Warring With Your Prophecy

October 11, 2014

Warring With Your Prophecy
In the book of First Timothy, Paul was encouraging Timothy to wage a good warfare concerning the prophecies that were given to him. Every one of us has received a word from God either through a personal prophetic word, or the bible - the written word. The Holy Spirit is showing me that many of you have become disheartened because you have been waiting for a prophetic word to come to pass for months and for some of you it has been years, but you still haven't received the promise in the natural. There is a process between the time that we receive the word, until the word comes to pass. The bible says in 1 Timothy 1:18 that we are to wage the good warfare with that prophecy and to fight the good fight of faith. 

The Holy Spirit gave me this analogy of two trees. Two distinct seeds were planted in the same field and at the same time. The first seed was a cherry blossom tree seed and the other was a sequoia tree seed. Each tree had the same care as they were both provided the same sunlight and water. The cherry blossom tree grew quickly and flourished beautifully with brilliant pink flowers and bright green leaves, but the seed of the sequoia tree seemed to be taking a long time to show any signs of growth. As time went on, the cherry blossom tree continued to grow and flourish but the sequoia tree seed didn't look as if it was going to amount to anything. After some time the sequoia tree began to grow towering over the cherry blossom tree and multiplied in size, surpassing the cherry blossom tree in height, width and overall proportion.

The reason why the sequoia tree took longer to grow was because it required stronger and deeper roots to support its tremendous size. Neither tree was insignificant, but each one served their purpose. Although the cherry blossom was beautiful to the eye, the sequoia tree grew to be the tallest and strongest tree in the world. In the same way, some of you have promises that are taking longer to come to pass because they are more extensive and wide range. Don't let go of the prophecy that has been given to you no matter how long it takes. Your promise will come into fruition just as these two seeds which were planted. Each promise is unique and exclusively designed. When His word comes to pass in its appointed time, you will see the vastness of it and you will be amazed at what Jesus has done in your life and ministry.

1 Timothy 1:18
This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare.

1 Timothy 6:12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:20
O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge- 21 by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith.

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world and become

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am looking for tho

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked such a question in this place. I nodded and He said, “Draw the water Su
