I know a man who received those very words from his doctor and they hung over the hospital room like a death sentence! He had been diagnosed with one of the deadliest and fastest growing cancers known as Burkitt’s Lymphoma. I was told my friend, Brian Wills, and his family all stood in total shock and silence after the doctor left the room.

Brian’s mother, Myrtle Wills, a dear woman of strong Christian faith and a spiritual mother to me, told me she knew from that moment on that every word they spoke would be critical to Brian’s healing.

After the doctor left the hospital room Myrtle broke the silence with these words: “Let God be true and every man a liar. (Roman 3:4).

With one voice the family agreed and repeated God’s Word: “Let God be true and every man a liar.”

Brian’s mother then walked to the foot of the bed and made another strong declaration from the Word of God: “Brian, you will live and not die and declare the works of the Lord.  (Psalm 118:17).

I highly recommend that you get his brand new recently released first book,  10 Hours to Live, A True Story of Healing and Supernatural Healing by Brian Wills.

Go to: Amazon.com: 10 Hours to Live: A True Story of Healing and …

The book can be found at Barnes and Noble as well as Books A Million and other leading bookstores.

Read it and be changed by the healing power of Jesus Christ!

You don’t want to miss this rising “Bestseller!”

Read how one family dared to take a firm stand and take God at His Word until they saw the physical manifestation of Brian’s total healing!

Brian’s story will bless and encourage you as well as fill you with hope and teach you how to apply God’s Word for healing. His testimony has been featured on Kenneth Copeland’s Voice of Victory and Pat Robertson’s The 700 Club and in several well-known newspaper and tennis publications.

Brian and his wife Beth Wills are itinerant missionaries who carry a message of hope and healing to this generation.  Through their ministry, Healing For The Nations, Brian travels to many countries of the world and is seeing miraculous healings and other  amazing things  God is doing.

I was recently at a local bible study that Brian Wills teaches.  He was talking about how revelation is progressive. When Jesus knew He had total victory, then He could go to the cross.  His victories were incremental.  The first miracle Jesus performed was turning water into wine.  As He grew in wisdom and stature He worked up to performing greater miracles.  He didn’t start out raising Lazarus from the dead! 

One of the most profound things Brian said at our bible study was, “When will we see supernatural miracles?  We will see supernatural miracles when we know in our soul we have total dominion and sickness is under our feet!  We need to be more conscious of God than the enemy!”

Likewise with you and me, we have to grow and develop in faith.   Brian Wills is a man who knows firsthand about the healing power of Jesus Christ.  He wants to share his life-changing God story, 10 Hours to Live, with the world.  He firmly believes that what God did for him He will do for others because God is no respecter of persons!

Humbly, Brian will be the first to give God all the glory and honor for the love and the supernatural healing power of Jesus Christ he experienced.  He travels all over the world to share it with others.  Chances are you know someone who needs the message of this book.  Perhaps that person could be YOU!

Please be sure to spread the word and tell all your friends, family, church, neighbors, classmates, acquaintances, and co-workers.  I welcome any and all comments, testimonies and experiences you may have from reading this book.  I would love to pass them on to Brian!  Thank you.

Love in Jesus,

LOVE IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING. Love is at the center of everything I do because I Am the center of all life.  Keep your eyes and your intentions on the power of My love because that is how faith works – by love.  I Am LOVE and faith works because of My love in you.

Let your faith respond to Me and My love in you and you will see My results.  They are God-sized.

IF YOU GET ANYTHING – GET ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE – IN ME, – AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE RESULTS.

The God kind of love, not human love, will uproot and flush out fear and nothing will stop your faith from bearing the fruit I planned for you all along.

So keep your focus on Me and the force of love and we will walk in covenant relationhip and co-create great and mighty things.  I blessed you with love so you could bless others and bring transformation to the world.

#WFJ: Day 22 of 30 Days to Breakthrough – Part Two of Overview of Wellness

Lord you asked me to ask You what wellness means.  Show me where I stand regarding wellness.  Help me formulate a plan to achieve and maintain wellness.

We have already tapped into wellness.  It has to do with Me, faith and love. I HAVE FAITH BUT I AM LOVE.

I created you in My image and likeness.  I designed you to operate like Me – by faith and your faith works by love.  When you put Me and My plan at the center of your heart your life will go well.  You will walk in wellness and wholeness because that is My good plan for you.

I am a God of wholeness. It is well with you when you are whole.  That is My abundant life and shalom for you where nothing is missing or broken.  That’s what shalom means.

I want the world to get John 3:16 down into their heart.  That’s why I came.

“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).

Just as it was spoken (on Visions777 12 Week 24 Webinars Vision Casting Series  For The Decade) on the inaugural webinar: “God’s Vision for Renewing Your Mind: What you believe will drive your actions.

If you desire wellness in your life you must believe that I am a good God of love and that I love you.  I created you for intimate relationship with Me and your fellow man.  I created you out of love and for love.  I want you to know that you are loved with an unfailing love and you are to love yourself and others with My love.  This leads to wellness and wholeness in every area of your life.

I created you for good works and to enjoy this life I gave you.  I have a plan and purpose for you.  When you walk in love and in communion with Me I will help you flesh out all the details that make you well in spirit, soul, body, finances and relationships. That comprises all of life.

Do life with Me, My way.  That is – by faith which works by love. Taste and see that the Lord is good.  (Psalm 34:8).

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.

All of life and wellness boils down to the two greatest commandments in Mark 22: 37-40:

Jesus replied: ” Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

When you live like this it WILL BE WELL WITH YOUR SOUL, JUST LIKE I SAID IT WOULD BE!

Love in Jesus,

Father of my spirit, soul and body, I choose to live, love, and worship You in Spirit and in truth that I may live a life of wellness and wholeness as you have declared I would according to Your Word in Jesus name.  Amen.

FAMILY has been so greatly on my heart and in my thoughts these days.  The Lord has been speaking so clearly and intensely to me about the priority of His heart  which is about RELATIONSHIPS.  IT IS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE SO GOD LOVINGLY DESIGNED US FOR RELATIONSHIPS. What is life without them?  Nothing.

“But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”  (Joshua 24:15).

Since I had family on my mind I am sure that is why the Lord gave me this DREAM.

I was present at a baby christening.  The family was on a platform in a church.  The pastor held the child who was being dedicated to the Lord.  I didn’t recognize any of the people except Barbara Bush.

I noticed the First Lady was adorned in her signature pearl necklace.    She stood there as the pastor exhorted the parents to raise their child in the admonition of the Lord.

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”  (Proverbs 22:6).

As the pastor blessed the baby, the parents and family, Mrs. Bush seemed oblivious to those around her.  Her eyes were riveted on that child.  She smiled, made signs and silently mouthed words to her beloved kindred.  I had a sense that she was speaking the Word of God into that little one.

I stood in amazement as I witnessed this precious relationship developing.  What the First Lady was offering the child was a costly gift of great love.  It was Jesus Himself, the Living Word of God, who was being transferred from one generation to the next, right down through the family lines.

I believe that’s why the pearls around Mrs. Bush’s neck caught my eye. They symbolized the pearl of greatest price, Jesus Himself.  Each pearl on that strand also represented each priceless member of God’s family who had accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.  Being a part of that divine strand connected each member not only to Jesus but to each other in COVENANT RELATIONSHIP.

The First Lady was symbolic of being a spokesperson or an ambassador for the FIRST FAMILY OF GOD.  She was imparting God’ very own creative words of life, truth, power and instruction so the child would come to know and accept Jesus and grow up wise and strong in the Lord.  These life-giving words would actually equip and empower her to love and serve God all the days of her life.  She would have great love and influence to impart the things of God to others.

That was the dream.

Just as The First Lady spoke pearls of divine heavenly wisdom and revelation through the living Word to her descendants, we too must Speak Only God’s Words of Life to Expand the Family of God.

When you really stop and think about it, this truly is the only way the Kingdom of God’s family will be established, multiplied and cover the earth for God’s glory.  It is done by faith through word of mouth by the Word of God.  It is pretty amazing how God planned to grow His family!

And so it has ever been all through out the ages.  Jehovah God, Creator of heaven and earth, existed and came before us.  He created us specifically for the purpose of intimate relationship with Himself and then with each other.   After Adam and Eve fell from sin it resulted in spiritual separation of the whole human race from their perfect union with God.

To restore their union with Himself and with each other, God sent His Son Jesus to die for us so we could become like Him and have eternal life.  He is coming back for those who have received Jesus as Lord and Savior so we may enjoy our relationship in and with Him and in and with His family in heaven for eternity.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  (John 14:6).

I have felt such urgency about the state of affairs in my own personal family relationships and the ones at large in the family of God and those outside the family of God (those who don’t know Jesus as Lord and Savior).  I know Jesus is coming back.  How soon, only God the Father knows.  One only has to read the signs of the times in this world and know what the bible says in order to know that Jesus could come back at any time to fulfill biblical prophecy!

The questions you must be asking yourself NOW are:

• Do I know where I am going the moment after I die?
• Have I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior and secured my eternal place in heaven with God because of Jesus’ alone and His finished work on the cross for me? (It’s not because of any of my good works but His).
• Am I sharing the good news of eternal life with God and His family to all those around me?
• Am I living for Jesus and like Jesus so others will know the way, the truth and the life?
• Am I a beacon of light and hope as I clearly and boldly SPEAK GOD’S WORDS OF LIFE TO OTHERS THAT THEY MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?
• Is my house in order?
• Are all of my relationships (first with God, then with others) in good standing?
• Do I have any unfinished business: relationally, spiritually, physically, emotionally or financially?
• If I knew I only had one day or even one week or month to live, WHAT WOULD MY PRIORITIES BE?

“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!”  (Deut 30:19).

Lord God Almighty, I thank You that You loved me enough to send Your Son Jesus to die on a cross for me.  You loved me just as I was, a sinner, but You didn’t want me to stay in my fallen condition, so You made me the righteousness of Yourself in Christ Jesus.  Thank You for Your amazing grace.  Help me develop the fruit of Your perfect LOVE within me so I can be empowered to speak only God’s Words of life in Jesus name to expand the family of God.  Amen.

” ABSOLUTELY TRUST WHO I AM!“

My child, I love all My children.  I have such a good plan for each one.  My grandest plan is to have a family rooted and grounded in LOVE – that’s Me!  I am the center of it all for I created it all.  I am the HEAD, the SOURCE and SUPPLY of My creation.

The main thing I desire for My children, each one, is for them to KNOW how much I love them and will never fail them.  My will is for each one to know Me as their heartbeat, source, supply and total fulfillment.

The order of My house is established on LOVE because every single thing I do, create and supply is done out of love for My creation.  In order for there to be order and divine flow in My house, MY CHILDREN MUST ABSOLUTELY TRUST WHO I AM AND TRUST MY LOVE FOR THEM.

I Am a jealous God and I want to be the total and absolute source for My children.  I don’t want My children to get off track into IDOLATRY or ADULTERY.  Both display a lack of trust.

With IDOLATRY, My children put other things before Me as their god, source and supply.  SELF is the greatest idol of all. My children falsely believe they must meet their own needs just in case I don’t come through for them, so they make their own plans and rush off without Me!  I Am the Master Planner.  I know all the plans that will bear My fruit, the most excellent kind.

“SELF IS THE GREATEST IDOL OF ALL!”

I DESIRE THAT PEOPLE TALK TO ME AND ASK ME FOR THE PLAN.  I WILL UNFOLD IT STEP BY STEP AS THEY USE THEIR FAITH.  THIS TAKES TRUST AND TIME. It’s a journey, a walk, a relationship.

I expect My children to get in on My plans and follow Me all the way through to manifestation. Instead, those in idolatry are trusting in their own plan and calling it God’s plan and expect Me to bless it!  If it is a plan of Me and Mine it will already be blessed.  You just have to walk it out as you stay by Me step by step and allow Me to flow through it and supply and direct it.

As I said, I am a jealous God!  I will share My glory with no one.  And I will be faithful to My Word to supply ALL the needs of My children.  I will not have any other usurp or take over the responsibilities of caring for or supplying the needs of My own family.

I will use man and supply will come through man’s hands but it’s still from Me because I own it all.  Man’s selfish nature wants to take the credit.  There are all kinds of lesser idols than self but they all exhibit a lack of trust in Me who is greater than My creation. It’s out of My order and perfect will and will fail.  I never fail but man fails to trust Me completely.

Then there is the sin of ADULTERY.  I Am an absolutely faithful and trustworthy God but My children are not faithful to Me.  They choose all kinds of other gods to met their own needs.  They are unfaithful when they depart from their first love and Creator.

“I AM ABSOLUTELY FAITHFUL AND TRUSTWORTHY!”

My people came from Me in love and when they depart or disconnect from Me they are unfaithful.  They have gotten out of divine order and things will not work for the best in My fashion.

People need to recognize when they are walking in idolatry or adultery. If you have put yourself before (ahead of) Me and made yourself your own god in control of your life, you will be deceived and your plans will fail.  When you are unfaithful to Me, your first love, the work of your hands will not flow or be blessed because you have taken them out of My hands into your own.

In Me doors will open supernaturally and things will flow effortlessly because man has taken himself off the throne and allowed me to unfold, direct and supply the plan.

Surrender all to Me and don’t impede the Master Planner from working His plan.  Ask for the eyes of your understanding to be opened and I will show it to you.  I Am the Planner and the Plan.  Look for Me.  Follow Me.  Trust Me.  Trust My plan.  Let Me increase and you decrease and stop striving to make it all happen.  Just let Me flow.  Do it by faith and walk in My Holy Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of your flesh.

My plan is perfect!  Shalom.

Love in Jesus,

Grace Notes.

The scripture the Lord keeps bringing to my spirit loud and clear is from Psalm 127:1: A Song of Ascents, of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.

The question that is coming to my spirit right now is this.  After you pass from this life can it truly be said of you: You were a person who lived according to the will and testament of God’s eternal Word.  You did not follow your own way or plans but the will and way of the Master Planner of life.   Even when you miss it and fall short, it is still a great testimony to live and leave behind.

Prayer Power

Lord God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, I surrender all to you and acknowledge you as my Master Planner.  You alone know the supreme plan for all of my life.  Open the eyes of my understanding and show it to me step by step as I totally trust You and walk it out by faith, in Jesus mighty name.  Amen.

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.  (John 14:1)

Lord, what are we going to do today?  What would please you?

Be still, My child, and KNOW that it is I your God who has made you. I delight in you and delight in giving you good gifts.

Be at peace knowing that in Me is eternal life, now and forever.  I am with you always.  Walk with Me and talk with Me and I will open the secrets and wonders of Myself and My creation with you.

Keep your eyes on Me, NOT troubling circumstances around you. I am the answer you seek in all things.  Stay close to Me so I can lead you and show you things to come.  Watch and pray.

Like David, be sensitive to the wind of My Spirit blowing in the tops of the mulberry trees.  Be ready to move when I say move!  Do not be troubled.  Do not question the leading of My Holy Spirit.

I am leading you into all truth. I have a plan and purpose for your life and it is good! I accomplish much in this earth through my faithful servants who are willing and obedient to follow Me.

I know what is to come.  I know what is around the corner.  I know what lies in the hearts of men whether good or evil.  Those who trust and obey Me will have a part in My plan for good and will reap blessing and favor.  Those who listen and obey the voice of darkness will reap death and destruction and will not enjoy My blessing.

There are two kingdoms at war for the souls of man.  The kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness will be engaged unto death, but I have overcome the world and defeated death.

Now more than ever the war in the heavenlies is escalating, for the end of the age is coming to a close. I am coming back for My faithful ones who believed Me and what My Word Jesus said about eternal life.

There are still multitudes who have yet to choose: Life of death.  CHOOSE life in Christ Jesus! I am the way the truth and the life.  THOSE WHO HAVE THE TRUTH, HOLD FAST TO YOUR FAITH AND DO NOT GIVE UP!

Continue to be a light in the darkness and point others to Me that they may not perish and spend eternity apart from Me which is hell.  In the face of all odds and the presence of darkness, TAKE YOUR STAND FOR ME AND DO NOT WAVER OR BUDGE!

I am your reward and I will not leave you or forsake you.  I am your victory.  Hold fast to Me. You are blessed because of your stand.  REJOICE for I am rejoicing in you and with you!

BE AT PEACE AND CARRY ON.

Grace Notes

My preceding blog post: A WAKE UP CALL TO THE BODY OF CHRIST! is so connected to this Day 22 of 30 Days to Breakthrough – Overview of Wellness. As the body of Christ, you need to know what the fullness of WELLNESS is according to the Word of God.

In order to experience WELLNESS you need to discern the whole body of Christ.   It consists of two parts:

1. Jesus
2. Jesus’ followers (your brothers and sisters in Christ worldwide).

Your first priority is to KNOW, be fully connected to and solidly engaged to the headship (power, rule and authority) of Christ, the Anointed One and His anointing.  Jesus is the HEAD of the Kingdom of God and everything flows from the head down.

If you are not solidly connected to the head, which is Jesus, then you cannot receive His orders or His power and anointing to carry out His commands, nor will you experience optimum results or wellness.

Jesus is the name above every name.  Jesus is the Word of God.  In order to know Jesus you have to know what the Word of God says.  They are one and the same and cannot be separated.

Of course, you must first accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior before you can KNOW Him and be in an intimate relationship with Him.  Then you must be baptized in His Holy Spirit so He can lead you into all the truth.  Then you can grow up, develop and mature in the things of God.  This is a lifelong process.

Carefully study to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.  (2 Timothy 2:15).

The government (rule and way of doing things) of the Kingdom of God is entirely upon King Jesus’ shoulders forever.  It will never pass away.  Clothe and arm yourself in King Jesus Himself and you will be equipped and empowered to live a life of wholeness and wellness as God’s Word declares, promises and delivers.

When you know and obey the Word of God then you will walk right and treat the rest of Jesus’ body as He commanded.  You are to walk in love because faith works by love.

And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.  (2 John 1:6).

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.  (Galatians 5:6).

But above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfection.  (Colossians: 3:14).

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.  (Romans 13:8).

Part and parcel of loving includes forgiving.  Unforgiveness is the main reason why faith doesn’t work and why people fail to receive healing.  This will obviously prevent wellness.

When you are in right order and standing with Jesus and His body (your brothers and sisters in Christ), you will be in right order and standing with yourself because it is all connected and designed to operate in unity.

He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.  (Ephesians 4:16).

This is the manifestation of the sons of God that the world is groaning to see. They hunger to see a better way to live where they are free, fully loved and accepted, thriving and their needs are fully met.  They need to see God’s people operating  in this full power, authority and anointing of faith in action through the supernatural power of the love of Jesus , the Savior of the world.  It is only possible in and through Christ.

This is ultimately what wellness is all about.  This is how it will be well with your spirit, soul and body.  It is God’s divine order, the way He created it to be.  He knows perfectly well how He designed you and everybody else to function best.  Why don’t you just do it His way and have peace and wellness?

Prayer Power

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and wellness and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.  In Jesus name I pray for you.  Amen.

The Lord showed me why the body of Christ is not entirely well or whole.  He connected all these dots.  This is not even the two-way journal response He gave me for an Overview of Wellness.  This is the picture he painted.  It is a very strong message and the church must WAKE UP! Even God’s own elect are being deceived by man’s traditions (and way of doing things) and religious spirits.

WAKE UP CHURCH!

Jesus replied, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”  (Mathew 8:20).

The Son of Man is looking for a place to lay His head, meaning to attach His head ( headship, rule and authority) to His body.  However, today, as in the days of His disciples, they were not ready or in position to hear/receive/accept the truth, let alone walk in it.

Many in the body of Christ are trying to operate in the things of God without God’s power and authority flowing through them because they are not solidly attached to the Head.  They are double-minded.  They are disconnected but think they are connected!  They are deceived thinking they are doing things God’s way but they are not.  God is not going to release His anointing and blessings to flow through those who are not rightly representing Him or doing things according to His Word.

Now more than ever we need to be in unity and walking with Christ as His body in order to overcome this corrupt world system.

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud… and so on… Having a form of godliness but denying its power, and from such people turn away!”  (2 Timothy 3:1).

Man is trying to meet his own needs in his own ways while squeezing God out of the equation.  This system is called materialism: meeting our needs without God.  There is still too much of the world’s Babylonian system mixed in with the Kingdom way of doing things.  We can’t have it both ways and expect to receive from God.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”  (Mathew 6:33)

God has made a way to provide for all of our needs according to His riches in glory.  (Philippians 4:19).  His name is Jesus.   We are either going to do it His way or we will be sorely lacking.  We must take our stand and it must be pure.  Are we going to stand for God and His Word or not?

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” (Mathew 6:24).

Too many in the body of Christ are sick, broken, and broke financially.  They are not experiencing wholeness and wellness in their bodies, family, relationships, church/ministry, finances, marketplace, school etc.

“Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” (James 5:14).

The church is not operating in the fullness of God’s healing power and that must and will change.  All that came to Jesus were healed because they believed the living Word.

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”  (Galatian 6:7).

I was reading in Revelation 2:18-29 about the church in Thyatira, the corrupt church.  In my bible notes it said of this church:

• Commendation: Love, service, faith, patience are greater than at first.
• Criticism: Tolerates cult of idolatry and immorality.
• Instruction: Judgment coming; keep the faith.
• Promise: Rule over nations and receive morning star.

Study it for yourself.  It speaks of a morally compromised church in a commercial city that tolerated a cult of idolatry and immorality.  We must ask ourselves if we have any idols in our lives.  Anything we put ahead of God is an idol.  A few examples are: the love of money, modern technology or social marketing gurus and their strategies.

Other idols could be making self your own god and working to meet your own needs, your job/career, doing good works for God’s or man’s approval, church programs, sports, covetousness, lust, competitiveness, shopping, recreation, hobbies, gluttony, greed, sexual vice, drugs, pornography, gambling, gossip, unholy desires and on and on.

We must ask ourselves if we are committing spiritual adultery in any way.  Are we being unfaithful to Jesus by pursuing man’s worldly ways that seem right in our own eyes?  Are we building our own kingdoms or towers of Babel and placing self or others at the top of the heap instead of Jesus?

Are we devising our own dreams, schemes and plans to achieve massive recognition, power, fame, fortune and influence to get what we want instead of following the Holy Spirit and allowing His plan and provision to unfold and be manifested in our lives?

Clearly in these troubled and perilous days, it is time for the sons and daughters of God to be manifested in this earth.  God’s plan is for His body/His people, to be a guiding light to the rest of the world to lead them out of darkness.

We are supposed to be the set-apart ones.  However, oftentimes the church and its ways cannot be distinguished from the world and its way of doing things.  Something has to change. As believers we are called to be like Jesus.  Is that what the world is seeing in you?  Are you walking His way?

Love in Jesus,

Psalm 139: 23,24: Search me thoroughly, Oh God, and know my heart!  Try me and know my thoughts!  And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting, in the matchless name of Jesus. Amen.

My two-way journal response to Day 22 of 30 Days to Breakthrough: OVERVIEW OF WELLNESS, will be continued in another blog post.

Lord, what are we going to do today?  What would please you?

My child, I am taking you on a path of deeper discovery of My AGAPE LOVE.  It is what your heart has longed for and cried out for.

I am a rewarder of those that diligently seek Me and in seeking Me you have come to the source of agape love.  I am the endless well of living waters.

I am the source that totally satisfies and quenches a heart’s longing to love and be loved.  For I put that longing in every human heart so I alone can fill it up with Myself, the source of perfect agape love that never gives up on or quits pursuing the object of My desire which is humanity, My creation.

I long for an intimate relationship with each member of My human family more than they long a relationship with Me, but I never give up on each one.  I never stop pursuing and patiently waiting for them to come around to that place of perfect rest in Me, love and peace in Me.

I will not be satisfied until each one returns to My heart from whence they were first sent out.  I patiently wait and work for the tide to turn in their hearts and they recognize and come running home to their source – My perfect love for them – MY AGAPE LOVE.

My kind of love never stops giving.  It is My will that not any perish.  Everyone will not choose to receive My agape love but I will never stop extending My love to My creation because that’s who I Am and what I do.  I AM LOVE AND LOVE ALWAYS GIVES!

I gave My only begotten Son that none should perish but have everlasting life.  Our (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) Love never fails, never quits and never stops giving.

Come and receive.  Fill up on Me so you can love like Me and give yourself away.

Grace Notes

God’s AGAPE LOVE is the highest form of love. It is a love with no strings attached!  It isn’t looking for what it can get but for what it can give.  When you love with this God kind of pure love it is impossible for you to feel hurt or let down by the response of the recipients of your love.  You don’t love them for the purpose of getting something in return; you shower them with love simply because you love them.

Dictionary definition of agape love:

• Lovefeast
• Love
• Wide open: gaping
• Being in a state of wonder

From Rick Renner’s book, Sparkling Gems From the Greek, 365Greek Word Studies for Every Day of the Year To Sharpen Your Understanding of God’s Word.

Agape occurs when an individual sees, recognizes, understands, or appreciates the value of an object or a person, causing the viewer to behold this object or person in great esteem, awe, admiration, wonder, and sincere appreciation.  Such respect is awakened in the heart of the observer for the object or person he is beholding that he is compelled to love it.  In fact, his love for that person or object is so strong that it is irresistible.

The best example of agape in the New Testament is found in John 3:16:

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.

According to Rick Renner this means that when God looked upon the human race, He stood in awe of mankind, even though man was lost in sin.  God admired man; He wondered at man; He held man in the highest appreciation.  Even though mankind was held captive by Satan at that moment, God looked upon the world and saw His own image in man.  The human race was so precious to God and He loved man so deeply that His heart was so stirred to reach out and do something to save them.  In other words, God’ love drove Him to action.

Prayer Power

Father God, thank You that Your agape was shed abroad in our hearts the moment we accepted you as Lord and Savior.  Help us renew our minds so we can agape You and others like you agape us in Jesus name!  Amen.

Get things in order for your trip.  This is an important one to spend some quality time with your mother.  As you know, I am big on honoring your parents so it will go well with you.

I don’t have to tell you that at the top of your list of those to honor is your Most High God for I Am the Great I Am.  Everything flows from the head down, so to start and end well one must honor Me above all others.

This principle isn’t about egos but about My Word. I am faithful to My Word.  Honor is directly connected to the principle of sowing and reaping.  If you want to receive honor you must first give it.

Even if others do not choose to honor you in return, I am watching for those who obey and keep My Word, for they will be blessed for keeping My Word.  That is the ultimate in honoring Me because your actions speak loudly of your trust in and love for Me.  Thank you.

Have a blessed time with your Mom! As I put it in her heart to always tell you four children growing up:  “DO EVERYTHING WITH LOVE!”  In essence that is honoring Me because you are doing it in agreement with Me, for I Am LOVE.

I honored all mankind when I sent Myself, My living Word, in the form of Jesus to save man from his own selfish sinful ways. SIN ONLY HONORS AND EXALTS SELF! That’s why you need Me to keep things flowing and growing in My divine order.

“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?”  (Mark 8:36)

When you do things My way you live a life of honor and are a vessel of honor unto Me.  I bless you for this!

Day 17 of 30 Days to Breakthrough – Keep Good Records

Lord, in which of these areas am I falling short?

1. What I own
2. What I owe
3. What I earn
4. Where it all goes

Finances have never been a strength for you. It has been more of a fear and faulty mindset that has not been based on My Word.  The lies, confusion and generational programming from the past have made it a difficult process.

I have said much about MONEY in My Word. I have laid out sound principles to govern how you deal with finances.  When you have light on a subject – when you have My principles, wisdom and Holy Spirit to lead you, it is not hard or confusing.

I am not a God of confusion.  Study My principles on money management in My Word.  Dig in and get a hold of the truth so you can confront and master this area of your life.

I said My people are the head not the tail.  They are the lenders and not the borrowers.  I want My people positioned in such a way that through their obedience to Me and My principles I will pour out My blessings and the world will take notice.

I want My people to be at the top of every sector in society.  I AM WATCHING FOR THOSE WHO ARE READY TO RECEIVE THE WEALTH TRANSFER FOR MY PURPOSES, NAMELY SO MY KINGDOM CAN BE ESTABLISHED IN THIS EARTH.

Handle wisely what you have been given in this life but be wise to discern the difference between fleeting trinkets and lasting eternal treasure!

Love in Jesus,

Grace Notes

Today’s entire journal response was a “rhema word” of such great magnitude.  It all emanated around the word HONOR!

To honor God is to:

• Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior
• Know Him and His holy Word
• Love Him
• Trust Him
• Recognize He gave us Himself/His Word so we would win and not fail
• Obey His Word/principles
• Honor each other
• Honor God’s creation and take dominion over it as commanded
  
• Position yourself to receive honor, blessing, favor and every good gift from the heavenly Father
• Position yourself for the wealth transfer for His purposes, namely to establish His Kingdom on earth
• Sow and reap according to His Word
• Do everything with LOVE/God
• Put money in its proper place and master it wisely
• Discern the difference between fleeting trinkets and lasting eternal treasure

Prayer Power

Father God, how great you truly are!  Help me to grow in my lifetime understanding of the fullness of what it means to HONOR YOU so I can walk in wisdom.  By Your Holy Spirit help me to obey when my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak.  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen.

My child, listen to My heart.  Listen to My very heartbeat. It cries out for all My people from every nation around My glorious universe.  This earth is filled with My glory but the eyes of My people are blind to Me and My ways.

They have been blinded by the lies of the spirit of antichrist who does everything in his power to turn the people against My Word so they will be powerless.  My Word is power, spirit and truth.  The enemy has no power of his own, only what My people empower him to do in their lives and in this world.

My Word spoke everything into existence and it still is all-powerful.  Jesus, the name above every name, has all power and authority I ascribed to it and Jesus is My very heartbeat.  I sent Him into this world to open the eyes of all My people so they can live in the complete liberty of My Spirit.

My love, which is an extension of who I AM, holds all things together in My created universe.  And I rule all things by My love. Love is what every living spirit longs for because it is what I breathed into them when I breathed life into their very nostrils and they became a living spirit formed in love, from love, and craving love for their very existence.

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.  (1 John 4:8).

For in Him we live and move and have our being.  (Acts 17:28).

No man is fulfilled until they know and walk in the perfection and power of My love. I didn’t say they have to be perfect before I love them.  I loved them before I ever formed them.  It is the perfection and anointing of My love and My perfect Word in them that will complete the work.

I am coming back for My people but they are not ready to receive Me. I cannot come back until My Word is preached to the ends of the earth and all men, women and children have heard the good news of My glorious gospel.

And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come.  (Mathew 24:14).

The truth of My love and of My perfect sacrifice of Jesus’ blood on the tree of life will set people free and I will draw them by My Holy Spirit to come into My Kingdom so they will spend eternity with Me.

I have spoken the truth to the world through My holy Word. It is the prayers of My people who believe this Word and speak it out that I say in My Word I am faithful to perform.

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).

I am a covenant God and I back up and make good My Word spoken out of your mouths.  So Rejoice and let My Word resound throughout this earth so I may show Myself all powerful and faithful to perform what I promised and sealed in the blood of My dear Son

This is what is always on My heart because I put it in the hearts of all people. My purpose for creating you is to have an intimate loving relationship with you.  The creation is not greater than the Creator.

My love for you is so great and I desire for you to “know” me as greatly as I know you and knew you before I ever had the vision of who you were to become in My heart.  My  dream and vision is to have your heart and My heart beat as one. I have chosen to love you perfectly and it is in your heart that I want to take up complete and eternal residence.  Won’t you invite Me, the Creator of this universe and your life, to come and be one with you forever?

Prayer is the vehicle of communication I have provided for you 24/7. I am always here for you.

Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.  (Jeremiah 33:3).

Prayer is as easy and as vital as breathing.  You need it to live! Prayer or communication with Me is to be a lifestyle.  You can talk on the phone to your friends and family.  You can talk to Me.  I have provided a plan that gives you total and free access.

I AM ASKING YOU TO  PRAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE, ESPECIALLY ON THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER, THURSDAY MAY 6, 2010. Cry out to me in repentance for not turning to Me first and always for your every need and heart’s desire.  I am your answer all the time.

Seek Me and Me alone for only I can change hearts and turn people’s lives around for good.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.  (James 1:17).

Turn to me so I can cleanse hearts from sin and bring healing to the hearts of My people and healing to the land which is crying out for the sons of God to be manifest in this earth.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.  (2 Chronicles 7:14)

I am enough and My grace is sufficient in your weakness.  My heart breaks when you do not receive My undying and perfect love for you that cannot compare to any kind of earthly love you will ever know.  My love is supernatural because there is nothing selfish or natural about it. It is totally divine and I have come to heal your heart and put you back into right relationship with Me like it was before the foundation of the world.

Come to Me and I will give you rest for your weary and broken hearts. I will take all the broken pieces and make something beautiful out of your life.  I rejoice and sing over you the song of the redeemed.

He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.  (Zephaniah  3:17).

Open your hearts so you can hear My call for you to come into unity with My heart and divine plan for your life.  You will see through My supernatural eyes when you choose to turn your heart over to Me.  The life I have for you is so far beyond anything You can think or imagine.

Come, My child.  Don’t waste one more precious nanosecond apart from Me and My love for you on this eternal journey of overflowing abundant life in My presence. We have eternity for Me to open up and share the secrets of my infinite universe.  Come.  Rejoice and be glad with Me as I show you who I Am and who you are in Me.  I Am the paradise your heart seeks.

Love in Jesus,

Chuck Pierce wrote on April 22, 2010:

Dear Watching Saints:

I am finishing a much needed book for us to use this season. A Time to See: Let Your Spirit Soar and Break the Power of Vexation (working title)…

Deborah Degar then gave a tongues message and Raymond Banks prophesied:  “I will give you those strategies in the nighttime season.  Awake o sleeping daughter.  Awake o sleeping daughter of Zion.  War in the nighttime season for I will give you the word.  I will give you the vision.  I will give you the knowledge.  I will give you the understanding of how to take that which comes to you in the nighttime season, at the eleventh hour to take your inheritance.  I will show you and reveal to you the strategy I have for you in this hour. Catherine Rossi added, “You’re on call.  You’re on call to Me.  Get up.  Get up. Get up. Come and look and see.”

7 DAYS TO GAIN A BEACHHEAD FOR VICTORY!
The Spirit of God fell on me as I listened to the webcast in my office. I left my desk and book writing and walked to the sanctuary.  I heard Him say:“I’m calling you over these next 7 days to enter in with Me in a new way to pray. Jerichos will fall, heavens will open, and new ways will form!”

What I saw Him doing was from 6 at night to 6 in the morning, He is just going to wake you up.  He has dream revelation ready.  It was like there were buckets of dream revelation ready.  There were words and visions, even night visions that were there.  What He is saying to us is for 7 days starting at 6 p.m. when you receive this to be ready to hear in a new way. He is ready to unlock some things in our life that will not only defeat our enemy but show us how to prosper.  Starting  at 6 p.m. for 7 days, I want you to record your night revelation.  There is going to be much revelation in your prayer time.  There is going to be a renewed spirit that He produces in His people.  Break that power of sleep that is over you.  You are going to ask Him a question and He is going to answer.  You will know exactly how to move forward.  Then at the end of these 7 days, you will see acceleration.

Back to my dream. I believe God was answering my prayer for strategies through this dream.  I was at an air show watching two planes do maneuvers. I was sitting in bleachers with a lot of people.

All of a sudden something went wrong and one plane began to fall in the sky.  The pilot jumped out knowing the plane was going down.  He started doing somersaults and perfect diving layouts before he pulled his parachute.  I just believed he would land safely.  To my utter horror he didn’t fall far at all before he dove headfirst into the ground!  Like everyone else, I was absolutely shocked and in disbelief at what I saw.

At the moment of his impact I knew in my spirit, “He is gone.”

I immediately jumped out of the bleachers and began praying in the spirit as I also did in my sleep.  I began yelling to all the people: PRAY!  PRAY!  PRAY! PRAY IN THE SPIRIT!  In my spirit I believed he would be raised from the dead.

My voice was hoarse from yelling at all the people, commanding them to pray.  I ran over to the dead man.  Other people were already there.  I recognized a friend of mine who is a strong Christian and experienced in the healing ministry.  She was just standing there saying nothing.  She just watched me as I desperately yelled for everyone to pray.  The man was not resurrected.  The dream ended.

I lay in bed for a while praying in the spirit, coming against the powers of darkness.  I was praying through with a fierceness  until I felt a release in my spirit.  It came when I heard the Words From Jesus: “ I’ll even resurrect visions.”

I must admit that lately I have been greatly vexed at the lies, plans and strategies of the enemy.  My prayer partner, Bertha Hinson, and I have been wrestling with the strongman in the spirit realm.  We are determined to take dominion and keep our feet on the enemy’s neck . The spiritual warfare has been great BUT THE REVELATION GOD IS SENDING IS GREATER.  He is opening our eyes and answering our prayers!

I rushed to my computer to record the strategies I have been praying for in the night season.   This is the prophetic word of the Lord to His body:

#WFJ: Ask Me To Resurrect Your Vision

I’ll even resurrect visions. Look to the heavens.  Look to the heavens.  See into the supernatural realm of My glory.  You have to see it and believe it to call it out of the supernatural into the natural realm.

When I told you (in the dream) to tell them to pray,  I was giving you the key  to resurrect their vision.  Pray.  Pray.  Pray.  Talk to Me.  I will give you the answers to every situation.  Call it down from the omnipotent One who sees all and knows all.  Make contact with Me and allow it to come from my mouth through the Holy Spirit through your prayers in the spirit.

My word is spirit and truth.  If you want the answers don’t stop praying. Stay in continual communion with Me so My power can flow through you in every situation no matter how impossible it seems or how distressing.  Do not look at the situation with your spiritual eyes but with eyes of faith.

Did I not raise Lazarus from the dead?  Did I not come up from the grave Myself?  Is anything too hard for Me?  THEN YOU MUST BELIEVE AND PRAY.  Just as I say in Mark 11:24- Pray, and WHEN you pray, BELIEVE that you RECEIVE WHEN YOU PRAY and you shall HAVE what you pray.

Mark 11:

Verse 22: So Jesus answered and said to them,  Have faith in God. (Have the God kind of faith).

Verse 23: For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Verse 24: Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Those aren’t just idle empty words.  They are My covenant promise to you.  ACTIVATE MY PROMISES WITH YOUR PRAYERS. Your prayers are your point of contact to activate My power.  I have given you the key and the power that comes from my command to your mouth back to My hand and then into your reality.  That is My reality of the faith connection.

I, Jesus, live to ever intercede for you.  See me seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for you KEEPING THE LINES OF COMMUNICATION AND THE FLOW OF MY SUPERNATURAL GLORY FLOWING.  IT’S AN EXCHANGE OF AN UNSEEN SOURCE OF POWER.

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.  (Hebrews 7:25).

When your prayer rises up to Me I ask God, our Father, because we are one, to answer the prayer BECAUSE YOU HAVE BELIEVED I HEAR FROM HEAVEN. When you pray and believe I hear from heaven and answer your prayer, you will have what you say because I and the Father are one and you and we are one.  God loves you just as much as He loves Me and what He does for Me is yours also.  Believe He will do it for you also.

I must honor that kind of faith because I keep My Word.  I know the difference between a desperate prayer and a prayer of faith.  There is no faith in a desperate prayer because a fear based prayer wonders (or doubts) if it will be answered. You cannot be double-minded and expect to hear from heaven and receive your answer.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.

That faith substance carries My Word, My seal, and My assurance of promise. You can be mad at the devil in holy righteous anger for what he is TRYING TO CONTINUE TO STEEL FROM YOU, BUT DON’T LET THAT DOUBT AND UNBELIEF AND THE FEAR THAT OPENS THE DOOR TO THAT CONTAMINATION (of faith substance),  HINDER YOUR PRAYERS AND BLOCK THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK AND THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU.

In calm assurance and steadfast belief, simply ASK Me and you shall receive. Your love for Me and your trust in Me opens My hand to you.  ASK, EXPECT AND RECEIVE. It’s a simple process if you put it into action the way I designed it to work.  This is how the just will live…by faith.

Behold the proud, his soul is not upright in him;  But the just shall live by his faith.  (Habakkuk 2:4).

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you.  (Mathew 7:7).

You are thinking about your car situation right now.  What are you going to do?  Put My Word into action and prove Me right.  Cast all fear, anxiety and worry aside and ask Me to provide the answer through your faith and prayer connection.  I am waiting to hear from heaven your request for My provision.

I’m bringing it back around to what I told you in the beginning of this Word.  I WILL RESURRECT THE VISION. You see a car that won’t even run.  Now see Me seated at the right hand of the Father interceding for you.  Pray and ask me to resurrect the vision. The pro means it comes before vision, before My hand of provision.

DO YOU SEE My ministering spirits working on your behalf to perform My Word and make it good?  Isn’t that what I had you write about in your last blog post?  Do you see your ministering spirits working on your car?  Do you see your ministering spirits paying the bill?  Do you see yourself shaking the hand of the service person for a job well done and paid for?  I have resurrected your vision.  You have just seen into My supernatural realm the answer to your prayer. Thank Me and praise Me for the answer because the transaction was made when you prayed believing you received when you prayed.  That’s how it works.

And next time you have a request and pray, ask Me to resurrect your vision to see what I see so you can have what you see and pray for.  I am developing your spiritual vision and prayer life so you can operate in My supernatural realm of glory. It pleases Me when My children function in My Kingdom way of doing things.  This is how the just shall live by faith.

Love in Jesus,

Prayer Power

Thank You, Father God for showing Me Your Kingdom way of doing things so I can operate in your supernatural realm and reality of the God kind of faith.  Thank you for developing My spiritual vision and prayer life so I can be transformed into the likeness of Jesus.  Amen.

PS.  After such a powerful word and vision my mind immediately went into overdrive wondering about the next time a situation arises and I pray.  What will I see?  I wonder if I will always see the answer to my prayer.  Maybe the Lord will just show me a gavel coming down to say, “Prayer request granted!” when I can’t imagine I will always see how God will answer.  The point is: I don’t have to wonder or try to figure it all out like I have always done in the past.  I just need to walk through my life with God’s promises and assurance knowing that I will surely have what I say when I boldly (with confidence) approach His throne of grace and pray, believing He hears and answers – when I pray.

I know the devil comes immediately to steal the seed of the Word of God.  Therefore I take my authority in the name and in the blood of my Lord Jesus Christ.  I command you, lying and deceiving spirit.  Shut your mouth!  I resist you now and forever.  You must flee.  I do not receive anything from you.  My trust is in Jesus alone.  Amen!
