		<description><![CDATA[There are many voices in this earth competing for our attention.  How do we know which one to listen to, believe and follow? How do we discern between truth and a lie? What will happen to us if we follow the wrong voices?  These are all very valid questions and it is essential for us to know the answers if we want to live a victorious life.    ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To Bertha Hinson:  Your blog post:  <a title="WFJ:MANS–TRIUNE NATURE!" href="http://www.hisgateway.com/wfjmans-triune-nature/">WFJ:MANS–TRIUNE NATURE! </a>evoked such a strong and long response in me today that I decided to make it a blog post.</p>
<p>Praise God for speaking this essential life-defining word on man’s triune nature through you in these crucial and challenging times.  We&#8217;re being bombarded by so much information.  We&#8217;re going so fast just to keep up and get ahead that we will follow all kinds of thoughts, ideas and opportunities.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I agree with what God is saying through you:  <strong>“Are we making decisions to activate good ideas without double checking to know if they be God Ideas?  Are we testing the spirits to know the voices and thoughts we receive are of God?”</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is so key. </strong> It’s not more information we need but Holy Spirit discernment, revelation understanding, and wisdom to follow only what God is directing us to do, when to do it, and how to do it. To do this <strong>WE MUST SLOW DOWN, SIT IN GOD&#8217;S PRESENCE, LISTEN AND OBEY! </strong></p>
<p>I have been crying out for  Holy Spirit to give me such discernment, wisdom, and revelation.  I&#8217;m amazed at what He is revealing to me as I keep pressing into Him.   I am beginning to identify like never before how subtle Satan, the counterfeiter, is.  He deceptively gets us off track ever so slightly by sneaking into our lives to cloud our vision, stroke our egos, and mess with our soul (mind, will, and emotions).</p>
<p>With just a thought, the counterfeit ruler of this world loves to subconsciously stir up confusion, doubt, fear, and unbelief so we will question God and ourselves.  We will say, “Is that God or me?”  Satan loves to use these emotions against us so we will become paralyzed from fear or just put off what God is prompting us to do by His Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>It’s hard to hear from God, get clarity and wisdom to act if we are bogged down by all these emotions.  The just shall live by faith in God&#8217;s Word alone and not by sight or the other senses.</p>
<p>On the other hand, it can be very misleading when we think we are hearing from God just because we have these great ideas we think are from Him.  We may quickly jump headfirst into action.  That is a problem because God intends for us to be led by our spirit not our mind.  While it may be a good idea, if it is not a God directed idea it will put us on a track that is not His best for us in that given season of our life.  <strong>God’s timing is everything and will bear God-sized fruit.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I am as guilty as the next person because I am the cheerleader type who can get excited with the best of them.  I want to jump in and say, “Go team! Go!”  I have to remember to not get ahead of God or lag way behind, but stay right by His side all the way.  That is the most excellent way.  God has been speaking to me about that as in my last post: <a title="#WFJ: How To Become a Man or Woman of Excellence" href="../wfj-how-to-become-a-man-or-woman-of-excellence/">#WFJ: How To Become a Man or Woman of Excellence </a>.</p>
<p><strong>SO WHO IS TRULY YOUR MASTER?  Not just some of the time but all of the time? </strong></p>
<p>We were never designed by God to allow our soul to be our master but to allow our spirit man who is created, owned, directed and connected to God, to be our only master. This is why the body of Christ is weak and not manifesting the sons of God the earth is groaning to see, wanting to be in control and putting things back in their original God ordained order.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>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).  (Romans 8:19 Amplified).</strong></span></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>This breach in God&#8217;s order is what is separating us from the very manifest presence of God.  This is the power thereof we are lacking.</p>
<p>Moses had the right idea in Exodus 33:15,  <span style="color: #008000;"><strong>“Then he said to Him,  If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.”</strong></span></p>
<p>It is time for the followers of Jesus to demonstrate that we are the most powerful force on this earth because we are sons, daughters, heirs, and ambassadors of the Most High God.  We will never establish God’s Kingdom in this earth until we think, walk, and talk in agreement and unity with God and in the presence of His manifest power.</p>
<p>Apart from God’s Holy Spirit we can do nothing.  In the process of doing it in our own power and perception or deception, we sure can make a mess of things. We can expend a lot of wasted time, energy, and resources, to say nothing of how far off the right track we traveled.</p>
<p>He is waiting on us to be His fullness in this earth.  He has given us everything we need to do what He has commanded us to do.   We have His Word, His power and authority and the name above every name to take dominion of this earth.  The Kingdom of God is within you.  There is a King inside of you waiting to release His power through you.</p>
<p>The Lord Jesus Christ and His heavenly host are waiting to make good the Word of God that is spoken out of our mouths.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.  (Job 22:28).<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.  ( Isaiah 55:11).</strong></span></p>
<p>Faith is NOW. Now it is up to the body of Christ to be clearly devoid of deception, operating out of the Mind of Christ and be fearlessly joined to the headship of Jesus so we can move as one to take back dominion power over this earth in the mighty name and blood of Jesus.  <strong>May the anthem of our joined hearts decree and declare to all the world: “Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Amen.”</strong></p>
<p>Love in Jesus,</p>

		<description><![CDATA[No matter how magnificent we find God's creative handiwork, from the grandest down to the most infinitesimal detail, we must always be mindful that He is greater still than all of His creation. And as such, He is worthy of the highest praise. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When I slipped out the garage door to take my morning walk, the first words that came out of my mouth were, “Thank you, Lord.”  I was aware that even on a gray day it is beautiful when you have a thankful heart and are grateful to be alive! God is good all the time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Walking past the row of Bradford Pear trees, I noticed they were still displaying a rich fall color palette. I saw and heard the leaves on one particular tree gently rustling in the breeze. I thought it strange that none of the other trees were moving like that in the breeze. In fact it made me turn around and stare at this tree for a few moments. A smile came to my face as I realized the Lord was getting my attention. He was waving at me through the dancing leaves and whispering to me through the wind of His breath.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> Continuing down the road, I prayed out loud in the Holy Spirit all the way around my neighborhood. The Lord brought some people to mind and I prayed for them. I was reflecting on the goodness of God and my heart was so full of gratitude and joy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> At about midway on my walk I came to a place in the road where the wind was picking up. I looked up and saw some leaves falling to the ground. I stopped for a few minutes just to watch this intriguing dance of falling leaves. They were uniquely different. Some would spiral around and around until they hit the ground. Others would gently waft back and forth in their descent. Still others actually looked like bird wings flitting in the breeze. It was amazing to see such a variety of movement. It caused me to marvel at the infinite handiwork of my God.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> It struck me that even the leaves worship God in their magnificent color and dance. Their descent marks the end of a season. I thought about how even the leaves are carried on the wind of God’s love. How much more will He carry us in His loving arms through all the seasons of our lives? He will hold us close until we step out of our earth suits and into the  glory of His presence forevermore where we will be totally free at last! Hallelujah and amen!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Prayer Power</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Heavenly Father and Creator of all, I give you thanks and glory for your magnificent creation both great and small. No detail escapes your eye,  hand, and heart. May I always be mindful that as marvelous as Your handiwork is, You are greater still and I exalt you above all else, in Jesus name. Amen</span></strong>   </p>
