart for the Lord.
He loves us so much
that he is willing to expose.
He digs up the dirt that covers us.
He exposes the heart that is filled with lust.
He divides the soul from the spirit
with his Sword.
No discipline is enjoyable while it happening -
it really hurts!
But afterward,
there is a peaceful harvest of right living,
for those who are trained in his way.
 
Bitterness and Un-forgiveness must bleed out,
and the love of Christ must be devout.
He calls in the wilderness
for you to repent. 
He encourages you to stop, 
and turn about.
He asks you to suffer,
and to patiently endure
until he ready take back this world.
His heart is such that none should perish.
He longs for the hearts of everyone.
Listen to his voice on the wind,
"I am calling my marriage back into union."
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
The old has passed away, and the new come.
All this is from me!
Christ, my son, has come to redeem.
​Reconciliation is MY ministry.
Man and woman and ME.
This is the branch
that extends from my tree.
This is how I created your marriage to be.
From this my form of Unity. 
And through your love,
you are to reproduce
more reflections of me.
This is what My eyes see,
when I look to the earth
and the image of me.

A SPECIAL HEART

7/6/2020

Can you imagine -
a transfusion
that cleans out your blood?
A special heart
that filters out
evilness from love.


Impurities
pumping through your veins
flushed out
by the purity
of your righteous King.


The sin of scarlet
begins to disappear
as the blood of Jesus
washes out
the filth of your fear.


Through living water
He purifies your soul -
Your heart and mind
begin to be
abundantly clear.

Dirty but delivered
your heart is renewed.
Your heart of stone
becomes infused
with the Spirit of Truth.


The old is shed,
when your spirit
is born again.
You are no longer your own,
but now
your Holy Spirit led.


Your heart is now covered 
in a new wine skin,
it holds the precious juice
from the Fruit of the Spirit. 

This is what happens
to those born again -
transformed by Holy Spirit
who lives inside of them.


New eyes
take in
spiritual visions,
new ears
absorb
the voice of Him.
Perspective
takes on
a new point of view
when knowledge
is departed
by the one
who formed you.
Revelation
and understanding
is ultimately transfused
when his Spirit
makes clear
what was once confused.
Wisdom
becomes evident
in all that is said,
the tongue
becomes the rudder
of life instead of death.
Those who live love
will cover an offense,
through a gentle answer
and a considerate response.
Unlike those
who repeat a matter
to separate close friends -
they are the ones
who still emulate
the sin of death.


The blood of Christ
is a never ending stream.
It’s pumped
through the heart
of every person
who trusts and believes.


So choose for yourself
if Christ came to redeem.
Choose for yourself
what you want to believe.


When you die
in the flesh
WHO will your heart bleed?
Will it be Christ the Son,
from the Father of Eternity -
or will it be
full of self, 
full of your own humanity?


Remember this -
For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish
​ but have eternal life.
John 3:16

PROSPERITY GOSPEL

Why won't anyone listen to me? 
Is it because they no longer believe
in your prophecy?
Visions and dreams -
do they still unfold
the story of our unity?
The mysteries -
small bits of revelation
for those who have 
open eyes to see.
What I once thought
was only for me,
I now understand
is meant to share
with all humanity.
I will declare
the words
that you give to me.
I will obey
the commands
that you press upon me.
I will trust,
and I will believe -
that your Holy Spirit
resides inside of me.
There is absolutely
nothing in me, 
that can achieve
what only you can bring.
You are the Maker
of everything.
You are the Creator
of every living being.
You gave us
a five-fold ministry.
You gave us nutrition
for spiritual maturity.
Ephesians 4:11 says
It 
was Jesus who gave us apostles and prophets,
evangelists, pastors and teachers -
all to equip us for works of service, and faith in unity.  

This is how we grow to fully receive
everything you teach us
that we are supposed to be.
Oh, thank you Jesus
for your precious offering. 
I do not take your teaching lightly.
I will stand on your word,
and not hesitate. 
I will declare your voice
with all my might. 
I will speak into the darkness 
and wield your Sword.
I will express it all,
every last word!
I will not make up anything
because I fear you Lord
with every part of my being!
I know that I am accountable
for all that I say.
I will hold onto your truth,
I will not stray.

I make this promise to you -
I will never again doubt you. 

Church, 
You have limited your growth because you like to blow your own smoke. 
You do not want to listen to me. 
You do not want to trust and believe. 
You do not want to obey my words. 
You want to stand alone on your own throne. 
You pastors who stand in pride -
Get behind me Satan, I am about to divide. 
Speak from your pulpit and see what I will do. 
I will cut you down and throw you out into the pew. 
You should be ashamed! 
How dare you proclaim as if we are the same. 
Am I not God? 
Am I not the Creator of Life? 
Did I not bring you along, when you were weak and I was strong? 
You looked to me then. 
You clung to me and did not let go. 
You knew who ran the show. 
You gave me credit for all that you know. 
But where are you now? 
Are you holding tightly to your plow? 
Why do you walk away from me? 
Why do you only speak the gospel of prosperity? 
Is there no more suffering? 
Is this what you really believe? 
It makes no sense! 
How have you become so dense? 
Has your log become so thick
that you can no longer discern
how the harvest is picked? 
You know this teaching and preaching is not correct! 
Where is the glory in that? 
Suffering is how I brought you back to me.
Suffering is how I achieved your eternity. 
Suffering exposes your every need,
and to suffer is how you come to know how much I love thee. 
When you die to self,
you come to know how the broken heart begins to grow. 
What was lost becomes found. 
What was confused becomes sound. 
This is the alarm I need you to sound,
die to self and then, put on my crown. 

Where are my suffering servants? 
Where are the hearts that follow my current? 
Immeasurably more is what I give,
but it's not what's stored in the material hearts of men. 
Riches and glory, can only be found in stories. 
Not in growing in numbers or more money.
Do you seek popularity,
or do you seek Me?
Do you not remember,
you overcome the accuser by the blood of the lamb
and the word of your testimony -
that you do not cling to your own life,
even in the face of death. 
Teach them who I am. 
Show them my word. 
Show them my love. 
Come home.  
I am calling you to me.
  Come back to me.
  Come and sit with me. 
I will show you how prosperity
is only gained through suffering.
  Do you remember my servant Stephen
and how he kept his eyes on me?
  Do you remember the stones that he absorbed for me? 
Many do not know me,
because when they look at you
all they see
is your arrogant humanity. 
I know you did not mean to run away from me. 
This is how sin so easily deceives.  I love you.  Come back to me.  Come and receive - fall to your knees.  Give me your heart, and trust and believe.  But remember this - you are not the only.  It is not all about you, and it is not all on you.  You are but a man who has come to receive the Spirit I have given to thee.  It is not by your strength or by your power, but by my Spirit.  This is how I build my house.  This is how I build the hearts of men.  This is how I minister to men.  This is how I empower them.  Now teach them who I am so my image will reflect me again.   

Written on 7/5/20 on Social Media Post


​"Please please read. Until I started to receive visions and dreams, I too would find it hard to believe. Prophecy I thought was meant for old, but now I know that His Spirit is alive and well. It’s all about Christ, and we all have a choice. The Lord speaks the truth through his mouth and his voice. Will you listen? Will you believe? Will you lower your defenses and come to me? Will you cast out your doubt? Will you open your mouth and shout? Will you yell from the rooftops and stop turning about?"

"When will the church begin to believe that I have provided a five fold ministry? It’s not about you! It’s always about me! It’s time to trust and believe that I speak through visions and dreams. I am a living God! I am not dead! I will speak through through the hearts that bleed for me! Now open your ears, and listen to what I say! It’s time for you to learn how to trust and obey! You will see my rain! You will see my hand! You will see destruction AND provision come into the land. Now, gird your loins and brace yourself like a man! My wind is coming into the land! Graft yourself into my tree! My roots are growing and going deep! You will stand up for me, or you will be cut from my tree!"

THE SPOKEN WORD

I can think of nothing
more soothing to the soul
than the river of life
that flows
through the spoken word.


Love and Adoration
moves gently through his voice,
“You are the treasure
that is my heart’s choice.”


Caring and Compassion
pours out onto thee,
“Come here my love,
come and sit with me.”


Passion and Precision
penetrates the dark.
“Make your oil ready,
I’m about to start a spark.”


Preparation and Provision
provided through a vision,
“Centrifuge & Magnetic Magnitude"
is spoken with warning and concision.


Hope and Healing
seeps in through the storm,
“Be still my love,
you will not be harmed.”


Shelter and Shielding
“is found beneath my wings,”
this is the home
he has made for me.


Oh, how I love his security!

There is nothing
that can divide him from me.

I shout to the Lord,
with reverential glee.

“I love you more than anything
that my eyes can see.”

My faith is unyielding,
I will always cling to thee.

You are my God,
and in your arms
is where I will stay.


​I love you Lord!
Let all the earth
hear my worship -
by how I trust and obey!
