PURSUING JESUS PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE





 
The Lord brought me back to a prophetic word that I received about a year ago. The Holy Spirit showed me numerous Christians who were packing their bags, zipping them up, putting a lock on them, and throwing away the key. These were believers who had given up on pursuing the plans that Jesus had for their lives. In their earlier years as a believer they spent quality time in the secret place but now the light seemed to grow dim in their prayer closets. They used to be the first ones in the church when the doors opened. They no longer play worship music in their cars or search for the latest books on revival. They no longer spend time in the Word of God or soaking in the presence of God.

Pursuing Jesus has become a task and a burden rather than a privilege for some of you. Difficult times have brought discouragement. In the book of Hebrews the apostle Paul encouraged the people not to throw away their confidence because it will be greatly rewarded. If you don’t become weary in well doing, in due season you will reap if you faint not. Be persuaded that what Jesus has promised to you, He will perform and complete. He has a plan for every life and no purpose of His could be thwarted.

There are numerous stories throughout the New Testament where people would do anything to touch Jesus. Everywhere that he went people would swarm around him just to hear his teaching. Lives were transformed, people were delivered, healed and set free. A man named Jairus fell at Jesus feet and begged him to go to his house. Jesus willingly went and healed his daughter. A woman who had an issue of blood was so desperate for healing that she pressed through the crowd just to touch Jesus cloak. He replied to her; women your faith has made you whole, go in peace.

One time when Jesus went through Jericho there was a wealthy tax collector who was short in stature named Zacchaeus. He was not able to see Jesus because of the crowd so he climbed up a sycamore tree just to see him. Because of his perseverance, Jesus told him that salvation has come to his house. Jesus healed everyone who ever went to him. The only time he had to withdraw himself from doing miracles was in his own hometown because of their lack of faith. Jesus is calling you back to that place of intimacy with Him. He is pursuing you to return to your first love.

The Lord says; I am calling you back to pursue the vision that you once had. I am restoring the dreams that you have forsaken. Do not be dismayed by adverse circumstances. Do not allow discouragement to overwhelm you and lead you in the wrong direction when things happen that you have no control over. The assignments from the enemy are meant to divert you from your purpose but as you pursue your dream, your perseverance will catapult you into your destiny. The misfortunes that were sent to destroy you will strengthen you as you endure without wavering

Don’t be disillusioned when people reject you, spitefully use you or speak against you. Don’t lose your focus when situations seem hopeless but pursue the vision that you had once again. It is time to bring that dream back to life. I will restore your fragmented life and shattered dreams. I will heal your broken heart and restore your joy. Don’t be disheartened by disappointments that you have encountered and don’t allow fear to overtake you. Trust in me to once again make the crooked paths straight as you pursue the plans that I have for you once again says the Lord.


Job 42:2
“I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

John 6:2
Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.

Galatians 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Hebrews 10:35
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

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 lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
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 an...

“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 su...
